Hydrogen in aluminium can cause embrittlement and critical failure. However, the behaviour of hydrogen in aluminium was not yet understood. Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung were able to locate hydrogen inside aluminium’s microstructure and designed strategies to trap the hydrogen atoms inside the microstructure. This can…
Recently developed dual-phase high entropy alloys (HEAs) exhibit both an increase in strength and ductility upon grain refinement, overcoming the strength-ductility trade-off in conventional alloys [1]. Metastability engineering through compositional tuning in non-equimolar Fe-Mn-Co-Cr HEAs enabled the design of a dual-phase alloy composed of…
Understanding hydrogen-microstructure interactions in metallic alloys and composites is a key issue in the development of low-carbon-emission energy by e.g. fuel cells, or the prevention of detrimental phenomena such as hydrogen embrittlement. We develop and test infrastructure, through in-situ nanoindentation and related techniques, to study…
To design novel alloys with tailored properties and microstructure, two materials science approaches have proven immensely successful: Firstly, thermodynamic and kinetic descriptions for tailoring and processing alloys to achieve a desired microstructure. Secondly, crystal defect manipulation to control strength, formability and corrosion…
Because of their excellent corrosion resistance, high wear resistance and comparable low density, Fe–Al-based alloys are an interesting alternative for replacing stainless steels and possibly even Ni-base superalloys. Recent progress in increasing strength at high temperatures has evoked interest by industries to evaluate possibilities to employ…
Project C3 of the SFB/TR103 investigates high-temperature dislocation-dislocation and dislocation-precipitate interactions in the gamma/gamma-prime microstructure of Ni-base superalloys.
