The application of magnesium alloys is greatly limited because of their relatively low strength and ductility. An effective way to improve the mechanical properties of magnesium alloy is to refine the grains. As the race for better materials performance is never ending, attempts to develop viable techniques for microstructure refinement continue. Further refining of grain size requires, however...

Creep deformation behaviour in single phase $\gamma$-TiAl alloy has been an extensively studied topic since the late 1970s. A lot of literatures have reported creep alloys, manufactured using different processing techniques. The present discussion revisits original work on understanding tensile wrought single-phase by Hayes et al and is aimed to develop steady state creep, through strain vs rat...

Magnesium (Mg) alloys possess the lowest density among structural materials, and their application in automotive aircraft industries might enhance fuel efficiency. The mechanical properties can be improved by addition of alloying elements. However, since Mg its are very susceptible to corrosion degradation, it is important study effect these elements on alloys’ behavior. In this study, 1 wt% ca...

Innovative 3D metal additive manufacturing (AM) techniques are revolutionizing the biomedical industry, since they enable production of porous structures and patient-customized parts biomedical-grade materials, such as Ti alloys. Surface treatment via plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) conventionally manufactured its alloys has been proved an outstanding approach to promote osseointegration im...

Modern engineering alloys have bespoke microstructures, where features such as precipitates are used to control properties. In many Ni-based alloys, carbo-nitride introduced strengthen and improve performance. These can be distributed throughout the microstructure niobium rich carbides often found at grain boundaries. this work, we combined energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) electron ba...

The growing significance of the material magnesium is closely associated with the progressive development in the field of automotive lightweight construction. The announcement of the VW AG of constructing an one-litre-automobile can be deemed to be a proof of the actuality of research and development in the field of magnesium alloy processing. That automobile, whose frame structure is widely ma...

Three wrought automotive Al-Mg-Si alloys (6xxx-series) were exposed to an on-road service environment and in six standard laboratory-accelerated exposure tests. Optical micrographs of all these exposures obtained the resulting corrosion morphology was quantified using fractal dimension analysis boundary length-to-area ratios. Additionally, images also used train a convolutional neural network (...

Additive manufacturing of near β-type Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloys using the laser powder bed fusion process (LPBF) opens up new avenues to tailor microstructure and subsequent macro-scale properties that aids in developing generation patient-specific, load-bearing orthopedic implants. In this work, we investigate a wide range LPBF parameter space optimize volumetric energy density, surface characterist...
