Following their discovery in the early 1960s, there has been a continuous quest for ways to
take advantage of the extraordinary properties of shape memory alloys (SMAs). These …

The outwards diffusion of Al and Si elements in Al-containing and Si-containing MAX phases
endows them one natural advantage to form anti-oxidation layer and strong interfacial …

Abstract Ti 3 SiC 2/Cu brazed joint has an important application in the pantograph of high-
speed trains, but excessively continuous intermetallic compounds (IMC) and thick diffusion …

Abstract Brazing Ti 3 SiC 2 ceramic to pure copper can expand their practical applications,
but excessive brittle intermetallic in the joint is harmful to mechanical properties of joint. The …

Nitinol shape memory alloys are widely explored and applied in various engineering
applications owing to their distinctive shape memory effect and pseudoelasticity. The …

In this work, a novel TiC x-Ni 3 (Al, Ti)/Ni alloy composite was successfully synthesized from
Ti 3 AlC 2 (20 vol% and 40 vol%) and Ni starting powders via in-situ hot-pressing route at …

Ti 3 SiC 2 ceramic and SUS430 stainless steel (SS) were successfully joined by a solid
diffusion bonding technique using Ni interlayers. Diffusion bonding was performed in the …

Refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) hold far reaching application potential in high
temperature structural materials fields due to their high melting points and excellent …

Abstract NiTi, NiTi-4Si, and NiTi-4Si-2YF 3 coatings were prepared on Ti-6Al-4V substrate
by laser cladding to obtain composite multilayer protective coating for composite structure …

TiAl intermetallic was direct diffusion bonded to Ti 3 SiC 2 at 900° C, 950° C, and 1000° C
with a holding time ranging from 0.25 h to 64 h. The interfacial microstructural evolution, the …
