A data-analysis methodology is presented for the characterization of three-dimensional
microstructures of polycrystalline materials from data acquired using three-dimensional X …

Understanding how minerals are spatially distributed within natural materials and their
textures is indispensable to understanding the fundamental processes of how these …

Polymorphism is the ability of a solid material to exist in more than one phase or crystal
structure. Polymorphism may occur in metals, alloys, ceramics, minerals, polymers, and …

Understanding the underlying mechanisms of grain coarsening is important in controlling
the properties of metals, which strongly depend on the microstructure that forms during the …

microscopy (LSCM) with the time-resolved X-ray diffraction (TRXRD) measurement with …

The evolution of the size distribution of (Fe, Cr) carbides and the dislocation structure in low-
chromium steel is studied during quenching and rapid heating by in situ small-angle X-ray …

Interphase precipitation occurring during solid-state phase transformations in micro-alloyed
steels is generally studied through transmission electron microscopy, atom probe …

Due to the heat induced by welding process, Heat-affected zone (HAZ) microstructure and
properties may significantly differ from base metal in steels. Careful designed integrity of …

The temperature of the sample in a resistance-heated diamond anvil cell is difficult to be
