Application of polycrystalline hexagonal close packed (HCP) metals in engineering designs has been constrained by their anisotropic responses due to twinning and limited plasticity. In deformation, twins most often initiate at grain boundaries (GBs),...

In this paper, a perfluoropolyether (PFPE) micellar solution was effectively deposited on metallic substrates using a dip-coating process to enhance brass and nickel aluminum bronze (NAB) corrosion resistance. Particular attention was paid to the aes...

The impact of the artificial aging response on the microstructure and tensile mechanical properties of aluminum alloy 6156 was investigated. Specimens were artificially aged at three different artificial aging temperatures and for various holding tim...

Additive manufacturing (AM) of metals can be broadly accomplished via two defined technologies: powder bed fusion and directed energy deposition. During AM fabrication, the melted feedstock material experiences fast thermal cycling due to the layer-b...

Varying contents of carbon, titanium and boron were used in the base steel composition of 0.30 wt% Si, 2.0 wt% Mn, 0.006 wt% S, 0.03 wt% Nb, and 30–35 ppm N. Hot ductility tests were performed with Gleeble-3800, after the steel sample was in-si...

Some modern alloys, such as high-entropy alloys (HEAs), are emerging with greater acceleration due to their wide range of properties and applications. HEAs can be prepared from many metallurgical operations, but mechanical alloying is considered to b...
