The microstructural evolutions of advanced 9–12% Cr ferrite/martensite heat-resistant steels
used for power generation plants are reviewed in this article. Despite of the small differences …

A new model describing the microstructure and strength of lath martensite is introduced. The
packet and block size were found to linearly depend on the prior-austenite grain size when …

The strengthening contributions in medium-carbon tempered martensite are unveiled in this
work. By using transmission electron microscopy and synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction …

The initial microstructure of a wide range of structural materials is conditioned by thermo-
mechanical treatments such as hot-working, tempering, or solution annealing. At the …

Abstract Effects of quenching-tempering heat treatment on microstructural evolution and
fracture behavior of microalloyed high strength suspension spring 55SiCrVNb were …

High-strength low-alloyed (HSLA) steels for oil country tubular goods (OCTGs) are usually
microalloyed with niobium (Nb) and vanadium (V). In this work, the microstructure and …

In view of develo** novel alloys for applications in advanced Generation IV lead-cooled
fast reactor (LFR) fuel cladding materials, four 9Cr ferrite/martensite (F/M) heat resistant …

The high dislocation density (ρ d) in Fe-C and/or Fe-N martensite is known to be one of the
main causes of its overall yield strength. Experiments indicate that the dislocation density …

Creep deformation and rupture behaviour of 9Cr–1.8 W–0.5 Mo–VNb steel have been
investigated at 873 K, 923 K and 973 K over a stress range of 80–220 MPa. The absence of …

Abstract Direct Laser Deposition (DLD) opens new ways for the fabrication of tools with
intricate designs as well as for dies and molds repairing. However, non-equilibrium, and …
