NEUP CINR-24-31635: Understanding PM-HIP Interparticle Evolution and its Influence on Fracture Toughness in Alumina-Forming Steels

This project aims to understand how interparticle evolution during hot isostatic pressing (HIP) influences fracture toughness of Al-bearing steels. The team will use a series of interrupted HIP experiments with phase field models to understand the formation mechanisms of interparticle defects during HIP of alumina-forming austenitic (AFA) stainless steels and FeCrAl steels, and the influence of these defects on fracture behavior.
