Diffusion Studies On Systems Related to Nickel Based Superalloys
(2013-02-28)Superalloys offer high temperature strength, excellent creep, corrosion and oxidation resistances, microstructural stability and good fatigue life at elevated temperatures. The composition of the superalloys has been ... -
Effect Of Free-Volume On The Fracture And Fatigue Of Amorphous Alloys
(2010-07-01)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 ... -
Effect of Li Addition on the Plasticity of AZ31 Mg-Alloy
(2017-11-14)Mg-alloys, despite being the lightest structural metallic materials, find limited applications due to their poor workability, which is due to the hcp structure that does not provide sufficient number of independent slip ... -
First Principles Study Of Structure And Stacking Fault Energies In Some Metallic Systems
(2010-08-05)Plastic deformation in crystalline materials largely depends on the properties of dislocations, in particular their mobility. While continuum description of deformation of a crystalline metal can be made reasonably well ... -
First-Principles Studies of Point Defects and Phase Transformations in Materials
(2018-01-18)The functional and mechanical properties of a material are often determined by the defects in them. A thorough understanding of the relationship between the defects and the properties allows for tailoring a material’s ... -
Fracture and Deformation in Bulk Metallic Glasses and Composites
(2018-01-11)Plastic flow in bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) localizes into narrow bands, which, in the absence of a microstructure that could obstruct them, propagate unhindered under tensile loading. In constrained deformation conditions ... -

Mechanical Behavior Of B-Modified Ti-6Al-4V Alloys
(2011-09-20)Titanium alloys are important engineering alloys that are extensively used in various industries. This is due to their unique combination of mechanical and physical properties such as low density combined with high strength ... -
Microstructure And Texture Evolution And Its Effect On Mechanical Properties In Dilute Magnesium Based AZ21 Alloy
(2009-03-05)Dilute Mg alloys are exclusively identified for wrought structural applications in automotive industry. Any improvement in mechanical properties of alloys is possible only by grain size refinement and by the development ... -
Multi-Scale Approaches For Understanding Deformation And Fracture Mechanisms In Amorphous Alloys
(2010-03-09)Amorphous alloys possess attractive combinations of mechanical properties (high elastic limit, ~2%, high fracture toughness, 20-50 MPa.m1/2, etc.) and exhibit mechanical behavior that is different, in many ways, from that ... -
Numerical Simulations on the Indentation Behaviour of Shape Memory Alloys
Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are increasingly being used as micro actuators, sensors, as self expanding cardiovascular stents and in MEMs based devices because of their ability to recover large values of imposed strain. ... -
Plastic Deformation During Indentation Of Crystalline And Amorphous Materials
(2013-06-10)Indentation hardness, H, has been widely used to characterize the mechanical properties of materials for more than a century because of the following advantages of this technique; (1) it requires small sample and (2) the ... -
Some Mechanical Properties of Ti-6Al-4V-B Alloys
(2017-09-27)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 ... -
Tensile And Low Cycle Fatigue Behavior Of A Ni-Base Superalloy
(2009-12-14)Background and Objective: Nickel-base superalloys, strengthened by a high volume fraction of Ni3Al precipitates, have been the undisputed choice for turbine discs in gas turbines as they exhibit the best available combination ...
