Schüler, K.; Philippi, B.; Weinmann, M.; Marx, V. M.; Vehoff, H.: Effects of processing on texture, internal stresses and mechanical properties during the pulsed electrodeposition of nanocrystalline and ultrafine-grained nickel. Acta Materialia 61 (11), pp. 3945 - 3955 (2013)
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.
