Kim, Y.-J.; Kim, H.; Kang, M.; Rhee, K.; Shin, S. Y.; Lee, S.: Correlation of microstructure, chip-forming properties, and dynamic torsional properties in free-machining steels. Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A 44 (10), pp. 4613 - 4625 (2013)
Here the focus lies on investigating the temperature dependent deformation of material interfaces down to the individual microstructural length-scales, such as grain/phase boundaries or hetero-interfaces, to understand brittle-ductile transitions in deformation and the role of chemistry or crystallography on it.
In this project, we aim to enhance the mechanical properties of an equiatomic CoCrNi medium-entropy alloy (MEA) by interstitial alloying. Carbon and nitrogen with varying contents have been added into the face-centred cubic structured CoCrNi MEA.
