Effect of pre-existing immobile dislocations on the evolution of geometrically necessary dislocations during fatigue

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Nicolò Grilli, Ainara Irastorza Landa

The role of pre-existing mobile and immobile dislocation densities on the evolution of geometrical necessary dislocation densities (GNDs) during cyclic fatigue in shear is studied using a continuum dislocation-based model incorporated in a crystal plastici ...

A miniaturized selective laser melting device for operando X-ray diffraction studies

Steven Van Petegem, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Nicola Casati, Samy Hocine

We report on the development of a miniaturized device for operando X-ray diffraction during laser 3D printing. The printing chamber has a size of only 130 x 135 x 34 mm(3) and is optimized to be installed at synchrotron beamlines. We describe the design co ...

BCCFe surface and cluster magnetism using a magnetic potential

Helena Van Swygenhoven

A semi-empirical potential for ferromagnetic bcc iron that also models the co-linear magnetic moment of each atom, has been applied to clusters and surfaces. Surface energies of low index facets, surface relaxation and magnetic moment are calculated and co ...

Deciphering the interactions between single arm dislocation sources and coherent twin boundary in nickel bi-crystal

Helena Van Swygenhoven

The introduction of a well-controlled population of coherent twin boundaries (CTBs) is an attractive route to improve the strength ductility product in face centered cubic (FCC) metals. However, the elementary mechanisms controlling the interaction between ...

The interplay between deformation mechanisms in austenitic 304 steel during uniaxial and equibiaxial loading

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Wei-Neng Hsu

The preferred deformation mechanisms with respect to the load path are studied in a medium stacking fault energy 304 austenitic stainless steel that exhibits both transformation induced plasticity and twinning induced plasticity. In situ neutron diffractio ...

An in-situ synchrotron study on microplastic flow of electrodeposited nanocrystalline nickel

Steven Van Petegem, Helena Van Swygenhoven

Deformation in nanocrystalline (NC) materials is strongly influenced by the presence of a large fraction of grain boundaries. We present a comparative study on the role of intragranular root-mean-square strain and crystal-lographic texture on recovery proc ...

The effect of stress triaxiality on the phase transformation in transformation induced plasticity steels: Experimental investigation and modelling the transformation kinetics

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Nicola Casati

In situ multiaxial loading during neutron diffraction tests were undertaken on a low-alloyed Quenched and Partitioning (Q&P) Transformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) Bainitic Ferrite (TBF) steel with dispersed austenite particles. The effect of stress tria ...

In situ characterization of a high work hardening Ti-6Al-4V prepared by electron beam melting

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Nicola Casati, Karl Alan Sofinowski

A multi-phase Ti-6Al-4V prepared by electron beam melting and thermal post treatments has been shown to exhibit increased strength and ductility over standard wrought or hot isostatic pressed Ti-6-Al-4V. The mechanical improvements are due to a prolonged, ...

Deformation mechanisms in a superelastic NiTi alloy: An in-situ high resolution digital image correlation study

Helena Van Swygenhoven

An in-situ high resolution digital image correlation investigation during uniaxial tensile deformation reveals the recoverable and the non-recoverable strain mechanisms in a Ni51Ti49 alloy with a mean grain size of 35 mu m. Recoverable strain is due to the ...

INTERNAL STRESS GENERATION DURING QUENCHING OF THICK HEAT TREATABLE ALUMINIUM ALLOYS

Jean-Marie Drezet, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Nicolas Paul Henry Chobaut, Patrick Schloth

In the current trend toward thicker aluminium plates, a major concern is the stress build-up during quenching which causes distortions during machining. Indeed, cooling rates are not high enough, especially at the core of such thick plates, to prevent any ...

Laue micro-diffraction and crystal plasticity finite element simulations to reveal a vein structure in fatigued Cu

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Nicolò Grilli, Ainara Irastorza Landa

The formation of a vein during cyclic shearing of a single copper crystal oriented for single slip can be followed in transmission Laue diffraction by analyzing the spatially resolved lattice rotation evolution. Because Laue transmission integrates the sig ...

In situ room temperature tensile deformation of a 1% CrMoV bainitic steel using synchrotron and neutron diffraction

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem

Neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction spectra have been acquired during room temperature tensile deformation of a creep-resistant bainitic 1% CrMoV steel, in order to study the evolution of internal microstresses and load-sharing mechanisms between the ...

Deformation and degradation of superelastic NiTi under multiaxial loading

Steven Van Petegem, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Nicola Casati, Wei-Neng Hsu

The degradation of the superelastic properties of a commercial NiTi alloy is studied during uniaxial, biaxial and load-path-change cycling performed in-situ with synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Careful examination of the diffraction pattern during uniaxial ...

Origin of Anomalous Slip in Tungsten

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem, Cécile Renée Maria Marichal

Low-temperature deformation of body-centered cubic metals shows a significant amount of plastic slip on planes with low shear stresses, a phenomenon called anomalous slip. Despite progress in atomistic modeling of the consequences of complex stress states ...
