Using quantum-mechanical methods we calculate and analyze (tensorial) anisotropic elastic properties of the ground-state configurations of interface states associated with Sigma5(210) grain boundaries (GBs) in cubic ...

This paper deals with various selective laser melting (SLM) processing strategies for aluminum 2618 powder in order to get material densities and properties close to conventionally-produced, high-strength 2618 alloy. To ...

Titanium powder was deposited onto steel specimens using four thermal spray technologies: plasma spray, low-pressure cold spray, portable cold spray, and warm spray. The specimens were then subjected to strain controlled ...

New Mg-3Zn-2Ca magnesium alloy was prepared using different processing techniques: gravity casting as well as squeeze casting in liquid and semisolid states. Materials were further thermally treated; thermal treatment of ...

The plasticity models in finite element codes are often not able to describe the cyclic plasticity phenomena satisfactorily. Developing a user-defined material model is a demanding process, challenging especially for ...

Magnesium alloy QE22 (nominal composition 2 wt % Ag, 2 wt % mixture of rare earth elements, balance Mg) was reinforced with 5 vol % Saffil fibers and 15 vol % SiC particles. The hybrid composite was prepared via the squeeze ...

The study presents a comprehensive research on the plasma spray fabrication of TiO2 coatings with microstructural properties adjustable via controlling the respective in-flight properties of the feedstock particles. The ...

The effect of plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) on the fatigue of AZ61 magnesium alloy has been investigated under high cycle conditions in air and 3.5% NaCl solution. PEOemployed an alkaline pyrophosphate-silicate-fluoride ...

Four blends of Al powder containing different amounts of Ti were deposited onto Ti-46Al-7Nb substrates as oxidation-protection layers using low-pressure cold spray. The coating morphology and chemical composition were ...

A practical method for the construction of MSC is presented in the paper. With the help of a few dilatometric sintering experiments the newly developed software calculates MSC and finds the optimal activation energy of a ...
