A novel non-contact strain measurement technique has been employed to measure the
tensile properties of extremely small 'microsamples' of pure high-density ultrafine-grained Al …

The paper reveals the possibility for obtaining excellent strength-ductility combination under
both tension and compression in a fully lamellar β-solidified γ-TiAl based alloy by controlling …

Microsample tensile testing has been established as a means of evaluating the room
temperature mechanical properties of specimens with gage sections that are tens to …

Dislocation activity in two-phase commercial TiAl alloys occurs most readily in the γ-TiAl
phase, and measurements of the physical and mechanical properties γ-TiAl are needed to …

Directional annealing (DA) is a novel technique to prepare colunmar grains or single crystal
in TiAl alloys without melt contamination. Both numerical simulation and experiments were …

Precise characterization of individual slip system behavior is vital to understanding the
strengthening mechanisms of many commercially important titanium alloys. However, limited …

A Ti–46Al (at.%) polysynthetically twinned alloy, which contained a characteristic lamellar
spacing of λ= 1.3 μm, was converted to a polycrystalline fully-lamellar microstructure with λ …

Due to the increasing demand for lightweight structures with complex geometries in many
industries, aluminum alloys (Al) have gained greater applications in additive manufacturing …

A micro-tensile testing system coupled with focussed ion beam (FIB) machining was used to
characterise the micro-mechanical properties of the weld from a turbine disc alloy. The …

In this study, materials based on titanium aluminides were prepared by varying the
percentage of aluminum (Al), thus obtaining the Ti-54Al and Ti-56Al alloys. In this context …
