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…
Multiscale modelling in nuclear ferritic steels: from nano-sized defects to embrittlement
N. Castin, G. Bonny, M. J. Konstantinović +12
Radiation-induced embrittlement of nuclear steels is one of the main limiting factors for safe long-term operation of nuclear power plants. In support of accurate and safe reactor…
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…
Smart energy models for atomistic simulations using a DFT-driven multifidelity approach
Luca Messina, Alessio Quaglino, Alexandra Goryaeva +5
The reliability of atomistic simulations depends on the quality of the underlying energy models providing the source of physical information, for instance for the calculation of mi…
