Additional information
The work presents mechanistic aspects of pit-to-crack transitions in turbine disc steels. These results refuted the broadly accepted concept that stress localization dominates crack initiation. Data from this work has been instrumental in adapting the existing life prediction models used across many industries. Publication of this work resulted in invited talks at Idaho National Lab (USA), Japan Materials Testing Reactor Facility (Japan) and Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (India). The work also led to the award of a Japanese Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) Foreign Researcher Award and an EPSRC First Grant (EP/H025286/1).
