International researcher team presents a novel microstructure design strategy for lean medium-manganese steels with optimized properties in the journal Science
Smaller is stronger” is well known in micromechanics, but the properties far from the quasi-static regime and the nominal temperatures remain unexplored. This research will bridge this gap on how materials behave under the extreme conditions of strain rate and temperature, to enhance fundamental understanding of their deformation mechanisms. The…
In this project, we aim to realize an optimal balance among the strength, ductility and soft magnetic properties in soft-magnetic high-entropy alloys. To this end, we introduce a high-volume fraction of coherent and ordered nanoprecipitates into the high-entropy alloy matrix. The good combination of strength and ductility derives from massive solid…
In AM, parts are built from layer by layer fusion of raw material (eg. wire, powder etc.). Such layer by layer application of heat results in a time-temperature profile which is fundamentally different from any of the contemporary heat treatments.
Previous work in the group has established that this unique thermal profile can be exploited for microstructural modifications (eg. clustering, precipitation) during manufacturing. The aim of this work is to develop a fundamental understanding of such a strongly non-linear, peak-like thermal history on the precipitation kinetics.
In this EU Horizon project, we at MPIE, will focus on the sustainable pre-reduction of manganese ores with hydrogen, especially the kinetic analysis of the reduction process using thermogravimetry analysis and an in-depth understand the role of microstructure and local chemistry in the reduction process.
