We present and discuss angle-resolved photoemission measurements from the (111) and (100) faces of CuAu single crystals containing 10 at. %%u oA u in th ebul k, togethe rwit hcomputation sof complex-energy bands and densities of states in the Cu90Aulo random alloy. Our calculations permit (.' a good understanding of the shifts and smearings in t e spectrum of Cu arising from the addition of Au ...

The increasing incidence of nosocomial infections caused by glycopeptide-resistant enterococci is a global concern. Enterococcal species are also difficult to eradicate with existing cleaning regimens; they can survive for long periods on surfaces, thus contributing to cases of reinfection and spread of antibiotic-resistant strains. We have investigated the potential use of copper alloys as bac...

Semisolid metal (SSM) processing or Thixoforming is a new method for forming alloys in the semisolid state to near net shaped products. All the alloys which have been used to date for thixoforming were developed originally for either casting or forging operations. Thus, there is a lack of specific alloys for semi solid processing that present good fluidity, low viscosity and small grain size. T...

Glassy alloy rods with diameters up to 1.5mm exhibiting a large supercooled liquid region before crystallization and high mechanical strength were formed in Cu-Zr and Cu-Hf binary alloy systems by the copper mold casting method. The large supercooled liquid region exceeding 40K was obtained in the composition range of 30 to 70 at%Zr and 35 to 60 at%Hf. The largest value of the supercooled liqui...

The purpose of this paper is to optimize the EDM parameters to get the better surface finish on the Titanium alloys Ti6AL4V. The continuous advancement of the alloy is fulfilling the demand of the industry but for advance material like Titanium alloys Ti6AL4V partially adopted by industries cause of the difficulties in machining. Non Conventional machining process like Spark Erosion Electrical ...

The surface topography developed on copper-based and ferrous alloys after being sputtered in a glow discharge lamp and in an ion microprobe was studied by means of a scanning electron microscope and an ion microprobe mass analyser. The observed surface topography, though obtained under completely different conditions, was found to be similar to that predicted by the theory of Stewart and Thompson.
