Effect of post-heat treatment conditions on shape memory property in 4D printed Fe-17Mn-5Si-10Cr-4Ni shape memory alloy

Christian Leinenbach, Irene Ferretto

The influence of post-heat treatment on the microstructure and properties of 4D printed Fe-17Mn-5Si-10Cr-4Ni (wt. %) shape memory alloy (SMA) produced via a laser powder bed fusion process is investigated in this study. It is shown that heat-treatment temp ...

Mechanistic Study on Thermally Induced Lattice Stiffening of ZIF-8

Wendy Lee Queen, Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Pascal Alexander Schouwink, Jian Hao, Mehrdad Asgari, Deepu Joseph Babu, Qi Liu

The flexibility of the ZIF-8 aperture, which inhibits a molecular cutoff of 3.4 angstrom, can be reduced by rapid heat treatment to obtain CO2-selective membranes. However, the early stages of the structural, morphological, and chemical changes responsible ...

Influence of Hf on the heat treatment response of additively manufactured Ni-base superalloy CM247LC

Roland Logé, Christian Leinenbach, Jamasp Jhabvala, Shreyas Sanjay Joglekar, Hossein Ghasemi Tabasi

The influence of Hf on the heat treatment response of a Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) fabricated Ni-base superalloy was investigated. A Hf-free version of CM247LC, CM247LC NHf, and CM247LC (similar to 1.4 wt% Hf) were subjected to identical thermal treat ...

Integrating non-visual effects of light in the automated daylight-responsive control of blinds and electric lighting

Marta Benedetti

The use of daylight in buildings is important because it contributes to energy savings by reducing the use of electric lighting and space heating. It also impacts on biological functions and on well-being. Indeed, light not only allows vision, but has non- ...

Influence of interfacial structural disorder and/or chemical interdiffusion on thermal boundary conductance for Ti/Si and Au/Si couples

Ludger Weber, Maïté Blank

This work aims at experimentally assessing the effect of structural disorder and/or chemical interdiffusion on thermal boundary conductance (TBC) at metal/dielectric interfaces. To this end, the TBC of Au/Si and Ti/Si interfaces was measured by time domain ...
