The thermally activated distortion with amplification effect and related variant selection in red gold alloys

Cyril Cayron, Roland Logé, Margaux Nathalie Dominique Larcher

Variant selection during the A1→L10 transformation in a polycrystalline red gold alloy close to equiatomic Au-Cu composition has been extensively studied by Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) in our previous work. The use of a mathematical description ...

What EBSD and TKD Tell Us about the Crystallography of the Martensitic B2-B19′ Transformation in NiTi Shape Memory Alloys

Cyril Cayron

The complex and intricate microstructure of B19′ martensite in shape memory nickel titanium alloys is generally explained with the Phenomenological Theory of Martensitic Crystallography (PTMC). Over the last decade, we have developed an alternative approac ...

Design using randomness: a new dimension for metallurgy

William Curtin

High entropy alloys add a new dimension, atomic-scale randomness and the associated scale-dependent composition fluctuations, to the traditional metallurgical axes of time-temperature-composition-microstructure. Alloy performance is controlled by the energ ...

Solute-dislocation interactions and creep-enhanced Cu precipitation in a novel ferritic-martensitic steel

Cyril Cayron, Roland Logé, Bo Xiao

G115 steel has gained a growing interesting recently for its use in next-generation ultra-supercritical power plant applications. Due to the high densities of dislocations and lath martensite boundaries in G115 steel, interactions between solutes and dislo ...

Variant selection in martensitic steels

Annick Pauline Baur

The martensitic phase transformation in steel is one of the most famous solid state transformation because of its contribution in the development of the modern industry. This transformation from a face-centered cubic (FCC) high temperature phase, called th ...

On the chevron morphology of surface martensite

Cyril Cayron, Annick Pauline Baur, Roland Logé

It is established that the annealing twin boundaries of austenite act as nucleation sites for the martensitic transformation. In the present study, we observe that in surface martensite the transformation only takes place for twin boundaries that are appro ...

Deformation-induced martensitic transformation under multiaxial loading

Wei-Neng Hsu

The deformation-induced martensitic transformation observed in specific materials can enhance their mechanical properties or result in functional properties. For example, the transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) effect results in a good combination of ...

A crystallographic extension to the Olson-Cohen model for predicting strain path dependence of martensitic transformation

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Efthymios Polatidis

A modification to the empirical Olson-Cohen strain-induced austenite to martensite transformation kinetic model is proposed. The proposed kinetic model accounts for the stress state at the grain level and the crystallography of the transformation mechanism ...

Experimental and theoretical investigation of crystallography and variant selection during massive transformation in Zr alloy

Cyril Cayron

Massive transformation, as a non-conventional solid-state phase transformation mode, is scarcely observed in metals with hexagonal closed packed (HCP) structure, especially in Zr and its alloys. In this study, however, we report the massive transformation ...

Electron backscatter diffraction study of variant selection during ordering phase transformation in L1(0)-type red gold alloy

Cyril Cayron, Roland Logé, Margaux Nathalie Dominique Larcher

A shape-memory effect is known to appear in red gold alloys with compositions close to Au-Cu. The aim of this paper is to study by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) the variant selection in the A1 -> L1(0) transformation occurring under stress, in be ...

Effect of cooling conditions on microstructures and mechanical behaviors of reheated low-carbon weld metals

Cyril Cayron, Roland Logé, Rui Cao, Gaojun Mao

An investigation was conducted to systematically explore the relationships among microstructure evolution, continuous cooling transformation kinetics, and mechanical properties development in a low-carbon reheated weld metal (0.052C-1.5Mn-0.3Si-0.7Cr-0.8Mo ...
