Microscopic Strain Localization and Damage in Multi-phase Alloys
Identifying critical factors for microscopic strain localization and damage in multiphase alloys is challenging. In addition to distinct phase-specific properties, extra complexities arise from a broad spectrum of morphology and spatial distribution of phases. Multiple deformation mechanisms can …

Synchrotron X-Ray Diffraction and Piezospectroscopy used for the Investigation of Individual Mechanical Effects from Environmental Contaminants and Oxide Layer Undulations in Thermal Barrier Coatings
<p>The durability of Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) used on the turbine blades of aircraft and power generation engines has been known to be affected by sand particle ingression comprised of Calcium-Magnesium-Alumina-Silicate (CMAS). Previous studies have shown that these effects present …

In-Situ Investigations of Calcium-Magnesium-Aluminosilicates (CMAS) Infiltration Effects on Thermal Barrier Coatings Under Extreme Environments Replicating Jet Engines
<p>Calcium-magnesium-aluminosilicate (CMAS) particulates, such as sand or volcanic ash, are ingested by gas turbine jet engines during operation. When operating within high abundance regions, these particulates negatively interact and degrade the high temperature thermal barrier coatings (TBC) …

The effect of temperature on phase transformation mechanisms in electrodes for Li-ion batteries
… on the phase transformation mechanisms in electrodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is an important but – to date – only less studied subject in battery research. In real-life applications, LIBs usually function at non-ambient conditions and especially increased temperatures give rise …

Understanding the formation and influence of the omega phase in metastable beta Ti-Nb based alloys
… β-Ti alloys have potential applications ranging from low modulus biomedical alloys to vibration damping in aerospace. This is, in part, due to the ability of certain compositions to undergo a stress induced transformation to the martensitic α″ phase, enabling superelasticity. However, the …

Modelling of Microstructure Development in Silicon-containing Bainitic Free-machining Steels
… model the microstructure development of Si-containing bainitic free-machining steel, including allotriomorphic ferrite, idiomorphic ferrite, pearlite, Widmanstatten ferrite, bainite and martensite. The effect of recalescence has been included to give a better estimation of the cooling curve under …
