The effect of minute Cr additions on dendritic growth directions in Al-20 wt pct Zn alloy has been investigated. As first evidenced by Gonzales and Rappaz (Metall Mater Trans A 37:2797-2806, 2006) Al-Zn alloys exhibit a Dendrite Orientation Transition (DOT ...
A method for manufacturing an electrical conductor is herein disclosed, said method comprising a) providing a substrate comprising on a surface thereof a solid metal conductive layer or film; b) depositing a liquid metal on said solid layer; c) allowing sa ...
In this work, a level-set based finite element method was used to numerically evaluate the mechanical behavior in a small deformation range of semi-solid materials with different microstructure configurations. For this purpose, a finite element model of th ...
A 3-dimensional phase-field model is implemented to simulate the grain evolution in the final stage of liquid-phase sintering. The model considers a liquid phase and a polycrystalline solid phase. Results for varying ratios of the solid-solid interface ene ...
Hardened cement paste in concrete wastes can be a valuable precursor material for the production of recycled cements. In the reported study, X-ray diffraction data of cementitious materials obtained by thermal processing of hardened pastes were quantitativ ...
Quantum thermal bath (QTB) simulations reproduce statistical nuclear quantum effects via a Langevin equation with a colored random force. Although this approach has proven efficient for a variety of chemical and condensed-matter problems, the QTB, as many ...
The discovery and optimization of phase-change and shape memory alloys remain a tedious and expensive process. Here a simple computational method is proposed to determine the ideal phase- change material for a given alloy composed of three elements. Using ...
An experiment was developed to simulate the interface between liquid high manganese carbon steel and solid ultra-low alloyed steel in a thermal gradient, corresponding to the nugget/sheet interface of resistance spot welds. Despite the large difference in ...
The development of ultrafast time-resolved techniques in the last decades allowed the direct observation of out-of-equilibrium transient states and dynamical processes up to then hidden in many different fields, ranging from chemistry to solid state physic ...
Phase-change memory (PCM) is an emerging non-volatile memory technology that is based on the reversible and rapid phase transition between the amorphous and crystalline phases of certain phase-change materials. The ability to alter the conductance levels i ...
