Microstructure-Dependent Particulate Populations in ODS Steels Revealed by Single-Particle ICP-TOF-MS
In this work, we evaluated the ability of single-particle inductively coupled plasma time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SP-ICP-TOF-MS) to characterize particulates generated from 300 series stainless steels and oxide dispersion–strengthened (ODS) steels. Particulates were produced using two different rotary tools (cutting disk and grinding bit) to assess the influence of pa…

Mechanistic insights into low-temperature oxidation of carbon fibers: Influence of hydrogen defects and crystallite size
Although oxidation mechanisms have been exhaustively studied for graphite, similar analyses of carbon fibers are comparatively sparse. Most prior work has focused on quantifying weight loss or assessing protective surface coatings designed to slow oxidation. The use of optical spectroscopic techniques for oxidation analyses is comparatively unexplored, but such techniques…
