CURRENT RESEARCH
As a Researcher for CNRS, I am working on the characterization of nano particles in Fe-Cu alloys. With goal to develop a model that predicts the different stages and kinetics of the nanoparticles and resulting strengthening in the material. Important influence of the alloying elements as well as of the processing parameters on the kinetics of evolution, on the nature (crystallography, chemical composition, and coherency) and on the distribution of the particles is in particular to be incorporated in the model.
Metallurgical investigations are being carried out using a number of direct and indirect methods of characterization, among which TAP, TEM, SAXS, SANS and FEG-STEM observations are prominent ones, resistivity and dilatometry measurements, and some mechanical tests are the other important methods employed. Above picture is one of the clusters during early aging in binary Fe-Cu alloy as observed from a reconstructed image of the data obtained from a Tomgraphic Atom Probe experiment. |
