The mechanical behaviour of nanocrystalline austenitic steels with and without yttria particles was investigated using in situ synchrotron diffraction during tensile deformation. Two different strain-hardening regimes were found. The first regime can be as ...
We show that steel-magnesium alloy laminated metal composites (LMCs) can be produced by gas pressure infiltration of a liquid magnesium alloy between layers of stacked dimpled steel sheets. Resulting LMCs are amenable to subsequent warm rolling. The LMCs a ...
Metallic Ni nanopowder (Ni-0) was monitored during 23 h of carburization (2CO + 3Ni(0) - Ni3C + CO2, T = 265 degrees C) using Ni K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction analysis made afterward at room temperature revealed 28 +/- 3% Ni3C amo ...
This thesis is focused on the properties of microcellular aluminium, produced by replication processing, at the micro, meso and macrostructural level. The replication process is based on the infiltration of a porous sodium chloride (NaCl) perform with molt ...
Solders are widely used as interconnect material for the electronic industry. The solder interconnect provides both electrical contact and mechanical connection between the integrated circuit devices and their substrate. Thus solders with good reliability ...
