The emergence of new multicomponent high entropy alloys (HEA) has opened up new avenues for development of high performance materials for structural applications [1]. Among all of them, the precipitation strengthened HEAs ... -
On the development of low mass density gamma strengthened Co-based superalloys
The work herein aims at developing new class of low mass density gamma-strengthened Co-based superalloys with good solvus temperature through systematic addition of Cr into the Co-Ni-Al- Mo-Ta based superalloy. The present ... -
On the Factors Influencing the Stability of Phases in the Multiferroic System BiFeO3-PbTiO3
(2018-08-11)Rhombohedral perovskite BiFeO3 is a single phase multiferroic compound exhibiting both magnetic (Neel temperature ~370˚C) and ferroelectric (Curie point ~840˚C) ordering well above the room temperature. Ferroelectricity ... -
Optimization of parameters in SiC production via Acheson Process – a hot model study
Silicon carbide (SiC) is produced industrially in a heat resistance furnace using quartz (silica) and raw petroleum coke (RPC) as the raw material. In this process, commonly known as the Acheson Process, a large current ... -
