Additive friction stir deposition (AFSD) is a relatively new additive manufacturing technique
to fabricate parts in solid state below the melting temperature. Due to the solid-state nature …

For every class of polycrystalline materials, the scientific study of grain boundaries as well as
the increasingly widespread practice of grain boundary engineering rely heavily on visual …

Coherent twin boundaries (CTBs) are widely described, both theoretically and
experimentally, as perfect interfaces that play a significant role in a variety of materials …

The individual effect of DRXed grains, subgrains and deformed grains on the basal texture
of Mg–Zn–Zr alloy during hot tensile deformation was systematically studied by extracting …

Can completely homogeneous nucleation occur? Large scale molecular dynamics
simulations performed on a graphics-processing-unit rich supercomputer can shed light on …

Abstract Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) of large near-net-shape titanium
components has the potential to reduce costs and lead-time in many industrial sectors …

Additively manufactured (AM) metallic parts exhibit substantially different microstructures
compared to those that are conventionally produced. Characterization studies have …

Different fast forging processes are used for microstructure optimization in an attempt to
improve hydrogen storage in Mg-based composites obtained from a mixture of Mg-22 wt …

The plastic deformation at high temperatures of two-phase titanium alloys is modelled using
a mesoscale approach to describe the complex interactions between different populations of …

This work provides unambiguous evidence for the occurrence of icosahedral quasicrystal
