Mechanical Loss Spectrum of the Fe-20%Ni-C Alloys at Negative Temperatures

Mechanical behaviour of Fe-C alloys during phase transformations

The mechanical behaviour of Fe-C aiioys have been determined in their phase transformation ranges during isothermal or anisothermal transformations. Two models an analytical model and a fii te element model have been used in order to calculate the behaviour of the material. Considering a macroscopic scale, these models show that the mechanical behaviour can be well described when an additional ...

Fe–Al–Mn–C lightweight structural alloys: a review on the microstructures and mechanical properties

Adding a large amount of light elements such as aluminum to steels is not a new concept recalling that several Fe-Al-Mn-C alloys were patented in 1950s for replacement of nickel or chromium in corrosion resistance steels. However, the so-called lightweight steels or low-density steels were revisited recently, which is driven by demands from the industry where steel has served as a major structu...

Hydrogen Effects on the Point Defect Spectrum in Fe-C Alloys

As part of a multi-scale approach for modeling hydrogen embrittlement in hardened steels we have investigated, employing density functional theory methods, the stability and concentrations of the point defect clusters present in metastable Fe-C-H alloys with vacancies. The defect spectrum is found to be strongly dependent on the local vacancy concentration, and for low hydrogen levels sharp hig...

Hydrogen-vacancy interactions in Fe-C alloys.

Energetics and concentrations of hydrogen-containing point defect clusters (PDCs) in Fe-C alloys are calculated and cast into a PDC dominance diagram. Because of the strong binding effects of iron vacancies on the stability of the clusters, hydrogen accumulation requires the total hydrogen and vacancy concentrations to be comparable. As a result of the interplay between repulsive and attractive...
