A gradual depletion of high-grade ores, coupled with the growing demand for mineral commodities across the world has culminated in the increased exploitation of lean-grade ores with complex mineralogy. The mineral processing ...

Group IV transition metal carbides are promising materials for high temperature structural application, due to their unique sets of properties such as high melting temperature, high temperature strength, hardness, elastic ...

The demand for compact, efficient and high performance electronic devices and sensor systems has become one of the primary driving force for rapid advancement in miniaturization of current technology. However, the attempt ...

The alloys of Ti are extensively used in a number of industries with the α+β alloy Ti-6Al-4V (referred to as Ti64 hereafter) being the most popular. Recently, it was demonstrated that the addition of a small amount of B ...

The properties of titanium alloys are based on alloy compositions and microstructures that consist of mixtures of the two allotropic modifications of titanium, the low temperature α (hcp) and the high temperature β (bcc) ...

Climate change is a subject of deep distress in today’s world. Over dependence on hydrocarbon has resulted in serious environmental problems. Rising sea level, global warming and ozone layer depletion are the mainstream ...

The present thesis deals with synthesis of free alloy nanoparticles in immiscible alloy systems by the process of laser ablation under a liquid. In this process the alloy target is submerged in a liquid and the plume formed ...

Group III-Nitrides (GaN, InN & AlN) are considered one of the most important class of semiconducting materials after Si and GaAs. The excellent optical and electrical properties of these nitrides result in numerous ...

Titanium and its alloys constitute an important class of materials for aerospace, biomedical, and chemical industries, primarily due to their high specific strength and fracture toughness with good corrosion resistance. ...
