  2. 21. Plastic Deformation of Duplex Stainless Steel

    Author : Magnus Nyström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; stainless steel; microstructure; plastic zones; impact toughness; anisotropy; prestraining; annealing; fractography; fatigue;

    Abstract : Duplex austenitic/ferritic stainless steels are increasingly used as an alternative to conventional austenitic grades. Main advantages of the duplex grades are good resistance to corrosion cracking and corrosion fatigue in environments that contain chloride. READ MORE

  4. 22. Development of a new generation of creep resistant 12% chromium steels: Microstructure of Z-phase strengthened steels

    Author : Masoud Rashidi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; phase transformation; CrNbN; impact toughness; Creep; CrTaN; Laves-phase; atom probe tomography; precipitation hardening; M2N; MX; transmission electron microscopy; coarsening;

    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

  5. 23. Strength Properties of Paper produced from Softwood Kraft Pulp : Pulp Mixture, Reinforcement and Sheet Stratification

    Author : Hanna Karlsson; Luciano Beghello; Lars Nilsson; Lennart Stolpe; Öyvind Gregersen; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; paper strength; tensile strength; tearing resistance; folding endurance; fracture toughness; handsheet former; stratify; multilayer; multiply; reinforcement; refining; beating; abaca; glass fibre; polyester; lyocell; softwood; bond strength; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : For paper producers, an understanding of the development of strength properties in the paper is of uttermost importance. Strong papers are important operators both in the traditional paper industry as well as in new fields of application, such as fibre-based packaging, furniture and light-weight building material.

  6. 24. Design and fabrication of hidden hinge monocrystalline silicon micromirrors for maskless lithography

    Author : Martin Bring; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; isotropic etching; LOCOS; micromirror; maskless lithography; chevron notch; low temperature transfer bonding; fracture toughness;

    Abstract : Micromirror-based maskless lithography has recently received attention as an attractive candidate to tackle challenges associated with the continued de-vice scaling in the semiconductor industry. The micromirrors work by diffrac-tion and the requirements on planarity are very tough, e.g. peak-to-valley dif-ferences of a few nanometers. READ MORE

  7. 25. Delayed Hydride Cracking in Irradiated Zircaloy

    Author : Pål Efsing; Kjell Pettersson; Christopher Coleman; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydrides; hydrogen; embrittlement; delayed cracking; fracture toughness; fracture resistance; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Under some circumstances nuclear fuel cladding tubes made from zirconium based alloys may develop long axial cracks. The formation of these cracks is mainly thought to be connected with the oxiditian and hydriding of the cladding which takes plage after the the formation of a small primary defect. READ MORE
