The paper is a review of original results, which were obtained by mechanical spectroscopy in the development of industrial materials, such as grey cast iron (damping capacity), aluminum alloys (recrystallization), nickel alloys (grain boundary embrittlemen ...

We demonstrate experimentally that a part-per-million addition of Sn solutes in Al-Mg-Si alloys can inhibit natural aging and enhance artificial aging. The mechanism controlling the aging is argued to be vacancy diffusion, with solutes trapping vacancies a ...
This study concerns the evolution of the thermomechanical properties of new high-performance materials. In particular, we focus on the relationship between the microstructure and the mechanical properties of a superalloy based on Co-Ni-Cr. Superalloys are ...
In the fabrication of heat treatable aluminium parts, solutionising and quenching are key steps in order to obtain the required mechanical characteristics. Fast quenching is necessary to avoid coarse precipitation as this one reduces the mechanical propert ...
Motivated by an increased focus on recycling of aluminium alloys, for which elements like Mn, Fe and Si tend to increase, a comprehensive investigation of the softening behavior during annealing after cold rolling of Al-Mn-Fe-Si alloys has been carried out ...
Investigation of the microstructural evolution of Al-Mn-Fe-Si alloys during annealing after cold rolling has been carried out. The effect of microchemistry state in terms of Mn in solid solution, constituents, size and volume fraction of dispersoids, intro ...
In the current trend toward thicker aluminium plates, a major concern is the stress build-up during quenching which causes distortions during machining. Indeed, cooling rates are not high enough, especially at the core of such thick plates, to prevent any ...
Due to the high homologous temperature and fast cooling rates, the microstructures of SnAgCu (SAC) solders are in a meta-stable state in most applications, which is the cause of significant microstructural evolution and continuous variation in the mechanic ...
Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) ferritic/martensitic (F/M) steels are promising materials for high temperature applications. The hardening limits from room temperature to 1000 degrees C of one of such steel, ODS EUROFER97, together with the impact of t ...
The atomistic mechanisms of deformation in multicomponent random alloys are challenging to model because of their extensive structural and compositional disorder. For embedded-atom-method interatomic potentials, a formal averaging procedure can generate an ...
