A new generation of iron-based matrix composite reinforced by TiB2 particles was deformed in tension to investigate at a mesoscopic scale the localization of plastic deformation in relation with characteristic microstructural features of the composite (in particular, ferrite grain boundaries and particle/matrix interfaces). Large Electron Back-Scat...

The majority of UK’s intermediate level radioactive waste is currently stored in 316L and 304L austenitic stainless steel containers in interim storage facilities for permanent disposal until a geological disposal facility has become available. The structural integrity of stainless steel canisters is required to persevere against environmental degr...
© 2015 Elsevier B.V. Electron Beam Melting (EBM), a powder bed additive layer manufacturing process, was used to produce Ti-6Al-4V specimens, whose microstructure, texture, and tensile properties were fully characterized. The microstructure, analyzed by optical microscopy, SEM/EBSD and X-ray diffraction, consists in fine α lamellae. Numerical recon...

The influence of the relative orientation of the ferrite crystallite lattice and the cementite lamellae on the hardness of pearlitic steel has been investigated by a combination of nanoindentation and electron microscopy (electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)). Three pearlitic samples, each with a different...

Lattice Preferred Orientation (LPO) of quartz and muscovite are measured in a micaceous quartzite using SEM based Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) analysis. The measurements were done in a thin section prepared parallel to the K1K3 plane of the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) ellipsoid, which is equivalent to the XZ plane of the ...
The formation of Cube oriented elements in plane strain compressed aluminium has been studied by EBSD for both hot and cold deformations. By following the orientation changes of the same set of 176 grains deformed at 400 °C up to a strain of 1.2 using a split sample, it is shown that about 15% of the grains can break up into several regions of very...

(Bi2Te3)x(Sb2Te3)1−x solid solutions with x = 0:2, 0.25 and 0.3 − p type thermoelectric compounds with an excess of Tellurium dopant up to 4 wt% were crystallized. By increasing the Bi2Te3 content in the Bi-Sb-Te system, the hole concentration decreased and in consequence caused an optimum Seebeck coefficient and a decrease in electrical conductivi...

The until now controversially discussed existence of the two-phase equilibrium α-Fe + ∊-Fe3(N, C)1+x in the ternary system Fe – N – C was proven by the investigation (optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Electron Backscatter Diffraction) of compound-layer microstructures generated by gaseous nitrocarburising of pure iron and subsequent secondary ...
