Austenitic stainless steels are employed in many industrial fields, due to their excellent
corrosion resistance, easy formability and weldability. However, their low hardness, poor …

This review paper focuses on dislocations and plastic deformation in magnesium oxide
crystals. MgO is an archetype ionic ceramic with refractory properties which is of interest in …

In order to probe the superior nano/micron scale mechanical behaviors of ultra-fine grain
(UFG) austenitic stainless steel as compared with coarse grain (CG) counterpart, systematic …

Instrumented nanoindentation was used to investigate the hardness, elastic modulus, and
creep behavior of an austenitic Fe-20Cr-25Ni model alloy at room temperature, with the …

Gradient structures with enhanced performance are ubiquitously observed in nature and in
engineering materials. In this paper, we studied the impact resistance of two types of broadly …

The influence of Si addition on the microstructure and mechanical behavior of cast silicon
stainless steel alloys was investigated. It was recognized that after incorporation of Si in the …

It has generally been believed that the formation of the S phase or expanded austenite γ N
with enough thickness depends on the temperature (lower than 480° C) and duration of the …

Owing to the rapid cooling rates and directional thermal gradients involved, fusion-based
additive manufacturing (AM) processes yield complex, fine solidification structures that …

A method is presented for the registration and correlation of property maps of materials,
including data from nanoindentation hardness, Electron Back-Scattered Diffraction (EBSD) …

Chromium–chromium nitride multi-coating barriers were synthesized on HT9 steel disks
using the electroplating and radiofrequency (RF) plasma nitriding techniques, respectively …
