Laves phases with their comparably simple crystal structure are very common intermetallic
phases and can be formed from element combinations all over the periodic table resulting in …

Phase transitions are a common phenomenon in condensed matter and act as a critical
degree of freedom that can be employed to tailor the mechanical or electronic properties of …

The synergy of ultra-high strength and large ductility is a vital requirement in particular for
single-phase structural alloys; unfortunately these two properties are generally mutually …

Understanding how topologically close-packed phases (TCPs) transform between one
another is one of the challenging puzzles in solid-state transformations. Here we use atomic …

Ti alloy clad plate is of great interest for marine and petrochemical industry applications.
However, high interfacial bonding is hardly obtained in the Ti alloy clad plate due to the …

TC4 titanium alloy was brazed to 316L stainless steel with newly designed Ti x Zr 50-x Cu
39 Ni 11 amorphous filler metals. The effect of Zr content on the wettability of filler metals …

Medium-or high-entropy alloys (MEAs or HEAs) with a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice
exhibit low strength, despite their considerable ductility. Introducing topologically close …

The µ phase is a common precipitation phase in superalloys and it exists in a wide
composition and temperature range. As such, we study the influences of composition and …

Joining of Cu-based dispersion-strengthened alloys to Ni-based superalloys has garnered
increased attention for liquid rocket engine applications due to the high thermal conductivity …

Elemental doping is a universal strategy in controlling the functionalities of materials that
strongly correlate with naturally formed atomic defects. Element-resolved chemical mapping …
