A high degree of configurational entropy is a key underlying assumption of many high entropy alloys (HEAs). However, for the vast majority of HEAs very little is known about the degree of short-range chemical order as well as potential decomposition. Recent studies for some prototypical face-centered cubic (fcc) HEAs such as CrCoNi showed that…
Electron channelling contrast imaging (ECCI) is a powerful technique for observation of extended crystal lattice defects (e.g. dislocations, stacking faults) with almost transmission electron microscopy (TEM) like appearance but on bulk samples in the scanning electron microscope (SEM).
About 90% of all mechanical service failures are caused by fatigue. Avoiding fatigue failure requires addressing the wide knowledge gap regarding the micromechanical processes governing damage under cyclic loading, which may be fundamentally different from that under static loading. This is particularly true for deformation-induced martensitic…
We simulate the ionization contrast in field ion microscopy arising from the electronic structure of the imaged surface. For this DFT calculations of the electrified surface are combined with the Tersoff-Hamann approximation to electron tunneling. The approach allows to explain the chemical contrast observed for NiRe alloys.
Decarbonisation of the steel production to a hydrogen-based metallurgy is one of the key steps towards a sustainable economy. While still at the beginning of this transformation process, with multiple possible processing routes on different technological readiness, we conduct research into the related fundamental scientific questions at the MPIE.
Within this project, we will use an infra-red laser beam source based selective powder melting to fabricate copper alloy (CuCrZr) architectures. The focus will be on identifying the process parameter-microstructure-mechanical property relationships in 3-dimensional CuCrZr alloy lattice architectures, under both quasi-static and dynamic loading…
