Chapter 3. Oxi<strong>de</strong> Dispersion Strengthened Steels<br />

In the hot extru<strong>de</strong>d condition, TEM characterization [6] of the microstructure shows that<br />

it is ma<strong>de</strong> of very fine grains or ‘‘fibres”. Grains are elongated in the extrusion direction<br />

(several microns in longitudinal direction and about 300 nm in thickness), as expected after<br />

such a treatment. In addition, a high number <strong>de</strong>nsity of dislocations, 10 14 -10 15 m -2 , is reported<br />

[6, 41]. Such <strong>de</strong>nsities have the same or<strong>de</strong>r of magnitu<strong>de</strong> as in tempered martensitic ODS<br />

[42].<br />

Different c<strong>la</strong>sses of oxi<strong>de</strong>s are observed [6, 7]: (a) located mainly on the grain boundaries<br />

with sizes from several tens of <strong>nano</strong>metres, (b) spherical <strong>nano</strong><strong>par</strong>ticles (R=1.85 nm and<br />

<strong>de</strong>nsity 8×10 22 m -3 ) homogeneously distributed.<br />

As bigger <strong>par</strong>ticles are mainly located at grain boundaries and have a low number <strong>de</strong>nsity<br />
