Comparing spatio-temporal networks of intermittent avalanche events: Experiment, model, and empirical data

Relaxational processes in many complex systems often occur in the form of avalanches resulting from internal cascades from across the system scale. Here, we probe the space, time, and magnitude signatures of avalanching behavior using a network of temporal ...

Combining experiments and modeling to explore the solid solution strengthening of high and medium entropy alloys

William Curtin, Céline Varvenne

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 ...

Early Stages of Precipitation In Aluminum Alloys by First-Principles and Machine-Learning Atomistic Simulations

Daniele Giofré

Age hardening induced by the formation of (semi)-coherent precipitate phases is crucial for the processing and final properties of the widely used Al-6000 alloys despite the early stages of precipitation are still far from being fully understood. This cruc ...

Numerical Modeling of Tube Forming by HPTR Cold Pilgering Process

Roland Logé

For new fast-neutron sodium-cooled Generation IV nuclear reactors, the candidate cladding materials for the very strong burn-up are ferritic and martensitic oxide dispersion strengthened grades. Classically, the cladding tube is cold formed by a sequence o ...

In situ X-ray Diffraction during Casting: Study of Hot Tearing in Al-Zn alloys

Jean-Marie Drezet, Güven Kurtuldu, Bastien Gilbert Pierre Mireux

During solidification of metallic alloys, coalescence corresponds to the formation of solid bridges between grains when both solid and liquid phases are percolated. As such, it represents a key transition with respect to the mechanical behaviour of solidif ...

Influence of microstructural heterogeneity on the scaling between flow stress and relative density in microcellular Al-4.5 %Cu

Andreas Mortensen, Yves Conde

We explore the influence of the metal microstructure on the compressive flow stress of replicated microcellular 400-mu m pore size Al-4.5 wt%Cu solidified at two different solidification cooling rates, in the as-cast and T6 conditions. It is found that the ...

Isothermal Ageing of SnAgCu Solder Alloys: Three-Dimensional Morphometry Analysis of Microstructural Evolution and Its Effects on Mechanical Response

John Botsis, Joël Cugnoni, Milad Maleki

Due to the high homologous temperature and fast cooling rates, the microstructures of SnAgCu (SAC) solders are in a meta-stable state in most applications, which is the cause of significant microstructural evolution and continuous variation in the mechanic ...

Flow over Hills: A Large-Eddy Simulation of the Bolund Case

Marc Parlange, Jiannong Fang, Chad Higgins, Marc Diebold

Simulation of local atmospheric flows around complex topography is important for several applications in wind energy (short-term wind forecasting and turbine siting and control), local weather prediction in mountainous regions and avalanche risk assessment ...

Simulation de la formation des microstructures dans les superalliages à base de nickel de type AM1 durant la solidification et les traitements thermiques

Luc Rougier

Nickel base superalloys are used for the manufacturing of monocrystalline turbine blades, due to their outstanding mechanical properties at high temperature. The mechanical properties strongly depend on the presence of γ’ precipitates in the γ matrix. Impr ...

RESIDUAL STRESSES IN AS-CAST BILLETS: NEUTRON DIFFRACTION MEASUREMENT AND THERMOMECHANICAL MODELING

Jean-Marie Drezet

Stress relief treatment is often required prior to sawing aluminum DC cast products in order to prevent crack formation and significant safety concerns due to the presence of high residual stresses generated during casting. Numerical models have been devel ...

Effects of Ni additions, trace elements and solidification kinetics on microstructure formation in Sn-0.7Cu solder

Michel Rappaz

Five ternary Sn-0.7Cu-xNi alloys with nickel contents in the range 0-1000 ppm have been directionally solidified at different growth rates. The competition between primary tetragonal Sn cells/dendrites, eutectic and primary Cu6Sn5 is interpreted with phase ...

Experimental and numerical analysis of the hot tearing susceptibility of a CuCrZr alloy

Jean-Marie Drezet

The precipitation hardened CuCrZr alloy is used in fusion machines for the heat sink of intensely cooled plasma facing components (PFC) due to its good thermal and mechanical properties. Albeit, the feedback from its application in Tore Supra (French tokam ...

Porosity in Aluminum Alloys : Visualization, Characterization, and Modeling

Porosity is one of the major defects in castings because it reduces the mechanical properties of a cast piece [1]. Porosity formation results from the effect of two concomitant mechanisms, namely solidification shrinkage and segregation/precipitation of ga ...

Characterization and modeling of twinned dendrite growth

The formation of feathery grains during semi-continuous casting of Al-alloys [1, 2] is an interesting problem from both practical and theoretical points of view. These structures are formed by a lamellar sequence of twinned and untwinned regions separated ...

Two-phase modelling of hot tearing in aluminium alloys using a semi-coupled method

Vincent Mathier

Hot tearing is one of the most severe defects observed in castings, e.g. in billets or sheet ingots of aluminum alloys produced by DC casting. It is due to both tensile strains and a lack of interdendritic feeding in the mushy zone. In order to predict thi ...
