Multi-Phase-Field Simulation of Solute-Dislocation-Point Defect
Introduction Duplex stainless steels (such as Fe-Cr alloys) are key candidate materials for nuclear reactor structural applications. However, under high-energy particle irradiation, defects such as dislocations and vacancies form within the material, leading to irradiation hardening, fatigue, and other issues that significantly impact material lifespan. The formation and evolution of Cr-enriched nanoprecipitates (α′ phase) are … Read more
