International researcher team presents a novel microstructure design strategy for lean medium-manganese steels with optimized properties in the journal Science
Nickel-based alloys are a particularly interesting class of materials due to their specific properties such as high-temperature strength, low-temperature ductility and toughness, oxidation resistance, hot-corrosion resistance, and weldability, becoming potential candidates for high-performance components that require corrosion resistance and good…
In this project, we aim at significantly enhancing the strength-ductility combination of quinary high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with five principal elements by simultaneously introducing interstitial C/N and the transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) effect. Thus, a new class of alloys, namely, interstitially alloyed TRIP-assisted quinary (five-component) HEAs is being developed.
In this project, we study the atomistic structure and phase transformations of tilt grain boundaries in Cu by using aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope to build a relation to the transport properties of the grain boundaries via macroscopic tracer diffusion experiments. In the meantime, we address the impact of the grain…
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…
