... substrates. The effects on the transformation temperatures are investigated through the use of temperature dependent optical microscopy and temperature dependent X-ray diffraction. The indentation modulus and hardness, as well as dissipated energy and depth recovery, are obtained through nanoindentation...

... grade stainless steel, and AISI 4140 grade medium-carbon low alloy steel. The volume fraction, number density, and size distribution of pores were quantified using X-ray computed tomography and optical microscopy. Pores formed both at the interface between the adjacent layers and within the bulk...
