An electron probe X-ray microanalyzer (EPMA) is an essential tool for studying chemical composition distribution in the microstructure. Quantifying chemical composition using standard specimens is commonly used to determine the composition of individual phases. However, the local difference in chemical composition in the standard specimens brings t...
To advance the understanding of the degradation of the liquid electrolyte and Si electrode, and their interface, we exploit the latest developments in cryo-atom probe tomography. We evidence Si anode corrosion from the decomposition of the Li salt before charge-discharge cycles even begin. Volume shrinkage during delithiation leads to the developme...
The effect of applied stress on the precipitation (Nb-rich MC and Nb-rich M2P) behavior in the matrix and its role in the phosphorus segregation at the grain boundary (GB) are investigated in a TP347H austenitic stainless steel. The two parts (gage and grip) in the rupture test specimens under the applied stress of 80 MPa at 750 degrees C are inves...

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd The influence of 0.01–2 mol% Fe 2 O 3 powder addition on the microstructure, mechanical and optical properties, and hydrothermal stability of highly-translucent 3Y-TZP ceramics is assessed and compared with commercially available co-precipitated 0.18 mol% Fe 2 O 3 doped ZrO 2 powder-based ceramics. Only those ceramics with up to...
Interatomic potentials for the Ni-Ti and Ni-Al-Ti systems have been developed based on the second nearest-neighbor modified embedded-atom method (2NN-MEAM) formalism. The Ni-Ti binary potential reproduces fundamental materials properties (structural, elastic, thermodynamic, and thermal stability) of alloy systems in reasonable agreement with experi...

A computational and experimental study has been carried out to produce highly value-added {100} textured steel sheets. This study is based on an idea that an anisotropic surface segregation tendency of impurity atoms would cause an inversion of relative surface energy between {110} and {100} surfaces in bcc Fe and may induce the formation of {100} ...
An attempt is made, on the basis to published literature, to assess the amount of phosphorus that might be present in the steels without making it susceptible to grain boundary embrittlement. Embrittlement occurs when the general resistance to plastic flow is comparable to the stress required to separate crystals at their boundaries. A criterion is...
The phosphorus segregation concentration at grain boundary/carbide interfaces of 2.25Cr-1.5W heat-resistant steels under tensile stress shows a broad convex profile in a log time versus segregation concentration plot. The decrease in phosphorus segregation concentration after the maximum in the convex profile is due to the formation of new equilibr...
