Solute concentration is the most important factor controlling the maximum area of FPP. The numbers of precipitate particles increase with dislocation density but the number per unit length of dislocation is generally lower the higher is the dislocation density. The efficiency of nucleation by a dislocation is therefore not increased by the prior cold work and this is consistent with nucleation by climbed loops. The free-vacancy profile near grain boundaries is used to explain the FPP-free zone (PFZ) width, and this is controlled by the rate of precipitation. Silicon additions accelerate the nucleation of NbC and promote FPP formation.","PeriodicalId":103313,"journal":{"name":"Metal Science Journal","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115058111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of transition shifts to estimate the kinetics of reduction of grain-boundary cohesion can be criticized on several counts. First, it is often the case that the unembrittled condition breaks by cleavage rather than by intergranular fracture at low temperatures, so that no measure of the unembrittled grain-boundary cohesion can be obtained. Secondly, even if both fractures are intergranular, the shift compares fracture events at different temperatures and there is no guarantee that the relative grain-boundary cohesive strengths do not change with temperature.

This is accomplished by using a modified Gibbs–Thompson equation to represent the composition in the matrix at the precipitate/matrix interface as a function of precipitate radius. In this way one can account for the increasing curvature of the dissolving precipitate. The range of physical parameters for which the effect of curvature may appreciably alter the kinetics of diffusion-controlled dissolution is discussed. The presence of curvature tends to speed up dissolution, being particularly important at long times (i.e., small precipitate sizes) and when the difference between the solute concentration at the precipitate/matrix interface (Cr I ) and in the depleted matrix (C M ) is small. It is shown, however, that curvature will, in general, not sensibly affect the dissolution kinetics even at long times unless the concentration difference (Cr I – C M ) is sufficiently small.","PeriodicalId":103313,"journal":{"name":"Metal Science Journal","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128901597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most dramatic change in structures and properties occurs at pressures in excess of that required to induce the phase transformation α → ɛ → α. The value of this pressure depends on the original microstructure of the steel, so that an annealed low-carbon steel shows considerable transformation at 150 kilobars, while a normalized 0.99% C steel does not transform until the peak pressure exceeds 200 kilobars. Below the transformation pressure the low-carbon steel is strengthened by shock-loading, while this does not occur in the two high-carbon steels.","PeriodicalId":103313,"journal":{"name":"Metal Science Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122500531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the general characteristics of martensitic materials that exhibit the shape memory behaviour, some phenomena peculiar to the prototype NiTi alloy are shown to have no direct relation to the shape memory. It is concluded that the shape memory effect can be universally correlated with a martensitic transformation that is thermoelastic in nature, the thermoelasticity being attributed to ordering in the parent and martensitic phases.Prerequisites for the shape memory behaviour are suggested to be: (1) that the martensitic transformation is thermoelastic; (2) that the parent and martensitic phases are ordered; and (3) that the martensite is internally twinned.
