TL;DR: In this paper, the observed chemical heterogeneity coincident with dislocation cell structures is actually the result of local, strain energy density induced solid state diffusion, which is a previously unrecognized interaction of phenomena, that, when acting in concert, give rise to this commonly observed substructure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that cellular features in additively manufactured (AM)/selectively laser melted (SLM) 316L stainless steel components are correlated with significantly enhanced mechanical strength.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of rapid heating and cooling rates associated with welding thermal cycles on the phase transformations and microstructures, specifically in the heat-affected zone, were determined using dilatometry, microhardness, and micro-structural characterization.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of clay platelet size on the corrosion barrier performance of highly-aligned polymer clay nanocomposite (PCN) thin films was examined, and the results support the premise that high aspect ratio clay platelets can improve corrosion barrier efficacy of LbL PCN films by decreasing film permeability and provide exceptional protection to steel in saline environments compared to other thin multilayer coatings and pretreatments.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of welding thermal cycles on the mechanical properties of a high strength, high ballistic resistance 10 wt pct Ni steel were studied using a Gleeble 3500 thermal-mechanical simulator.
