- Information on the diffusional transformation products of austenite in high-carbon steels is reviewed and supplemented with new microscopic studies. A comparison with transformation products in low-carbon steels indicates that there is a symmetry with pearlite in the middle, where ferrite and cementite are equal partners, and with acicular ferrite or cementite on each side. They both form with a surface relief, and at lower temperatures, each one is the leading phase in a eutectoid microstructure, bainite and inverse bainite, respectively. However, there is an asymmetry because at low temperatures bainite appears in high-carbon steels but inverse bainite never appears in low-carbon steels. At a constant high carbon content, there is another kind of symmetry, which is related to temperature. At intermediate temperatures the eutectoid reaction results in spherical nodules in which the cementite constituent originates from Widmanstatten plates. It turns spiky at both higher and lower temperatures with the leading phase in the spikes being cementite at higher temperatures and ferrite at lower temperatures. In the first kind of symmetry, there is an abrupt change among the three reaction products; in the second kind of symmetry, there is a gradual change. Accepting that all the eutectoid microstructures form by diffusion of carbon, one may explain the existence of both symmetries by the variation of the ratio of the supersaturations of ferrite and cementite with carbon content and with temperature.

- Knowledge about age-specific normal values for left ventricular mass (LVM), end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), stroke volume (SV) and ejection fraction (EF) by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is of importance to differentiate between health and disease and to assess the severity of disease. The aims of the study were to determine age and gender specific normal reference values and to explore the normal physiological variation of these parameters from adolescence to late adulthood, in a cross sectional study.

- BACKGROUND: The physiological determinants of left ventricular mass (LVM) measured by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging are not well defined as prior investigators have studied either adults or adolescents in isolation or have not strictly excluded hypertension or accounted for the effects of exercise habits, haemodynamic, demographic, or body shape characteristics. METHODS: A total of 102 healthy volunteers (12-81 years, 53 males) underwent CMR. All parameters [unstandardized and adjusted for body surface area (BSA)] were analysed according to gender and by adolescence versus adulthood (adolescents <20 years, adults > or = 20 years). The influence of haemodynamic factors, exercise, and demographic factors on LVM were determined with multivariate linear regression. Results: LVM rose during adolescence and declined in adulthood. LVM and LVMBSA were higher in males both in adults (LVM: 188 +/- 22 g versus 139 +/- 21 g, P < 0.001; LVMBSA: 94 +/- 11 g m(-2) versus 80 +/- 11 g m(-2), P < 0.001) and in adolescents when adjusted for BSA (LVM: 128 +/- 29 g versus 107 +/- 20 g, P = 0.063; LVMBSA: 82 +/- 8 g m(-2) versus 71 +/- 10 g m(-2), P = 0.025). In adults, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and self-reported physical activity increased while meridional and circumferential wall stress were constant with age. Multivariate regression analysis revealed age, gender, and BSA as the major determinants of LVM (global R2 = 0.69). CONCLUSIONS: Normal LVM shows variation over a broad age range in both genders with a rise in adolescence and subsequent decline with increasing age in adulthood despite an increase in SBP and physical activity. BSA, age, and gender were found to be major contributors to the variation in LVM in healthy adults, while haemodynamic factors, exercise, and wall stress were not.

- An analytical flow stress model, based on isotropic strain gradient plasticity theory, for precipitation hardened materials, is proposed and evaluated against tensile data on a 15 wt% Cr - 5 wt% Ni (15-5) PH stainless steel. The 15-5 PH material was aged at 500 °C for 1 h, 2 h, 5 h and 50 h to obtain a wide range of precipitate sizes. Detailed characterisation of precipitates was obtained using atom probe tomography (APT). A second material, a 15-5 stainless steel without added Cu was heat treated to obtain a similar matrix microstructure as in the 15-5 PH, but without Cu precipitates. Tensile testing revealed that the heat treated 15-5 PH material covered the full range from under- to overaged conditions. The analytical model, which accounts for stress reducing effects of plastic relaxation around particles, manages to capture the experimental data in a very satisfying manner using only a total of three tunable parameters. It is believed that the proposed model can offer an alternative to the much more commonly used work hardening models based on the internal variable approach.

- Additive Manufacturing (AM) is becoming an important technology for manufacturing of metallic materials. Laser-Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF), Electron beam-Powder Bed Fusion (E-PBF) and Directed Energy Deposition (DED) have attracted significant interest from both the scientific community and the industry since these technologies offer great manufacturing opportunities for niche applications and complex geometries. Understanding the physics behind the complex and dynamic phenomena occurring during these processes is essential for overcoming the barriers that constrain the metal AM development. Insitu synchrotron X-ray characterization is suitable for investigating the microstructure evolution during processing and provides new profound insights. Here, we provide an overview of the research on metal PBF and DED using in-situ synchrotron X-ray imaging, diffraction and small-angle scattering, highlighting the state of the art, the instrumentation, the challenges and the gaps in knowledge that need to be filled. We aim at presenting a scientific roadmap for in-situ synchrotron analysis of metal PBF and DED where future challenges in instrumentation such as the development of experimental stations, sample environments and detectors as well as the need for further application oriented research are included.

Direct Observation that Bainite can Grow Below M-S
- 2012

- In situ simultaneous synchrotron X-ray diffraction and laser scanning confocal microscopy have confirmed that bainite in steels can grow below the martensite start temperature. This observation suggests that the formation curves for bainite in time-temperature-transformation diagrams should be extended below the martensite start temperature. Furthermore, the implication of this observation on the growth mechanism of bainitic ferrite is discussed.
