TL;DR: In this paper, the inverse Kirkendall (IK) model was applied to the binary Fe-Cr b.c. system, to determine whether observations of Cr in ferritic-martensitic (F-M) alloys can be explained by the IK mechanism.

TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of STEM and AES data was used to determine the width of the segregated layer in an ultrahigh-purity alloy doped with P. The results showed that the latter is essentially contained in a single monolayer.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the contribution of helium effects and possible contributions to swelling resistance in ferritic-martensitic steels based on the results of transmission electron microscopy analysis and found that radiation induced high density precipitates (Fe,Cr)2C were found to account for the superior swelling resistance of CNS II.

TL;DR: In this paper, the environmental degradation of four different types of grain boundaries were investigated on alloy 690 following slow strain rate tensile tests in 360°C hydrogenated water, and it was shown that the grain boundary structure dependence of SCC resistance should be understood from its effects on solute diffusivity, structure of intergranular oxide and the local stress-strain state.

TL;DR: In this paper, the oxide film formed on alloy 690 in simulated pressurized water reactor primary water is decorated with NiFe 2 O 4 particles which remain epitaxial with matrix.
