Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies have enabled the manufacturing of parts with complex geometries that were previously not feasible with conventional manufacturing. Unfortunately, many commercial engineering alloys (with the exception of alloy ...
IMPACT STATEMENT Experiments and theory are highlighting chemical ordering in high-entropy alloys (HEAs) as important for mechanical properties but the high strength in CoCrFeNiPd is predicted here to be achievable in the random alloy due to the large misf ...
The body centered cubic (BCC) high entropy alloys (HEAs) MoNbTaW and MoNbTaVW show exceptional strength retention up to 1900K. The mechanistic origin of the retained strength is unknown yet is crucial for finding the best alloys across the immense space of ...
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 ...
As cast FeCrCuMnNi high entropy alloys were heat treated at different temperatures and times. Structure and mechanical properties of the heat treated alloy were studied using X-Ray diffraction, tensile test, hardness test and scanning electron microscopy. ...
The 2xxx series aluminium alloys, which contain Cu as the main addition element, are widely used in the aerospace industry for their high specific strength. The main strengthening contribution in these alloys comes from the formation of theta' precipitates ...
Pure Mg has low ductility due to a transition of < c+a > pyramidal dislocations to a sessile basal-oriented structure. Dilute alloying generally improves ductility. Enhancement of pyramidal cross-slip from the lower-energy pyramidal II plane to the higher- ...
A multi-phase Ti-6Al-4V prepared by electron beam melting and thermal post treatments has been shown to exhibit increased strength and ductility over standard wrought or hot isostatic pressed Ti-6-Al-4V. The mechanical improvements are due to a prolonged, ...
An investigation was conducted to systematically explore the relationships among microstructure evolution, continuous cooling transformation kinetics, and mechanical properties development in a low-carbon reheated weld metal (0.052C-1.5Mn-0.3Si-0.7Cr-0.8Mo ...
The deformation-induced martensitic transformation observed in specific materials can enhance their mechanical properties or result in functional properties. For example, the transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) effect results in a good combination of ...
