A seminar organised by Professor Annika Borgenstam of KTH Royal Institute of Technology, given by Harry Bhadeshia.
Abstract: Steels are now expected to operate in hostile conditions that would not be tolerated by any other material. And to cap it all, they must behave in a reliable manner with predictable end of life. My focus in this talk will be on damage mechanisms in components such as bearings, rails and shafts made from incredibly strong steels subjected to complex combinations of stresses. The aim is to inspire alloy design based on structure control and resistance to ingress by rogue elements.
