Titanium-vanadium carbide in steel


A. R. Waugh

An imaging atom-probe study of a mixed carbide particle in a steel containing titanium and vanadium. Bob wanted to confirm that there is a disturbance in the trajectories of the carbon at the edges of the particle, since the carbon distribution goes beyond the boundaries of the carbide particle. The possibility of such an aberration had been suggested to him by P. Turner.
