Surface segregation in high-entropy alloys from alchemical machine learning

Michele Ceriotti, Guillaume André Jean Fraux, Arslan Mazitov, Sandip De, Nataliya Lopanitsyna

High-entropy alloys (HEAs), containing several metallic elements in near-equimolar proportions, have long been of interest for their unique mechanical properties. More recently, they have emerged as a promising platform for the development of novel heterog ...

Modeling friction and wear using an adaptive discrete-continuum coupling

Manon Eugénie Voisin--Leprince

When two objects slide against each other, wear and friction occur at their interface. The accumulation of wear forms what is commonly referred to as a ``third-body''. Understanding third-body evolution has significant applications in industry, where contr ...

Liquid metal infiltration of silicon based alloys into porous carbonaceous materials Part-III: Experimental verification of conversion products and infiltration depth by infiltration of Si-Zr alloy into mixed SiC/ graphite preforms

Ludger Weber, Annapaola Parrilli, Caroline Hain, Alberto Ortona, Manoj Kondibhau Naikade

Porous carbonaceous preforms, made from graphite and silicon carbide (SiC) powders, with varying graphite powder mass fractions and particle sizes, were infiltrated at 1500 degrees C and 1700 degrees C by Si-8 at. pct Zr alloy to produce dense Si-Zr-SiC co ...

Crystalline or amorphous? A critical evaluation of phenomenological phase selection rules

Johann Michler, Caroline Hain, Ashish Sharma

In this work, we reviewed the available phase selection rules comprising atomic size and topological aspects, entropies, enthalpies, melting points, valence and itinerant electron concentrations, as well as electronegativity, and validated them using a car ...

Micromechanics of oxide inclusions in ferrous alloys

Alejandra Inés Slagter

Oxide inclusions are inevitably present in steel as a direct consequence of the steelmaking process; as a result, a cubic centimetre of modern steel will generally contain about a million of these hard and brittle micrometre-sized ceramic particles. Inclus ...

Modelling of metal alloys in realistic conditions with machine learning

Nataliya Lopanitsyna

Computer simulations based on statistical methods have emerged as a powerful tool for studying structure-property relationships at the atomistic level. However, to provide reliable insights into materials in realistic conditions, it is essential to accurat ...

Microstructure et usinabilité d'alliages de titane béta-métastable

Loïc Favre

Titanium has become in recent years an interesting material in many applications that require a combination of high mechanical properties and low density. It has the peculiarity of undergoing an allotropic transformation at 882°C. Below this temperature, ...

Process development of pre-impregnated hybrid thin-ply composites

Alexios Argyropoulos

Thin-ply composites, obtained with recently developed fiber spreading techniques, rapidly gained industrial interest because they offer a large composite design freedom, and lead to a composite tensile strength that is close to that of the individual fiber ...

Control of intermetallics in the interface in directed energy deposition of titanium on stainless steel 316L

Di Cui

Application of a single metal or alloy is often restricted by its properties from optimal combination of performance and cost. Therefore, there is a vast need of joining dissimilar metals for various applications in biomedical, aerospace, automobile and ma ...
