Under common processing conditions, both dilute and complex concentrated alloys are often realized as random alloys, with no correlation in the occupancy of lattice sites by the constituent atom types. The current thesis primary addresses two problems in r ...
The yield strength of random metal alloys, i.e. alloys with random occupation of the crystalline lattice sites by the elemental constituent atoms all considered as solutes, is primarily understood as controlled by solute/dislocation interactions. Solute-so ...
The body centered cubic (BCC) high entropy alloys (HEAs) MoNbTaW and MoNbTaVW show exceptional strength retention up to 1900K. The mechanistic origin of the retained strength is unknown yet is crucial for finding the best alloys across the immense space of ...
Hot deformation behavior of the extruded Mg-6Gd-3Y (GW63) and Mg-6Gd-3Y-1Ag (GW63-1Ag) alloys was assessed by shear punch testing (SPT) method in the temperature range of 623 K to 723 K and shear strain rate of 1.6 x 10(-2)to 1.3 x 10(-1) s(-1). Microstruc ...
The high-entropy alloy (HEA) concept was based on the idea that high mixing entropy can promote formation of stable single-phase microstructures. During the past 15 years, various alloy systems have been explored to identify HEA systems with improved prope ...
Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies have enabled the manufacturing of parts with complex geometries that were previously not feasible with conventional manufacturing. Unfortunately, many commercial engineering alloys (with the exception of alloy ...
Solute accelerated cross-slip of pyramidal < c + a > screw dislocations has recently been recognized as a crucial mechanism in enhancing the ductility of solid-solution Mg alloys. In pure Mg, cross-slip is ineffective owing to the energy difference between ...
Single-crystalline cast aluminium microwires with a diameter near 15 are characterised by Laue microdiffraction. A microwire in the as-cast condition exhibits a misorientation below over a length of 500 . The measured density of geometrically necessary dis ...
High-entropy alloys are random alloys with five or more components, often near equi-composition, that often exhibit excellent mechanical properties. Guiding the design of new materials across the wide composition space requires an ability to compute necess ...
The mechanical properties due to solid solution strengthening are explored within the single phase face-centered cubic (fcc) domain of the Co-Cr-Fe-Mn Ni high entropy alloy (HEA) system. This is achieved by combining an efficient and reproducible metallurg ...
