International researcher team presents a novel microstructure design strategy for lean medium-manganese steels with optimized properties in the journal Science
We will investigate the electrothermomechanical response of individual metallic nanowires as a function of microstructural interfaces from the growth processes. This will be accomplished using in situ SEM 4-point probe-based electrical resistivity measurements and 2-point probe-based impedance measurements, as a function of mechanical strain and…
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…
