Atomistic Dynamics of Deformation, Fracture and GB Migration in Oxides

Date: Dec 12, 2023
Time: 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Prof. Yuichi Ikuhara
Professor, Director of Nano Technology Center Institute of Engineering Innovation, School of Engineering The University of Tokyo
Location: Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH
Room: Large Conference Room No. 203
Host: on invitation of Prof. Gerhard Dehm

In order to clarify the deformation and fracture mechanism in oxides such as Al2O3 and STO, TEM in situ nanoindentation experiments were conducted for their single crystals and bicrystals. We successfully observed the dynamic behavior of twin formation, twin-GB interaction, pile-up dislocation, jog ... [more]

Hydrogen permeation based potentiometry is a recently developed experimental technique to measure electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) rates at in-accessible polymer/metal interfaces relevant for corrosion driven coating delamination

Date: Nov 14, 2023
Time: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Dr.-Ing. Vijayshankar Dandapani
Dr. -Ing. Vijayshankar Dandapani is an Assistant Professor at the Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science Department, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay. He is an alumnus of the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH (MPIE), Düsseldorf where he did his PhD work with PD Dr. Michael Rohwerder.

Local Phase Transformations: A New Creep Strengthening Mechanism in Ni-Base Superalloys

Date: Nov 13, 2023
Time: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Professor Michael J. Mills
Department of Materials Science and Engineering & Center for Electron Microscopy and Analysis, The Ohio State University, Columbus, USA
Location: Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH
Room: Large Conference Room No. 203
Host: on invitation of Prof. Gerhard Dehm

Polycrystalline Ni-based superalloys are vital materials for disks in the hot section of aerospace and land-based turbine engines due to their exceptional microstructural stability and strength at high temperatures. In order to increase operating temperatures and hold times in these engines, hence ... [more]

High-resolution micro-plasticity in advanced high-strength steels

Date: Nov 6, 2023

An atoms eye view of Solar System Evolution

Date: Sep 15, 2023
Time: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Dr. Luke Daly, University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK
Dr Luke Daly is a Reader in Planetary Geoscience at the University of Glasgow. He completed his MSc degree in Geology at Imperial College London. His PhD was with Prof. Phil Bland at Curtin University Australia which focused on platinum group element alloys in meteorites. His current research focusses on applying correlative microscopy including atom probe tomography to meteorites and asteroid sample return mission materials in order to understand how our Solar System formed and evolved: in particular, trying to answer the question of how Earth became a habitable planet. He is a participating scientist on JAXA's Hayabusa 2 mission and treasurer of the UK Fireball Alliance - a network of meteor cameras that successfully recovered the Winchcombe meteorite in 2021.
