The capability for synergistic advancements in both making and shaping afforded by
additive manufacturing (AM) enables the flexible production of high-performance …

Excess vacancies play crucial roles in the precipitation of age-hardening precipitates in
aluminium alloys, but their spatial evolution across grains during heat treatments is less …

Reducing the hot working temperature and high-temperature deformation resistance of
titanium alloy to improve hot rolling and hot extrusion workability of products with thin walls …

Metallic nanolaminates exhibit superior strength compared to their coarsely laminated
counterparts. For layer thicknesses in the range of a few to tens of nanometers, the strength …

The inhibitory effect of the second phase on dislocation movement has long been deemed
as a great contribution to the strengthening of alloys. We investigate the electronic behavior …

Creep tests are carried out on Ni-based single crystal superalloy sheet samples with
different thicknesses at 1100° C/130 MPa. The results indicate that the secondary creep rate …

With exposure to high-energy particle irradiation, structural metals develop a number of
nanoscale defects, one of which is the nano-sized He bubble. Formed throughout the …

Material plastic behavior during deformation is affected by several parameters such as
atomic structure, crystalline orientation, grain boundaries, impurities etc. In this study …

A γ-analogue of the superalloy CMSX-4 that does not contain the strengthening γ′-phase
and only consists of the γ-solid solution of nickel has been designed, solidified as single …
