X-ray computer tomography (CT) is fast becoming an accepted tool within the materials
science community for the acquisition of 3D images. Here the authors review the current …

Electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD) has made an impressive impact on the
characterization of materials by directly linking microstructure and crystallographic texture to …

Crystal Plasticity (CP) modeling is a powerful and well established computational materials
science tool to investigate mechanical structure–property relations in crystalline materials. It …

The basic framework and-conceptual understanding of the metallurgy of Ti alloys is strong
and this has enabled the use of titanium and its alloys in safety-critical structures such as …

Addition of a small amount of Ca improves the ductility of Mg alloys. However, the
mechanism underlying this effect is not well understood. In this work, tensile testing of an …

The yield strength of metals is typically governed by the average grain size through the Hall-
Petch relation, and it usually follows the rule of mixture (ROM) for layered composite …

The mechanical response of multiphase alloys is governed by the microscopic strain and
stress partitioning behavior among microstructural constituents. However, due to limitations …

The effect of slip transfer on heterogeneous deformation of polycrystals has been a topic of
recurring interest, as this process can either lead to the nucleation of damage, or prevent …

Superplastic forming, as an advanced manufacturing method, is especially important for
producing complex-shaped components for Mg-alloys. Superplasticity can be achieved …

Cold dwell fatigue of titanium alloys used in aero-engine components has threatened flight
safety for over five decades. This phenomenon was encountered in Al-containing titanium …
