Single crystal deformation unveiling the characteristics of crystal glide and the role of defect propagation herein has been a matter of intense research more than 60 years ago. A manifold of different mechanical testing methods and crystal qualities were ...
Solute drag in solute-strengthened alloys, caused by diffusion of solute atoms around moving dislocations, controls the stress at deformation rates and temperatures useful for plastic forming processes. In the technologically important Al-Mg alloys, the so ...
In this study, we produced four composite materials with Al-based matrix reinforced by Al-Cu-Fe particles initially of the quasicrystalline (QC) phase. The processing route was a gas-pressure infiltration of QC particle preforms by molten commercial Al and ...
Under certain thermal conditions (G approximate to 1 x 10(4) K/m, v(s) approximate to 1 x 10(-3) m/s), < 1 1 0 > twinned dendrites appear in aluminum alloys and can overgrow regular columnar dendrites, provided that some convection is also present in the m ...
In order to deeply understand the high temperature deformation behaviors of Cu-0.23%Al2O3 (volume fraction) alloy, the changes of flow stress and microstructure for this alloy after deformation at high temperatures were investigated by using the Gleeble-15 ...
In this paper, the behaviour of the tantalum subjected to a complex range of thermomechanical solicitations is studied and modelled. The objective of this work is the prediction of microstructure evolution of a tantalum part that is cold flow-formed, then ...
The aim of this paper is to report the very first in situ observations of the deformation behaviour of an Al-Cu alloy in the semisolid state by using ultrafast, high-resolution X-ray microtomography. It is shown that this deformation is non-homogeneous and ...
In spite of frequent observations, and of sonic important consequences for industrial applications, the glide motion of dislocations in non-octahedral planes of fcc metals and alloys remains rather poorly known, and not sufficiently considered for the anal ...
This thesis reports on the successful use of low-energy metal ion implantation to fabricate compliant electrodes for miniaturized dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs, also known as artificial muscles). DEAs are elastomeric actuators capable of large defor ...
The origin of intragranular variations of the crystallographic orientation in hot-dip Al-Zn-Si coatings is discussed based on new experimental results and modelling. The solidification microstructure in as-received 55Al-43.4Zn-l.6Si (in wt.%) coatings depo ...
