- Additional information
- As highlighted in ESRF Spotlight on Science (spotlight277), the multidisciplinary team invented an in-situ method to examine the initiation and growth of welding cracking using synchrotron X-ray. The output is included in well cited review papers (e.g. Wu et al 2017, Engineering Fracture Mechanics, FWCI 5.25) and has appeared in 8 news outlets. The new method provides key kinetic information (nucleation site and growth velocity) of cracking. The work led to the formation of a five-institution consortium on H-embrittlement in Ni-based alloys. Dong was invited to give a keynote at TMS2018 a leading international conference in the field.
