Park, S. J.; Han, H. N.; Oh, K. H.; Raabe, D.; Kim, J. K.: Crystal Plasticity Finite Element Simulations of Grain Interaction and Orientation Fragmentation during Plastic Deformation of BCC Metals, (2003)
Max Planck scientists design a process that merges metal extraction, alloying and processing into one single, eco-friendly step. Their results are now published in the journal Nature.
The field of micromechanics has seen a large progress in the past two decades, enabled by the development of instrumented nanoindentation. Consequently, diverse methodologies have been tested to extract fundamental properties of materials related to their plastic and elastic behaviour and fracture toughness. Established experimental protocols are…
