Generic Structure Characterization

The aim is to further build competence and to establish different methodologies using e.g. electron microscopy, atom probe tomography, synchrotron X-rays and neutrons for the characterization of bulk materials, in particular steels and cemented carbides.

Neutrons and synchrotron X-rays are extremely powerful for the characterization of materials microstructure. However, there are a number of challenges related to the characterization of the industrial materials of interest within Hero-m 2i.

  • Quantitative bulk analysis of nanostructures formed due to e.g. phase separation or precipitation
  • 3D analysis of individual bulk grains and sub grains within polycrystalline aggregates
  • In-situ analysis of rapid phase transformations
  • Quantitative analysis of deformation characteristics of fcc metals, i.e. stacking-fault energy.
