Transition metal carbides with NaCl-structure have long been in focus for the design of
hydrogen embrittlement (HE) resistant high strength steels. While previous studies …

Nanocomposite thin films, comprising two or more distinct materials at nanoscale, have
attracted significant research interest considering their potential of integrating multiple …

Refinement of the as-cast grain structure of austenitic steels requires the presence of active
solid nuclei during solidification. These nuclei can be formed in situ in the liquid alloy by …

The present study systematically investigates the adsorption behavior of Fe atoms on the
titanium carbonitride (Ti (C x N 1− x)) surface during the initial stage of austenite nucleation …

Two inoculation methods were utilized to introduce titanium nitride (TiN) particles into an
AISI 316L steel melt to refine the as-cast grain structure during solidification. The design of …

Metal/ceramics interfaces, ubiquitous in functional materials, alloys, and coatings/films
systems, provide excellent mechanical and chemical properties, mainly originating from …

Inoculation of cast iron with spherical graphite (SGI) controls nucleation kinetics of graphite
nodules and is used for improving casting performance and eliminating solidification micro …

The effect of solutes, Co, Cu, Cr, Mn, Mo, Nb, Ni, Ta, Ti, V and Zr, in steel on the penetration
properties of Zn and stability of surface or matrix were explored theoretically using density …

The potential of different inclusions to act as heterogeneous nucleation sites for primary
austenite during solidification of a lightweight Fe–30Mn–5.5 Al–1.5 C–1.2 Si steel was …

Heterogeneous nucleation of NbN induced by TiN inclusions is important to play the role of
precipitation strengthening in high-nitrogen austenitic stainless steels. In this work, the …
