1. Creep Behaviour of Titanium Aluminides and its Relation to Phase Distributions and Dislocation Structures
Abstract : The need for more efficient gas turbines with lowered fuel consumption and thereby lowered emission has recently lead to increased interest in low-density, .gamma.-based TiAl intermetallic alloys as a replacement of e.g. READ MORE

2. Development of a new generation of creep resistant 12% chromium steels: Microstructure of Z-phase strengthened steels
Abstract : Fossil-fuel fired steam power plants provide more than 60% of the electricity generated worldwide, and account for about one third of the global CO2 emissions. Increasing the steam temperature and pressure leads to a higher thermal efficiency of the power plants and thus lower emissions. READ MORE

3. High Resolution Microanalysis of Creep Resistant 9-12% Chromium Steels
Abstract : This thesis deals with detailed studies of the microstructure of 9-12% chromium steels. Three alloys with improved creep resistance have been studied in different stages of heat treatment and after creep testing. Two of them were manufactured using PM/HIP and were of the type 10.

4. Development of a new generation of 12% Cr steels: Z-phase strengthened steels
Abstract : Fossil-fuel fired steam power plants provide more than 60% of the electricity generated worldwide, and account for about one third of the global CO2 emissions. The thermal efficiency of the steam power plants is limited by the maximum allowed steam temperature and pressure, which in turn are determined by the long-term corrosion and creep resistance of economically viable materials.

5. Silicon Carbide Reinforced Alumina and Mullite Ceramics
Abstract : The aim of this work was to develop homogeneous ceramic nanocomposite materials with good thermal and structural stability as well as good mechanical properties. The development of microstructure was related to the material properties. READ MORE
