Deformation behaviour and microstructure of nanocrystalline electrodeposited and high pressure torsioned nickel
Philippe Spätig, Robin Schäublin, Florian Dalla Torre
Microstructural analysis and mechanical testing have been performed on two types of nanocrystalline (NC) Ni samples and compared to coarse-grained (CG) Ni. The NC electrodeposited (ED) Ni is characterized by a mean grain size of 21 nm, a narrow grain size ...
2005Replicated aluminium foam
This thesis explores the processing and properties of microcellular aluminium-based materials produced by replication. It includes the development of a pressure infiltration process for net-shape component production, structural characterization of the foa ...
EPFL2005Glasslike arrest in spinodal decomposition as a route to colloidal gelation
Colloid-polymer mixtures can undergo spinodal decomposition into colloid-rich and colloid-poor regions. Gelation results when interconnected colloid-rich regions solidify. We show that this occurs when these regions undergo a glass transition, leading to d ...
2005Mechanical properties and microstructure of a high carbon steel
This work is focussed on a high carbon tool steel used for the production of files. The mechanical properties of the files depend on a hardening thermal treatment that produces a martensitic structure. Thus, the motivation for this work is technological: w ...
EPFL2004High-Pressure Stability Of Carbonates - Quenching Of Calcite-Ii, High-Pressure Polymorph Of Caco3
We present the results of a series of experiments on calcite I at around 45 GPa and temperatures between 300 and 2000 K, in a YAG-laser-heated diamond-anvil cell. Quenched samples have been examined by transmission electron microscopy. In the unheated part ...
1993Structure And Room-Temperature Deformation Of Alumina Fiber-Reinforced Aluminum
Plastic deformation under uniaxial longitudinal tension and compression is investigated for pure aluminum reinforced with a high volume fraction of parallel alumina fibers. The matrix sub-structure is also examined in transmission electron microscopy. The ...
