Nanoindentation Hardness and Modulus of Al2O3-SiO2-CaO and MnO-SiO2-FeO Inclusions in Iron

Andreas Mortensen, Léa Deillon, Alejandra Inés Slagter, Eva Luisa Vogt, David Hernandez Escobar, Jonathan Aristya Setyadji

Oxide inclusions appear in steel as a subproduct of steelmaking. These are generally detrimental to alloy properties; however, variations exist in the extent to which different inclusions are harmful because their properties vary as a function of their che ...

Micromechanics of oxide inclusions in ferrous alloys

Alejandra Inés Slagter

Oxide inclusions are inevitably present in steel as a direct consequence of the steelmaking process; as a result, a cubic centimetre of modern steel will generally contain about a million of these hard and brittle micrometre-sized ceramic particles. Inclus ...

Nanoindentation of embedded particles

Andreas Mortensen, Alejandra Inés Slagter, Joris Pierre Everaerts

We address the effect of elastic inhomogeneity on elastic modulus and hardness determinations made by depth-sensing indentations performed on individual particles embedded within a matrix of different elastic modulus. Finite element simulations and nanoind ...

Room-temperature strength of the interfacial bond between silica inclusions and iron

Andreas Mortensen, Alejandra Inés Slagter, David Hernandez Escobar, Sergio Perosanz Amarillo

The strength of the interface between iron (Fe) and individual spherical silica (SiO2) inclusions of 5 +/- 1 mu m diameter is measured by means of in-situ micro-cantilever bending tests conducted under displacement control within a scanning electron micros ...

Phase Transformation-Induced Interfacial Debonding of Silica Inclusions in Iron

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

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 ...

Strong silicon oxide inclusions in iron

Andreas Mortensen, Léa Deillon, Alejandra Inés Slagter, Joris Pierre Everaerts

Oxide inclusions are ubiquitous in steel and are known to affect, generally in a negative sense, the mechanical performance of steel products. Micromechanical properties of those phases are therefore important, yet they have remained largely unexplored. We ...

A method for cleaning flat punch diamond microprobe tips

Andreas Mortensen, Alejandra Inés Slagter, Joris Pierre Everaerts

Microprobe tips are commonly used to perform in-situ micromechanical tests within an electron microscope. In service, such tips have a tendency to accumulate along their surface a layer of deposited material. Tip cleanliness is crucial in order to obtain r ...
