Akhlaghi, M.; Meka, S. R.; Jägle, E. A.; Kurz, S.; Bischoff, E.; Mittemeijer, E. J.: Formation Mechanisms of Alloying Element Nitrides in Recrystallized and Deformed Ferritic Fe–Cr–Al Alloy. Metallurgical and Materials Transactions a-Physical Metallurgy and Materials Science 47 (9), pp. 4578 - 4593 (2016)
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.
