Extraction of Rare Earth Metals: The New Thermodynamic Considerations Toward Process Hydrometallurgy

Christian Ludwig, Rudolf Paul Wilhelm Jozef Struis, Andrea Testino, Ajay Bhagwan Patil

Successful management of secondary waste resources is essential for the viable circular economy. E-waste could serve as the potential urban mining source for the alternative supply chain of critical metals such as rare earth elements (REEs). The hydrometal ...

'Green' Cr(III)-based electrodeposition of stainless steel-like FeCrNi: synthesis, mechanisms, material properties of films and micro-nanocomponents for bio-medical applications

Enrico Bertero

The electrodeposition (ED) of stainless steel (SS) -like FeCrNi alloys for miniaturised devices is appealing for bio-medicine as it would allow combining excellent material properties (e.g. corrosion resistance, hardness, bio-compatibility) at low-cost. Ho ...

Impact of in situ nanomechanics on physical metallurgy

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Johann Michler, Efthymios Polatidis

The mechanical response of modern alloys results from a complex interplay between existing microstructure and its evolution with time under stress. To unravel these processes, in situ approaches intrinsically have a critical advantage to explore the basic ...

In situ X-ray Diffraction during Casting: Study of Hot Tearing in Al-Zn alloys

Jean-Marie Drezet, Güven Kurtuldu, Bastien Gilbert Pierre Mireux

During solidification of metallic alloys, coalescence corresponds to the formation of solid bridges between grains when both solid and liquid phases are percolated. As such, it represents a key transition with respect to the mechanical behaviour of solidif ...

Effects of Ni additions, trace elements and solidification kinetics on microstructure formation in Sn-0.7Cu solder

Michel Rappaz, Tina Ventura

Five ternary Sn-0.7Cu-xNi alloys with nickel contents in the range 0-1000 ppm have been directionally solidified at different growth rates. The competition between primary tetragonal Sn cells/dendrites, eutectic and primary Cu6Sn5 is interpreted with phase ...
