Evolution of Microstructure and Texture during Severe Plastic Deformation of a Magnesium-Cerium Alloy
(2018-01-03)
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 ...
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 ...
Microstructural, Mechanical and Oxidation Behavior of Ni-Al-Zr Intermetallic Eutectic Alloys
(2018-01-04)
The excellent high temperature microstructure stability, high strength, and oxidation resistance of intermetallics has for long driven the development of intermetallic based alloys. More recent studies demonstrated attractive ...
Some Processing and Mechanical Behavior Related Issues in Ti-Ni Based Shape Memory Alloys
(2017-11-30)
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) exhibit unique combination of structural and functional properties and hence have a variety of current and potential applications. The mechanical behaviour of SMAs, in particular the influence ...
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 ...
Destabilisation and Failure of Cylindrical Nanopores : A Phase Field Study
(2017-11-28)
Phase field models have played an important role in shaping our understanding of a variety of micro structural phenomena in materials. Their attractive features include (a) their ability to capture instabilities in ...
Reactive Hot Pressing Of ZrB2-Based Ultra High Temperature Ceramic Composites
(2010-10-08)
Zirconium- and titanium- based compounds (borides, carbides and nitrides) are of importance because of their attractive properties including: high melting temperature, high-temperature strength, high hardness, high elastic ...
Processing Of Zirconia Based Honeycombs And Evaluation Of Thermo Mechanical Properties
(2010-08-16)
Ceramic cellular solids, mainly honeycombs and foams, are a novel class of composite materials where one phase is an interconnected network of solid struts or plates and the other one an empty phase or possibly a fluid. ...
Degradation Of Water Soluble Polymers
