The Contour method is a powerful residual stress measurement method, that is still under development. A limitation of the technique is that the component must be cut into two...

Though the single phase martensite of low alloy steel usually has a total elongation less than 5% and cannot directly apply to the commercial steel sheets, the multilayered...

The proposed experiment will focus on determining the level of texture memory and variant selection on both heating and cooling for steel and titanium and zirconium alloys with...

Dense mechanical twins and phase transformation are the most attractive athermal transformation processes since they can endow alloys with significant strength enhancement as...

Duplex stainless steels have a microstructure composed of 50% ferrite and 50% austenite. This microstructure confers them high mechanical properties and corrosion resistance....

This experiment aims to study the strain induced transformation mechanism at temperatures between room temperature and low temperatures, and at extremely low temperatures. These...

Current UK reactors use a graphite composite material in the core and this material comprises coarse grains and about 20 vol.% porosity. This material functions well so far but...

Catastrophic failures of lithium batteries is a major safety concern, however our understanding and control over the mechanisms of these failures is still lacking. Lithium is...

This project is being conducted at the Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC), funded by UK government through the “Innovative UK (I-UK)” initiative known as Manufacturing...

Reduced Activation Ferritic-Martensitic steels (RAFMs) are the primary candidate structuralmaterial for the FDS series LiPb blankets for fusion reactors, in particular the Dual...

Additive manufacturing, otherwise know as 3D printing is gaining in industrial relevance as a manufacturing technique partially due to the ability to fabricate complex...

Welding-induced distortions and residual stresses of structural components can result in significant increase in manufacturing costs and then limit the development of innovative...

UK power plants are following the worldwide trends in the power generating industry, in line with demands for increases in the efficiency of existing power plants and for...

The investigation is aimed to confirm the non-diffusive process known as strain-induced martensite formation which could manifest itself in Duplex Stainless Steel (DSS) during...

9 EBSD Maps as CTF (The format is a ASCII text format developed by Oxford, but sufficiently explicit to be used outside of Oxford software). Acquisition parameters and steel...
