Secondary precipitation within the cementite phase of reactor pressure vessel steels

Solute clustering is known to play a significant role in the embrittlement of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels. In this study, previously unobserved manganese-, nickel-, and silicon-rich precipitates in the cementite phase of a thermally aged, low copper RPV steel are characterised at the atomic...
