Near-α titanium alloys are known to be susceptible cold dwell fatigue (CDF) debit, which has been linked the occurrence of creep during high-load times superimposed onto low cycle loading. In order shed new light on deformation mechanisms and understand better role microstructure, two different bimodal microstructures (fine coarse transformation product) TIMETAL®834 were investigated at stress levels below 0.2% proof using a combination grain orientation mapping in-situ electron microscopy...
In this study, a range of advanced techniques have been used to characterise iodine-induced stress corrosion cracks, and investigate their interaction with microstructure in zirconium alloys as cladding material nuclear power reactors. C-ring samples, machined from tubes recrystallised cold worked condition, were subjected compressive while submerged an iodine-ethanol solution simulate cracks arising pellet interaction. The complex morphology these was imaged 3D using X-ray computed...
We present the results of first-principles calculations selected structural and thermodynamic properties a set grain boundaries (GBs) in zirconium, spanning range misorientation angles boundary planes. performed plane-wave density functional theory on low-Σ — five symmetric tilt GBs (STGBs) three twist GBs; all with axes about [0 0 1] optimised microscopic configurations to gain insight into associated atomistic structures. include our analysis such as GB excess volume, interplanar spacing,...
<ns4:p><ns4:bold>Background:</ns4:bold> Formed aluminium alloy sheet materials are increasingly adopted in production processes such as vehicle manufacturing, due to the potential for weight-saving and improved recyclability when compared more traditional steel alloys. To maximise these benefits whilst maintaining sufficient mechanical properties, link between formability microstructure must be better understood. Virtual testing is a cost-effective strategy generating microstructure-informed...
