Creep Properties of Fe-Cr Alloys Aged at 475°C

Atomistic Study of Surfaces and Interfaces of Fe-Cr and Fe-Cr-Al Alloys

Surface and interface properties of Fe-Cr, Fe-Al, and Fe-Cr-Al are studied using Exact Muffin-Tin Orbitals and Monte Carlo methods and with x-ray photoelectron and Auger electron techniques. Surface composition is investigated as a function of oxidation (heating) time. Hard x ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) is used to scan non destructively the compositions below the surface. It is foun...

Cavitation erosion of laser processed Fe-Cr-Mn and Fe-Cr-Co alloys

Purpose: Purpose of this paper is attempt explanation how laser beam processing influence on the cavitation performance of the Fe-Cr-Mn and Fe-Cr-Co alloys. This kind of alloys are frequently used in Polish power plants to routine repairs of damaged blades working under cavitation loading. Design/methodology/approach: Padding welds of investigated alloys were tested for three cases: after laser...

Cavitation erosion behaviour of laser processed Fe-Cr-Mn and Fe-Cr-Co alloys

Purpose: Purpose of this paper is investigation of influence of the surface processing by laser method on the cavitation performance of the Fe-Cr-Mn and Fe-Cr-Co alloys. This kind of alloys are frequently used in Polish power plants to routine repairs of damaged blades working under cavitation loading.

Effect of pressure on phase stability in Fe-Cr alloys

Nanoscale Phase Evolution during Continuum Decomposition of Fe-Cr Alloys

The continuum decomposition of the Fe-Cr alloys from initial phase separation to steady-state coarsening with concentrations varying from 25 at % Cr and 30 at % Cr to 33 at % Cr aged at 750 K was studied by utilizing three-dimensional phase-field simulations. The dynamic stages of separation of nanoscale Cr-enriched α' phase were distinguished by the evolution of the volume fraction, particle n...
