Grain boundary segregation of solute elements is known to be strongly influenced by
boundary characters. In this study, the equilibrium segregation of phosphorus at ferrite grain …

Irradiation-induced segregation of solutes at typical grain boundaries (GBs) ie random high-
angle, low angle and special Σ3 GBs in an Fe-Mn-Si steel has been investigated by using …

Intergranular failure of nickel (Ni) single grain boundaries (GBs) owing to the segregation of
sulfur (S), hydrogen (H), and their co-segregation has been investigated by employing micro …

During operating lifetime of a nuclear power plant, the pressure boundary components,
usually in 16MND5 (SA508 Cl. 3) steel, are subjected to thermal aging that may induce …

The corrosion behavior of pure Molybdenum (Mo) and Mo doped with 0.3 wt.% La 2 O 3 was
investigated in aerated 3.5 wt.% NaCl at 25° C. Compared with the pure Mo, the doped Mo …

Grain boundary (GB) embrittlement of reactor pressure vessel steel occurs at the long-term
operation through the radiation-enhanced segregation of impurities. All the known …

In the present study, a correlative Electron Backscattering Diffraction (EBSD)/Transmission
Kikuchi Diffraction (TKD)/Atom Probe Tomography (APT) methodology was used to …

The importance of controlling grain boundary (GB) segregation is increasing, especially with
the strengthening of steel nowadays. In this study, a theoretical prediction method for the …

Embrittlement is an essential issue for reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels. Grain-boundary
segregation (GBS) of impurity phosphorous is one of the major reasons for non-hardening …

We propose a new statistical physics model to study equilibrium solute segregation at grain
boundaries and the resulting embrittlement effect. This low-temperature expansion model is …
