Automated Burgers Vector Identification for Individual Dislocations in Bulk Crystals

Abderrahmane Benhadjira, Carsten Detlefs, Vincent Favre-Nicolin +4

Weak-beam imaging in dark-field X-ray microscopy (DFXM) can resolve individual dislocations in bulk crystals, but assigning Burgers vectors from the resulting contrast typically re…

Operando observation of strain relaxation in fatigued pearlitic steel

Louis Lesage, Johan Ahlström, Yubin Zhang +1

Pearlitic steels are the material of choice for railway wheels and rails, where their lamellar ferrite-cementite structure balances cost, strength, and wear resistance. However, in…
