Investigating Grain Boundary Phases and Mechanism-Property Relationships in Ni and Ni-X (X=Cu, Au, Nb) Solid Solutions

microstructure and properties

This project endeavours to offer comprehensive insights into GB phases and their mechanical responses within both pure Ni and Ni-X (X=Cu, Au, Nb) solid solutions. The outcomes of this research will contribute to the development of mechanism-property diagrams, guiding material design and optimization strategies for various applications.
