Publication of the paper "Analysis of Chemical Changes and Microstructure Characterization during Deformation in Ferritic Stainless Steel"

Dr. Xavier Llovet, responsible of the Electron Microprobe Technology, has published the article “Analysis of Chemical Changes and Microstructure Characterization during Deformation in Ferritic Stainless Steel” at the review Microscopy and Microanalysis.

The abstract of the article:
"Uni- and biaxial tension deformation tests, with different degrees of deformation, have been done on AISI 430 (EN 1.4016) ferritic stainless steel samples, which had both different chemical compositions and had undergone different annealing treatments. The initial and deformed materials were characterized by using electron backscatter diffraction and backscatter electron imaging in a scanning electron microscope together with electron probe microanalysis. The correlation observed among the chemical compositions, annealing treatment, and strain level obtained after deformation is discussed.
