Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will present information regarding the metallurgy, microstructure and performance of equipment manufactured from advanced 9 to 12% Cr steels. These steels are widely used in the design and manufacture of high energy components in power generating plants. Papers which describe aspects of component fabrication and quality assurance, characterization of constituent microstructures, assessment of in-service relevant properties, the design manufacture and performance of welds and root cause evaluation of defects developed in plant are particularly encouraged.
Prof. Dr. Jonathan Parker
