The dominant mechanisms for the formation of solute-rich clusters in low-Cu steels under irradiation
N. Castin, G. Bonny, A. Bakaev +6
The formation of nano-sized, coherent, solute-rich clusters (NSRC) is known to be an important factor causing the degradation of the macroscopic properties of steels under irradiat…

The impact of alloying elements on the precipitation stability and kinetics in iron based alloys: An atomistic study
Giovanni Bonny, Christophe Domain, Nicolas Castin +2
Iron based industrial steels typically contain a large number of alloying elements, even so-called low alloyed steels. Under irradiation, these alloying elements form clusters that…

How precisely are solute clusters in RPV steels characterized by atom probe experiments?
N. Castin, P. Klups, M. Konstantinovic +4
Atom probe tomography (APT) is a powerful microscopy technique to characterize nano-sized clusters of the alloying elements in the bulk of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels. The…
