Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are a new class of structural materials and exhibit unique combinations of mechanical properties. As a result, their mechanical behavior has been an active area of scientific pursuit in the ...

A physico-chemical approach (theory of dissociation and reaction) is developed, which can be used in binary diffusion couple to determine diffusion parameters of the product phases with wide homogeneity range, as well as ...

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 ...

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. ...

Magnesium alloys have poor formability at room temperature, due to a limited number of slip systems owing to the hexagonal closed packed structure of magnesium. One possibility to increase the formability of magnesium ...

NiTi based shape memory alloys (SMA) cover most of the commercially produced shape memory devices and components. The reversible martensitic transformation between the phases B2 (austenite) and B19′ (martensite) is responsible ...

There exist large number of techniques for the preparation of nanostructured materials. Among them the preparation of nanopowders by gas/vapour condensation is a popular one. Because of very high level of surface to volume ...
