The formation of nano-sized, coherent, solute-rich clusters (NSRC) is known to be an
important factor causing the degradation of the macroscopic properties of steels under …

Abstract Development of irradiation hardening models attracts extensive attention in
designing nuclear materials. Dislocation dynamics (DD) method is a powerful tool in this …

Precipitation strengthening has been utilized to improve the properties of metallic materials
so far. Since interactions between precipitates and dislocations are micro-mechanisms …

The mechanical properties of Mg-Al alloys are greatly influenced by the complex
intermetallic phase Mg 17 Al 12, which is the most dominant precipitate found in this alloy …

We use density functional theory (DFT) to compute the core structures of a 0 [100](010)
edge, a 0 [100](011) edge, a 0/2 [1¯ 1¯ 1](1 1¯ 0) edge, and a 0/2 [111](1 1¯ 0) 71∘ mixed …

The exact nature of the radiation defects causing hardening in reactor vessel pressure steels
at high doses is not yet clearly determined. While generally it is attributed to solute-rich …

The thermo-mechanical behavior of non-irradiated (at 223 K, 302 K and 573 K) and neutron
irradiated (at 573 K) Fe-2.5 Cr, Fe-5Cr and Fe-9Cr alloys is studied by a self-consistent …

In this work, we utilized spherical nanoindentation to investigate the mechanical property
changes of helium (He) implanted tungsten (W) at different damage doses. According to the …

The interaction between edge dislocations and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) embedded into an
Al matrix is investigated. Both pristine and Ni-coated CNTs are considered. It is …

A relative contribution to irradiation hardening caused by dislocation loops and solute-rich
precipitates is established for RPV steels of WWER-440 and WWER-1000 reactors, based …
