Five different grain sizes are produced in 0.17 wt% carbon steel using varying rates of cooling from austenitization temperatures. Controlled furnace cooling from 1100 °C and 950 °C produces coarse ferrite grains of 40 µm and 32 µm diameter, respectively, ...
Grain boundaries (GBs) play an important role for the mechanical properties of metals. In addition to dislocation motion inside the grains, some metal alloys deform along the GBs at high temperatures. GBs can also be the cause of a brittle behaviour of som ...
The competition between dislocation emission and cleavage at a crack tip plays an important role in governing the intrinsic fracture behavior of crystalline materials. This competition is not well understood in magnesium, which has many different combinati ...
The remarkable microstructural stability of high chromium steels prepared by powder metallurgy and strengthened by dispersion of nanometric yttrium oxides in cyclic loading at high temperatures is reported. Contrary to the continuous cyclic softening and p ...
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endosseous implant having a modified surface for fixation of an artificial tooth in dentistry and of a hearing aid to replace or reinforce a bone with damage or disease in orthopedic surgery.SOLUTION: An endosseous impla ...
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 ...
The mechanism of the capacity degradation of LaNi5-based alloy electrodes was investigated with a special focus on the influence of the alloy and surface composition, as well as the unique structure obtained by gas atomisation. The electrochemical properti ...
The wetting of angular alumina particle preforms by Cu-Sn alloys is investigated by means of pressure infiltration experiments conducted at 1150 A degrees C, using a system enabling dynamic and precise measurements of the metal volume injected into the pre ...
W-2Y, W-1Y(2)O(3) and W-2Y(2)O(3) materials have been fabricated using two different powder metallurgy methods. While W-2Y and W-1Y(2)O(3) have been fabricated using mechanical alloying and hot isostatic pressing (Hipping), W-2Y(2)O(3) has been fabricated ...
The physical basis and a mathematical formulation of a softening model nicknamed Alsoft, accounting for the combined effect of recovery and recrystallization during annealing of heavily deformed aluminium alloys have been presented. The prediction power of ...
