ABSTRACT: Fatigue crack growth (FCG) tests were conducted on a medium-Mn steel annealed at two intercritical annealing temperatures, resulting in different austenite (!) to ferrite (“) phase fractions and different ! (meta-)stabilities. Novel in-situ hydrogen...
ABSTRACT: Fatigue crack growth (FCG) test was done on a pre-cracked single-edge notched tensile (SENT) specimen with oligocrystalline ferritic structure. Innovative in-situ hydrogen (H)- charging by plasma inside an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM)...
ABSTRACT: Hydrogen embrittlement can cause a dramatic deterioration of the mechanical properties of high-strength metallic materials. Despite decades of experimental and modelling studies, the exact underlying mechanisms behind hydrogen embrittlement remain elusive....
J. Saujauddin, T. Niemi, T. Lundquist, B. Niu, M. Cable ABSTRACT: anoprobing has become indispensable for the characterization of FEOL processes and FinFET performance in early process development and HVM yield improvements [1- 3]. When the processes and transistor...
Ronald Vane, Ewa Kosmowska and Michael Cable ABSTRACT: The Evactron remote plasma cleaner was introduced in 1999 for cleaning SEM chambers and stages with air flowing through a hollow cathode RF plasma that produces oxygen radicals for chemical etching. Since the...
