Design of Ductile Rare-Earth-Free Magnesium Alloys

William Curtin, Binglun Yin, Zhaoxuan Wu, Rasool Ahmad

Pure Mg has low ductility due to a transition of < c+a > pyramidal dislocations to a sessile basal-oriented structure. Dilute alloying generally improves ductility. Enhancement of pyramidal cross-slip from the lower-energy pyramidal II plane to the higher- ...

Multiaxial fatigue analysis of high-strength steel welded joints using generalized local approaches

Martin Antonio René Garcia

The objective of this thesis is to improve methods for predicting the fatigue life, multiaxial or not, of mild- and more particularly high-strength steels using local approaches that have the capacity to be applicable to almost any cases, hence the term ge ...

Mechanistic origin of high strength in refractory BCC high entropy alloys up to 1900K

William Curtin, Francesco Maresca

The body centered cubic (BCC) high entropy alloys (HEAs) MoNbTaW and MoNbTaVW show exceptional strength retention up to 1900K. The mechanistic origin of the retained strength is unknown yet is crucial for finding the best alloys across the immense space of ...

Additive Manufacturing of L12 Precipitate Strengthened Nickel and Aluminum Alloys

Seth James Griffiths

Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies have enabled the manufacturing of parts with complex geometries that were previously not feasible with conventional manufacturing. Unfortunately, many commercial engineering alloys (with the exception of alloy ...

Variant selection in martensitic steels

Annick Pauline Baur

The martensitic phase transformation in steel is one of the most famous solid state transformation because of its contribution in the development of the modern industry. This transformation from a face-centered cubic (FCC) high temperature phase, called th ...

Multiaxial ultra low cycle fatigue in welded high strength steel structural components

Alain Nussbaumer, Albano António De Abreu E Presa De Castro E Sousa

Extreme events often subject regions of structural steel components to large inelastic strains. In conditions such as earthquakes, exceptional winds gusts or tides the loading scenario is cyclical, variable amplitude and frequently multiaxial in nature, an ...

Analysis of High Temperature Degradation of Alloys in Solid Oxide Fuel Cell

Manuel Bianco

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are approaching commercialization to improve power production efficiency. Currently, cost and lifetime reliability limit their spread in the market. The SOFC is ceramic-based, but refractory metal alloys are in fact the major ...

In situ characterization of a high work hardening Ti-6Al-4V prepared by electron beam melting

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Karl Alan Sofinowski, Nicola Casati

A multi-phase Ti-6Al-4V prepared by electron beam melting and thermal post treatments has been shown to exhibit increased strength and ductility over standard wrought or hot isostatic pressed Ti-6-Al-4V. The mechanical improvements are due to a prolonged, ...
