Processing and micro-mechanical characterization of multi-component transition MC carbides in iron

Andreas Mortensen, Léa Deillon, Goran Zagar, Marta Fornabaio, Lionel Michelet

We prepare multi-component transition monocarbides of chosen composition by arc-melting together a pre-alloy of the transition metals and cast iron. Based on the elements Ti, Ta, V, Nb and W, 51 different binary, ternary and quaternary compositions are pro ...

Study and characterization of silicon metal alloys systems for the reactive infiltration process of ceramic matrix composites

Manoj Kondibhau Naikade

Silicon infiltrated silicon carbide (SiSiC) is one of the most promising and economical non-oxide ceramic matrix composites for high-temperature structural applications. In recent years infiltration by Si-alloys instead of pure Si has become popular to avo ...

3D metal freeform micromanufacturing

Andreas Mortensen, Yves Bellouard, Raphaël Charvet, Léa Deillon, Fatmah Ebrahim, Tao Yang, Luciano Borasi, Enrico Casamenti, Cyril Henri Dénéréaz, Sacha Jérémy Florentin Pollonghini

Despite remarkable progress made in recent years, producing freeform three-dimensional micro-components out of copper, silver or gold and their alloys remains an engineering challenge: current processes are either too slow to be economically viable, or pro ...

Microstructure observations in compacted clays subjected to thermal loading

Lyesse Laloui, Melis Sütman, Roba Houhou

The response of clayey materials to thermal variation has been the subject of extensive studies, given the wide range of engineering applications which involve subjecting soils to substantial temperature fluctuations. A number of hypotheses have been propo ...

Optimization of composition and structure of cemented carbide cutting tools

Samy Adjam

WC-Co cemented carbides are composites, which combine a hard phase consisting of WC grains and a metallic ductile phase as a binder. Their excellent mechanical properties, combining high hardness, toughness and refractory properties, make them excellent ma ...

Synthesis and Characterization of High-Photoactivity Electrodeposited Cu2O solar absorber by photoelectrochemistry and ultrafast spectroscopy

Michael Graetzel, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Jan Cornelius Brauer, Adriana Paracchino

We present a systematic study on the effects of electrodeposition parameters on the photoelectrochemical properties of Cu2O. The influence of deposition variables (temperature, pH, and deposition current density) on conductivity has been widely explored in ...

Additive micro-manufacturing of crack-free PDCs by two-photon polymerization of a single, low-shrinkage preceramic resin

Jürgen Brugger, Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Eirini Kakkava, Georgia Konstantinou, Nikolaos Nianias, Jieping Wang, Lorenz Hagelüken

Additive manufacturing (AM) methods are being integrated in ceramics fabrication either as the main manufacturing tool or for auxiliary purposes. By using polymers, powders and preceramic formulated materials, AM techniques are pushing towards higher resol ...

Yield strength and misfit volumes of NiCoCr and implications for short-range-order

William Curtin, Binglun Yin

The face-centered cubic medium-entropy alloy NiCoCr has received considerable attention for its good mechanical properties, uncertain stacking fault energy, etc, some of which have been attributed to chemical short-range order (SRO). Here, we examine the y ...

A critical assessment of experimental investigation of dynamic recrystallization of metallic materials

Roland Logé, Ke Huang

Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) often takes place during hot deformation of metallic materials, which then exerts significant influence on the final microstructures and mechanical properties of the formed components. A considerable number of published pape ...

Spark Plasma Sintering of Ceramics: From Modeling to Practice

Paul Bowen, Michael Stuer, Zhe Zhao

Summarizing the work of nearly a decade of research on spark plasma sintering (SPS), a review is given on the specificities and key factors to be considered in SPS of ceramic materials, based on the authors’ own research. Alumina is used primarily as a mod ...
