Nanocrystalline (NC) metals have attracted widespread interest in materials science due to their high strength compared to coarse-grained counterparts. It is well know that during uniaxial deformation, the stress-strain behaviour exhibits an extraordinary ...
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 ...
Small amounts of anion impurities (e.g. Cl), which are incorporated during the synthesis of ceramic powders, can affect the properties and microstructure of the final sintered ceramic. The effect of anion impurities is a little studied and poorly understoo ...
Transition element dopants (e.g., Y, La) are commonly used as sintering aids in polycrystalline alumina ceramics, which segregate to the grain boundaries and control the grain-boundary mobility. However, due to the extremely thin (
Transparent alumina is often processed with sintering additives such as, Y, La, and Mg, in order to limit its grain growth at high sintering temperatures. Usually, these additives segregate to the grain boundaries due to their larger cationic size than Al ...
In this paper, the results of a 2D full field grain growth model are compared with several 2D mean field grain growth models (Burke and Turbull model and Hillert/Abbruzzese model), using simplified assumptions of isotropic grain boundary energy and mobilit ...
Silicon nitride based ceramics (SiAlONs); tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia (3Y‐TZP); alumina and their composites reinforced with different amount of multi‐ walled carbon‐nanotubes (CNTs) have been processed by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). High tempera ...
Grain-boundary character distributions (GBCDs) were determined for spark plasma sintered Y- and La-doped aluminas prepared at temperatures between 1450 degrees C and 1600 degrees C. La doping leads to grain boundaries that adopt (0001) orientations 3.7 tim ...
Transparent polycrystalline alumina has many possible promising areas of application from jewelry and the watch industry to wave guides, energy economical lamp envelopes, and optical windows. Ultrahigh density, submicron sized grains and/or oriented micros ...
The microstructure stability during δ sub-solvus annealing in Inconel 718 was investigated, focusing on the conditions that may lead to the development of very large grains (about 100 μm) in a recrystallized fine grained matrix (4 to 5 μm) despite the pres ...
