Journal ArticleDOI
Colossal carbon supersaturation in austenitic stainless steels carburized at low temperature
TL;DR: A low-temperature (470 °C) gas-phase carburization treatment, developed by the Swagelok Company, increases the surface hardness of 316 austenitic stainless steels from ≈200 to ≈1000 HV25 and improves the corrosion resistance as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal-oxide interfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of metal-oxide interfaces is presented, emphasizing fundamental properties and behaviour of metaloxide interfaces, including adhesion, structure, mechanical behavior and diffusion reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of grain boundary inclination on the structure and energy of Σ=3 grain boundaries in copper
TL;DR: In this article, a combined theoretical and experimental study of the energies and structures of σ = 3, [011] tilt boundaries in Cu bicrystals were investigated. And they were calculated by static energy minimization using an embedded-atom potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon supersaturation due to paraequilibrium carburization: Stainless steels with greatly improved mechanical properties
TL;DR: In this article, low-temperature gas-phase carburization has been used to generate very high surface interstitial carbon contents, up to ∼12 at.%, in a 316L austenitic stainless steel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modified Stranski–Krastanov growth in stacked layers of self-assembled islands
TL;DR: In this paper, structural and photoluminescence results on the basis of the extensively studied lattice-mismatched material system Si/Ge were presented on a stack of vertically aligned Stranski-Krastanov grown islands, where the critical thickness for planar growth for all but the initial dot layer is reduced if the thickness of the spacer layer ts is smaller than a certain value t 0.
