High temperature mechanical properties including semi-solid region in Al–Mg system alloys, and its effect on hot tearing

Massive Transformation in Titanium-Silver Alloys and Its Effect on Their Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Behavior

In order to investigate the relationship between phase/microstructure and various properties of Ti-xAg alloys, a series of Ti-xAg alloys with Ag contents ranging from 5 to 20 wt% were prepared. The microstructures were characterized using X-ray diffractometry (XRD), optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). All of the Ti-xAg alloys s...

Temperature Effect on the Mechanical Properties of Pd3Rh and PdRh3 Ordered Alloys

The aim of this research was to calculate the mechanical properties of Pd3Rh and PdRh3 ordered alloys. The molecular dynamics (MD) simulation technique was used to obtain temperature dependence of the energy, the Yong modulus, the shear modulus, the bulk modulus, Poisson’s ratio and the elastic stiffness constants at the isobaric-isothermal (NPT) ensemble in the range of 100-325 K. The interato...

Effect of Alloying Elements on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Austempered Ductile Iron Alloys

High-Temperature Behaviour of Austenitic Alloys -Influence of Temperature and Strain Rate on Mechanical Properties and Microstructural Development

The global increase in energy consumption and the global warming from greenhouse gas emission creates the need for more environmental friendly energy production processes. Biomass power plants with higher efficiency could generate more energy but also reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, e.g. CO2. Biomass is the largest global contributor to renewable energy and offers no net contribution o...
