We investigate by atomic force microscopy (AFM) the surface relief resulting from martensitic tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation induced by low temperature autoclave aging in ceria-stabilized zirconia. AFM appears as a very…
The tetragonal to monoclinic (t-m) phase transformation of zirconia has been the object of extensive investigations of the last twenty years, and is now recognised as being of martensitic nature. However, martensitic transformation has only…
A recent report [S. Deville et al., J. Am. Ceram. Soc., 86(12), 2225 (2003)] has shown the new possibilities offered by atomic force microscopy (AFM) to investigate martensitic transformation induced relief in zirconia. In this paper, we…
The tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation of zirconia has been the subject of extensive studies over the last 20 years [1-4]. The main features of the transformation have been identified and its martensitic nature is now widely…
We demonstrate in this paper that atomic force microscopy can be successfully used to gain further insights into the understanding of transformation toughening in ceria stabilized zirconia. Transformation was induced by stresses accumulated…
Stagnation of grain growth is often attributed to impurity segregation. Yttria-stabilized cubic zirconia does not evidence any segregation-induced slowdown, as its grain growth obeys the parabolic law when the grain size increases by more…
An original thermodynamically consistent large strains-based multiphase phase-field (PF) approach of Ginzburg-Landau type is developed for studying the grain boundary (GB)-induced martensitic transformations (MTs) in polycrystalline…
We study the mechanics of temperature-driven reconstructive martensitic transformations in crystalline materials, within the framework of nonlinear elasticity theory. We focus on the prototypical case of the square-hexagonal transition in…
Titanium and its alloys undergo temperature-driven martensitic phase transformation leading to the development of complex microstructures at mesoscale. Optimizing the mechanical properties of these materials requires an understanding of the…
The high-pressure phase stability of the metastable tetragonal zirconia is still under debate. The transition dynamics of shocked Y2O3 (3 mol%) stabilized tetragonal zirconia ceramics under laser-shock compression has been directly studied…
Zirconium (Zr) is an important engineering material with numerous practical applications. It undergoes martensitic $\alpha$ to $\omega$ phase transformation (PT) at pressures that vary from 0.67 GPa to 17 GPa under different loading…
The summary of the models offered by the author revealing features of the physical mechanisms controlling processes of martensite crystal formation is resulted. The rapid growth of a cooling martensite crystal is considered as a…
The martensitic transformation is a fundamental physical phenomenon at the origin of important industrial applications. However, the underlying microscopic mechanism, which is of critical importance to explain the outstanding mechanical…
We have constructed a complete hydrodynamic theory of nucleation and growth in a one--dimensional version of an elastic shear martensitic transformation with open boundary conditions where we have accounted for interfacial energies with…
The low temperature autoclave aging behavior of zirconia toughened alumina composites processed by a classical powder mixing processing route was analyzed using atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy and X-Ray…
The aging behavior of 3-mol%-yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (3Y-TZP) ceramics sintered in air and in reducing conditions was investigated at 140{\deg}C in water vapor. It was observed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) that 3Y-TZP samples…
Yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (3Y-TZP) with different microstructures were elaborated. The isothermal tetragonal to monoclinic transformation was investigated at 134 {\deg}C in steam by X-ray diffraction, Atomic Force…
The long-term performance of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) based energy and biomedical devices is compromised by low-temperature degradation (LTD). This study presents a novel integration of machine learning-guided hydrothermal aging…
When a crystalline solid such as iron is cooled across a structural transition, its final microstructure depends sensitively on the cooling rate. For instance, an adiabatic cooling across the transition results in an equilibrium `ferrite',…
This book is the first monograph in the scientific literature, dedicated to the FCC-BCC transformation in iron-based alloys, in which the dynamical approach is used for the explanation of the martensite growth stage. The rapid growth of a…
