A team from Lanzhou University of Technology have developed a novel NiTi shape memory allow (SMA) with harmonic microstructures fabricated via ...

This news release is available in German. Doctoral student Florian Vogel and Dr. Nelia Wanderka from the HZB Institute of Applied Materials have elegantly combined two methods to accomplish this: ...

Duplex steels have a two-phase microstructure made up of austenite and ferrite. They also have better toughness than ferritic stainless alloys, and double the strength of both austenitic and ferritic ...

In recent years, high-entropy carbide ceramics have received extensive attention and become another research focus in the high entropy materials field, which are also known as multi-component carbide ...

The toughness, ductility, and wear resistance of metallic alloys are dictated by the phases present in their microstructure and how these phases are distributed. During heat treatments such as ...

Scientists have used pressure with a twisting shear to permanently deform silicon, an important material for electronics. The resulting changes in silicon's microstructure produce material phases that ...

Innovative aluminum brazing fillers with nickel and yttrium show promise for high-strength joints, balancing temperature and ...
