Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) is the term for a collection of phenomena by which the
action of a liquid metal in contact with the surface of a solid metal results in the weakening …

The distributions of tungsten (W) in Ni-based single crystal superalloys with different Re and
Ta contents are characterized and specified by atom probe tomography. The results show …

To investigate influences of Ta content on microstructural stability during thermal exposure
at 900° C (up to 3000 h) and creep properties at 980° C/163 MPa in Ni-based SX superalloy …

Through a combination of atom probe tomography (APT) and theoretical calculations, the
distributions of tungsten (W) at the γ/γ′ interfaces with exposure effects in a Ni-based single …

The parallel tangent method widely applied to predict the composition and driving force to
form a nucleus from an oversaturated solution is extended in this paper. The parallel tangent …

Non-metallic contamination is a practically unavoidable byproduct of commercial synthesis
processes; however, non-metallic impurities are often overlooked when considering material …

Molybdenum (Mo) addition was investigated for its influence on the interfacial characteristics
of γ′-phase strengthened Co-based superalloys with γ/γ′ dual phases. Advanced …

A model for describing solute segregation at grain boundaries has been developed for
substitutional solid solution alloys, which integrates multiple factors from atomic to …

Abstract Nanocrystalline Cu-Ta is among the most successfully developed nanostructured
alloys involving microstructural design, synthesis, characterization, and testing. However …

Many experimental and first principles studies on precipitation hardening alloys show that
segregation of elemental species to the matrix-precipitate interphase boundary (IB) reduces …
