Copper and copper alloys typically experience a sharp loss in ductility at intermediate temperature, induced by grain boundary damage and fracture processes. The susceptibility of the material to intermediate temperature embrittlement is, as a result, stro ...
The precipitation of gamma' phase in a commercial single crystal Ni-based superalloy with different cooling rates has been investigated by atom probe tomography. Numerous irregular interconnected gamma' precipitates in the size range of similar to 30 to 50 ...
The formation of feathery grains during semi-continuous casting of Al-alloys [1, 2] is an interesting problem from both practical and theoretical points of view. These structures are formed by a lamellar sequence of twinned and untwinned regions separated ...
Secondary gamma' precipitation in a commercial single crystal Ni-based superalloy after the 1100 degrees C isothermal aging has been investigated by atom probe tomography. After the isothermal aging for 300 s, 1800 s and 3600 s, a bimodal size distribution ...
A comprehensive modelling approach has been developed for the simulation of microstructure formation during solidification and heat treatment in Ni-base superalloys. The microsegregation taking place during solidification is simulated using the pseudo-fron ...
We investigate the nucleation and growth of two cobalt alloys (CoWB and Pd-CoWP) used to encapsulate copper interconnects. We demonstrate that very uniform deposits are obtained across 300 mm wafers, with accurate thickness control. However, large local th ...
Intermetallic phases formation is one of the phenomena, which when coupled to thermal and mechanical strains leads to the premature wear of aluminium die casting tools made out of steel. This work focuses on two aspects of this wear problem. The first and ...
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 ...
Aluminum zinc alloys constitute an important class of wrought alloys, the so-called 7000 series, and are also widely used as anti-corrosion coatings of steel sheets. They are also interesting from a more fundamental point of view because zinc, a hexagonal ...
A phenomenological modelling approach has been developed for the description of die massive and lamellar microstructures which form in gamma-TiAl alloys at high and moderate cooling rates, respectively. The nucleation of both massive and lamellar gamma is ...
