Microstructure Evolution in a GOES Thin Strip

Interface controlled microstructure evolution in nanolayered thin films

Article history: Received 17 March 2016 Received in revised form 21 May 2016 Accepted 22 May 2016 Available online 7 June 2016 X-ray nano-diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were conducted along the thickness of a ~4 μm thick CrN/AlN multilayer with continuously increasing AlN layer thicknesses from ~1 to 15 nm on ~7 nm thick CrN template layers. The experiments reveal coherent gro...

Analysis of microstructure effects on edge crack of thin strip during cold rolling

In vitro evolution goes deep.

A pproximately 20 years ago when one of the authors of this commentary was a postdoctoral fellow in Bob Sauer’s laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, an extremely energetic individual (the author in question was not one of these) could run three sequencing gels in one day, and thus potentially obtain 72 sequence reads of a few hundred bases each (in practice, unfortunately, one n...

Microstructure prediction and control in hot strip mills *Dr

A key determinant of the quality of hot-rolled strip is mechanical properties lying within the tolerance range. Traditionally, this is done by testing samples which is costly, time-consuming and ties up stock awaiting test results. An alternative is given by MicroStructureMonitor, a computer model-based system which calculates the required quality parameters rather than measuring them and addit...

Crystal Precipitation and Dissolution in a Thin Strip∗

A two-dimensional micro-scale model for crystal dissolution and precipitation in a porous medium is presented. The local geometry of the pore is represented as a thin strip. The model allows for changes in the pore volume. A formal limiting argument leads to a system of 1D effective upscaled equations. The effective equations allow for travelling wave solutions. Existence and uniqueness of thes...
