Measurement of Solute Concentrations in the Three Phases of a Third Generation Advanced High Strength Steel Using Atom Probe Tomography
EMSL Project ID
48214
Abstract
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is currently funding a four-year effort on the development of an Integrated Computational Engineering Model (ICME) of Third Generation Advanced High Strength Steels. Two modeling components of this effort, viz., atomistic-scale and crystal plasticity, are in need of experimentally-measured solute concentrations/distributions in each of the three phases of a prototype Gen 3 steel. These phases are ferrite, martensite and austenite. The approach currently available to provide this critical data is atom probe tomography (APT) and hence this proposal is a request to perform measurements of solute content in each of these phases in a steel material that will be provided by the PI L.G. Hector, Jr. Prof. Dallas Trinkle will also be a PI since the measurements with the APT will be used in his atomistic-scale calculations that are a part of the DOE effort.
