Yang, G.; Ren, W.; Liu, Y.; Song, W.; Han, F.; Chen, Y.; Cheng, L.: Effect of pre-deformation in the β phase field on the microstructure and texture of the α phase in a boron-added β-solidifying TiAl alloy. Journal of Alloys and Compounds 742, pp. 304 - 311 (2018)
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.
A novel design with independent tip and sample heating is developed to characterize materials at high temperatures. This design is realized by modifying a displacement controlled room temperature micro straining rig with addition of two miniature hot stages.
