International researcher team presents a novel microstructure design strategy for lean medium-manganese steels with optimized properties in the journal Science
We plan to investigate the rate-dependent tensile properties of 2D materials such as metal thin films and PbMoO4 (PMO) films by using a combination of a novel plan-view FIB based sample lift out method and a MEMS based in situ tensile testing platform inside a TEM.
The main aspect of this project is to understand how hydrogen interacts with dislocations/ stacking faults at the stress concentrated crack tip. A three-point bending test has been employed for this work.
Thermoelectric materials can convert largely untapped heat energy sources, e.g. geothermal or industrial waste heat, into sustainable electricity. Despite their high potential, efficient thermoelectrics are rare. High thermoelectric conversion efficiency requires high electrical conductivity (σ) but low thermal conductivity (κ), a rare combination…
In this project we study the development of a maraging steel alloy consisting of Fe, Ni and Al, that shows pronounced response to the intrinsic heat treatment imposed during Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM). Without any further heat treatment, it was possible to produce a maraging steel that is intrinsically precipitation strengthened by an…
