Solution-reprecipitation during liquid phase sintering can lead to gravity-aligned gradients in the amount of refractory phase as a result of the interaction between gravitational forces and capillary forces. We provide an analysis of this mechanism for gr ...
The dihedral angle shown by intergranular lead inclusions in Cu-1 wt.% Pb alloys is measured varying the purity of the metal and the temperature. Several measurement methods are used and compared, namely classical two-dimensional (2D) methods based on meta ...

The influence of applied stress on the equilibrium shape of a liquid intergranular inclusion is derived to show that (i) results differ significantly from those for a void, and (ii) this difference explains the experimental data if liquid inclusions behave ...

Mechanisms responsible for the embrittlement of leaded "free-machining" copper alloys at intermediate temperatures (i.e. around 400 °C) are examined using a combination of microstructural and mechanical characterization. Tensile tests are conducted on pure ...
