This work is motivated by an industrial interest in gaining a better understanding of the phase transformations that govern the mechanical properties of 18-carat gold alloys commonly used in jewelry applications and luxury watchmaking. These alloys fall in ...
The improvement of the mechanical properties of carbon nanotube reinforced polycrystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia (CNT-YSZ) was questionable in earlier investigations due to several difficulties for processing of these composites. In the present articl ...
This thesis investigates nine new compositions of the ternary Au-Cu-Pt system, containing from 75 to 78 wt% Au with 0 to 15 wt% Pt, by means of in-situ synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, transmission electron micros ...
Polycrystalline materials with crystallite diameters below hundred nanometer exhibit extraordinary strength which goes along with a decrease in ductility. In order to tailor tough materials, which combine strength and ductility, the underlying deformation ...
We present molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the shear-coupled migration (SCM) behaviour of symmetrical tilt boundaries perturbed by the presence of nano-cracks or nano-precipitates lying on the boundary plane. The simulations have been performed for ...
High temperature mechanical properties of zirconia reinforced with carbon-nanotubes (CNTs) are studied by mechanical spectroscopy. CNTs limit zirconia grain-boundary sliding (GBS) and consequently deformation. Concurrent grain-growth and plastic deformatio ...
In metal matrix composites, thermal stresses are relaxed by either interface debonding, crack propagation or dislocation motion. The present paper shows that in the case of a magnesium matrix, interface thermal stresses are relaxed by dislocation motion in ...
Two-step sintering of nanocrystalline zirconia powder stabilized with 8 mol% yttria resulted in remarkable enhancement of the electrical conductivity and significant suppression of the accelerated grain growth. The electrical conductivity of the nearly ful ...
According to various studies, Grain Boundary Engineering (GBE) is likely to enhance mechanical properties of polycrystalline materials. The present investigation highlights some relationships between thermomechanical process (TMP) parameters of a commercia ...
Several magnesium matrix composites were investigated by means of mechanical spectroscopy. A modulus anomaly has been observed in the composites reinforced with fibers while the phenomenon does not occur with particles. This effect is attributed to bonding ...
