Ovri, H.; Jägle, E. A.; Stark, A.; Lilleodden, E. T.: Microstructural influences on strengthening in a naturally aged and overaged Al–Cu–Li–Mg based alloy. Materials Science and Engineering A: Structural Materials Properties Microstructure and Processing 637, pp. 162 - 169 (2015)
Here the focus lies on investigating the temperature dependent deformation of material interfaces down to the individual microstructural length-scales, such as grain/phase boundaries or hetero-interfaces, to understand brittle-ductile transitions in deformation and the role of chemistry or crystallography on it.
In this project, we aim to enhance the mechanical properties of an equiatomic CoCrNi medium-entropy alloy (MEA) by interstitial alloying. Carbon and nitrogen with varying contents have been added into the face-centred cubic structured CoCrNi MEA.
