Chapter 4. Nitri<strong>de</strong> Dispersion Strengthened Steels<br />

Figure 4.15. Composition of <strong>nano</strong><strong>par</strong>ticles in MA NDS steel after hot extrusion<br />

(800°C) as a function of their sizes. Only Ti, N, Al, O and Fe, Cr (at.%) are shown. For<br />

Figure 4.16. Concentration profile drawn through Ti-N rich <strong>par</strong>ticle in MA NDS<br />

pow<strong>de</strong>r (consolidated by hot extrusion). (a) Profile has been drawn along evaporation<br />

direction. Ti, N, O species are shown together, Cr and Fe elements are also presented. The<br />

Guinier radius of the <strong>par</strong>ticle is 3.7 nm. (b) Profile showing a reduction of the re<strong>la</strong>tive<br />

atomic <strong>de</strong>nsity insi<strong>de</strong> of <strong>par</strong>ticle. Sampling size is 1.5×1.5×1 nm 3 .<br />

e) Annealing at 850°C/1h<br />

3D reconstruction of a small volume containing <strong>nano</strong><strong>par</strong>ticles in pow<strong>de</strong>rs annealed at<br />

850°C during 1h is shown on Figure 4.17 (a, b). Two distinct families of <strong>nano</strong><strong>par</strong>ticles are<br />

observed in this analyse: Ti-N-rich and Ti-Al-O rich <strong>par</strong>ticles. It must be mentioned that<br />
