A physically-based two-site mean field model has been developed to describe the microstructural evolution due to recrystallization during and after deformation. The model has been applied to predict the recrystallized fraction, recrystallized grain size, a ...
Various thermo-mechanical treatments were applied to refine and homogenise grain size and improve mechanical properties of hot-isostatically pressed (HIP) 14%Cr ODS ferritic steel. The grain size was reduced, improving mechanical properties, tensile streng ...
We explore the influence of the metal microstructure on the compressive flow stress of replicated microcellular 400-mu m pore size Al-4.5 wt%Cu solidified at two different solidification cooling rates, in the as-cast and T6 conditions. It is found that the ...
We present a process for the production of Cu-Al matrix composites containing between 25 and 30 vol.% in situ Al2O3. The composites are prepared by pressing, heat-treating and hot working blended powders of Cu, Al and CuO packed into copper alloy cans. The ...
A W-2Y(2)O(3) composite has been developed by powder metallurgy methods in collaboration with the Plansee Company (Austria). The microstructure of the composite was analyzed using transmission electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction in sca ...
A W-2Y(2)O(3) material was developed in collaboration with the Plansee Company (Austria). An ingot of the material having approximate dimension of 95 mm x 20 mm was fabricated by mixing the elemental powders followed by pressing, sintering and hot forging. ...
A W-2Y(2)O(3) composite is produced by powder metallurgy, including the pressing of the mixed elemental powders, their sintering and hot forging. The microstructure of the obtained composite is investigated using light microscopy, scanning electron microsc ...
