Cu-Be alloys provide excellent electrical and mechanical properties, but present serious health hazards during manufacturing. Among alternative alloys, the Cu-Ti system has the highest yield strength; however, Ti cannot be easily solutionized at concentrat ...
The microstructure evolution associated with the cold forming sequence of an Fe-14Cr-1W-0.3Ti-0.3Y2O3 grade ferritic stainless steel strengthened by dispersion of nano oxides (ODS) was investigated. The material, initially hot extruded at 1100 degrees C an ...
Metal additive manufacturing (AM) offers the possibility to rapidly produce complex geometries that are not achievable with conventional manufacturing methods. The two most common technologies, Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) and Direct Metal Deposition (DM ...
This study presents a thermomechanical processing concept which is capable of exploiting the full industrial application potential of recently introduced AlMgZn(Cu) alloys. The beneficial linkage of alloy design and processing allows not only to satisfy th ...
Plastic effects during sheet metal forming can lead to undesirable distortions in formed components. Here, the three-stage work hardening and plastic strain recovery ("springback") in a cold-rolled, alpha-phase commercially pure titanium is examined. Inter ...
Age hardening induced by the formation of (semi)-coherent precipitate phases is crucial for the processing and final properties of the widely used Al-6000 alloys despite the early stages of precipitation are still far from being fully understood. This cruc ...
The recrystallization behavior of an Al-Cu-Mg alloy is investigated in multi-directionally forged over-aged and solution treated alloys, during non-isothermal annealing. Deformation and non-isothermal annealing are performed with a Gleeble 3800 thermo-mech ...
Additive Manufacturing (AM) in whole and especially Selective Laser Melting (SLM) are already making a revolution in the way parts are designed and manufactured with the ability to produce lightweight parts with unprecedented complex geometries which are o ...
Solutionising and quenching are key steps in the fabrication of heat treatable aluminium parts such as AA2618 compressor impellers for turbochargers. Quenching not only dictates the mechanical characteristics of the product but also induces residual stress ...
The quench protection system of the nonplanar coils of the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator was laid out over 15 years ago. At that time, the assessment of the hot-spot temperature by a basic adiabatic model was done using design values for material and operati ...
