Mechanistic modeling of strengthening and stress corrosion cracking in LPBF SS 316L-AL2O3 metal matrix nanocomposites
A microstructure-resolved electro-chemo-mechanical framework is developed to investigate strengthening and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) 316L stainless steel reinforced with Al2O3 ceramic nanoparticles. The framework, implemented in the MOOSE finite element platform, couples three ph...
