Phase Transformation-Induced Interfacial Debonding of Silica Inclusions in Iron

Andreas Mortensen, David Hernandez Escobar, Julie Nathalie S Gheysen, Alejandra Inés Slagter

We document that in unstressed, undeformed, samples of pure iron containing silica inclusions precipitated by melt deoxidation, the iron matrix and a small fraction of the silica inclusions are locally separated at room temperature by a void. Thermal cycli ...

Elastocapillary menisci mediate interaction of neighboring structures at the surface of a compliant solid

John Martin Kolinski

Surface stress drives long-range elastocapillary interactions at the surface of compliant solids, where it has been observed to mediate interparticle interactions and to alter the transport of liquid drops. We show that such an elastocapillary interaction ...

Phase and microstructure selection in peritectic alloys under high G-V ratio

Wilfried Kurz, Stéphane Dobler

A new model for the case of a superposition of a phase transformation and a microstructure transition from columnar plane front to equiaxed dendritic growth for peritectic alloys is presented. This model is applied to Fe-Ni alloys where a phase transition ...

Peritectic equilibrium in Fe-Co alloys

Wilfried Kurz

Recent results of directional solidification experiments with Fe-Co alloys were not consistent with the presently accepted peritectic phase diagram. Therefore, the Fe-rich part of this phase diagram was re-examined. High-temperature gradient plane front so ...

Multiscale microshaping of functionally graded polymer-derived SiCN ceramics

Lorenz Hagelüken

Polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) exhibit excellent properties and are compatible with many shaping techniques due to the liquid character of the preceramic polymers (PCPs). Furthermore, their properties are adjustable by modifying the precursor composition ...

Measurement and prediction of the transformation strain that controls ductility and toughness in advanced steels

William Curtin, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Francesco Maresca, Efthymios Polatidis

New-generation multi-phase martensitic steels derive their high strength from the body-centered cubic (BCC) phase and high toughness from transformation of the metastable face-centered cubic (FCC) austenite that transforms into martensite upon loading. In ...
