Tungsten-iron alloy was produced by electrodeposition. The electrodeposited alloy (15 at.% W) possesses a two-phase composite microstructure, containing a nanocrystalline phase of distorted BCC structure with a grain size between 50 to 150 nm and an amorph ...
A method of generating an image incorporating a microstructure includes the steps of obtaining an original image, generating a microstructure, and rendering a region or the whole said original image with said microstructure. The operation of generating the ...
Femtosecond laser irradiation has various noticeable effects on fused silica. It can locally increase the index of refraction and modify the material chemical selectivity. Regions that have been exposed to the laser are etched hundred fold faster than unex ...
The mechanical properties of high volume fraction SiC-particle reinforced Al-based metal matrix composites (MMCs) produced by means of pressurized liquid metal infiltration (squeeze casting) are shown to be triggered by matrix alloying and heat treatment p ...
In-situ materials tests have the advantage to link visual and sensor based information during a dynamic experiment. In this thesis, a compact indenter-scratch test device has been built at EPFL-LSRO and installed inside a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) ...
Finite element formulations are commonly used to predict stress, strain and temperature fields in metal forming. As these models have now gained robustness, an increasing attention is placed on the metallurgical evolutions associated with the thermal and m ...
A simple technique for microstructuring ceramic thin films by micromachining substrates using standard photolithographic techniques was investigated. The ceramic perovskite is used to illustrate the method because of its importance for the fabrication of e ...
A systematic approach to understanding the role of microstructure on the mechanical response of complex multiphase materials is presented based on the "microstructure reconstruction" method of Yeong and Torquato. Low-order statistical correlation functions ...
The effect of the bulk microstructure (grain size distribution, grain boundary composition on the oxygen transport properties of La0.5Sr0.5FeO3membranes was investigated. For this purpose, samples with different microstruct ...
A study of the microstructure developing at the surface of glass fibers in a poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc)/polyester blend is presented. Three different experimental methods are used: a technique based on the Wilhelmy method to measure the wettability of the ...
