An experimental approach for estimating the effect of heat affected zone (HAZ) microstructural gradient on fatigue crack growth rate in aluminum alloy FSW
(2017)The microstructural gradient of the heat affected zone (HAZ) in aluminum alloy FSW has been simulated experimentally by subjecting the parent alloy to a controlled aging process. The purpose of the simulation is to estimate ... -
Microstructural and mechanical characterization of solidified austenitic stainless steels
(2017)Among the family of stainless steels, cast austenitic stainless steels (CASSs) are preferably used due to their high mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. These steels owe their properties to their microstructural ... -
Multi-phase field modeling in TRIP steels: Distributed vs. average stability and strain-induced transformation of retained austenite
(2022)Austenite stability and dispersion are key parameters controlling the strain-induced transformation of Retained Austenite (RA) to martensite in TRIP steels. Stabilization is achieved through a two-stage heat-treatment ... -
A novel FastRSA algorithm: Statistical properties and evolution of microstructure
(2019)While the Random Sequential Adsorption (RSA) process for the generation of 2D geometries containing discrete entities has been extensively studied, both in terms of numerical simulations and in terms of its statistical ... -
Phase-Field Modeling of Nugget Zone for a AZ31-Mg-Alloy Friction Stir Weld
(2018)This work presents simulation of microstructure evolution in the nugget zone (NZ) of a AZ31-Mg-alloy friction stir weld. The process parameters (tool geometrical characteristics, rotational speed, travel speed, applied ... -
Simulation of dissolution and coarsening in the HAZ of 6061 Al- alloy during laser welding
(2005)Application of laser beam welding (LBW) in heat treatable aluminum alloys causes softening of the heat affected zone (HAZ). This loss in hardness, reflects the relevant microstructural changes due to dissolution and ...
