"*Bulk Materials*: Obtain Stellite 1 in both cast and Hot Isostatically Pressed (HIPed) forms. It is essential to have an accurate chemical composition analysis for both. These as-received cast and HIPed states will serve as your primary microstructural references for the bulk material.\n",

"### Notes for Vi on why the XRD on gas atomized powder is good\n",
"\n",
"In order to make the samples, Deloro Stellite made gas-atomized powders that were then blended to make the blended samples, in addition to the regular HIPed samples. These gas-atomized powders undergo extremely high cooling rates that are extremely fine-grained - in short, they will have extremely high dislocation density that will greatly increase the microstrain.\n",
"\n",
"What's quite cool is that the HIPed samples are essentially the same powders but raised to 1200C and then slowly cooled down. While the carbides are the likely the same size (as noticed by Heathcock in similar work), the matrix is likely to be as relaxed as possible. Any deformation due to the carbides will be the same in the gas-atomized powders anyway.\n",
"\n",
"What's even cooler is that I can see the relaxed state in the XRD plots, as the peaks are quite sharp. I should really do an estimation of grain size first, haha. \n",
"\n",
"Perhaps, we could do what the guiys in did:File material away from the solid cast speciments. Anneal the filed chips under vacuum at 1210 C for 30 minutes and then quench the water to \"freeze\" the dislocation-free fcc-metal matrix without the precipitation of M7C3 carbides. We could ball mill these? Or perhaps, we just take the gas-atomized powder, anneal it and quench that instead. \n",
"\n",
"UPDATE! Had a quick conversation with RA, and it does seem like if they've done XRD on one powder, they've proabably done it on all of them. Even then, he still has the powders! So it's doable :D"

"## Determining stacking fault probability with Popa\n",
"\n",
"Stacking faults cause the (200) peak in cobalt to shift its position, while the (111) peak remains fixed. Thus, by comparing the difference between (200) - (111) on a fault-free (FF) sample and a fault-dense (FD) sample, we can measure the exact probability or amount of stacking faults.\n",
"\n",
"Stacking fault probability gives a measure of how many {111} planes have stacking fault, which is critical for understanding mechanical behavior like work hardening, twinning, and phase transformation.\n",
