Nanoscale precipitation is one of the most widely used microstructural tools to manipulate
the properties of metallic alloys, and especially to reach high strength. Optimal …

Duplex stainless steels (DSS) suffer from thermal aging embrittlement after long-term service
in the temperature range of 280-320° C, leading to severe deterioration of mechanical …

Microstructure and mechanical properties of TiZrNbTa high-entropy alloy (HEA) in the as-

Duplex stainless steels suffer from thermal aging embrittlement that results from severe
phase decomposition in ferrite phase after a long-term service at temperatures of 550–700 …

Fe and Cr phase separation in ferrite, causing 475° C-embrittlement, was studied after very
short aging times in super duplex stainless steel (SDSS) and hyper duplex stainless steel …

Application of an external magnetic field during heat treatment affects the hardness of
magnetic Fe-Cr-Co alloys. The microstructure and composition at atomic scale, as well as …

Fe-25Cr-15Co (wt.%) permanent magnets were fabricated via selective laser melting (SLM)
and in situ alloying from a blend of Fe, Cr and Co elemental powders. Under the optimal …

Spinodal decomposition mechanism is well-known for producing nanoscale modulated
microstructure which is either sponge-like or plate-like. Our recent investigations of a Ti-Nb …

Duplex stainless steels are a group of widely used stainless steels, because of their
attractive combination of strength and corrosion resistance. However, these steels embrittle …
