Spinel Protective Coatings for Solid Oxide Cell (SOC) Interconnects (ICs)

Samaneh Daviran

Abstract The degradation of metal interconnects (ICs) in Solid Oxide Cells (SOCs) primarily results from chromium (Cr) oxide scale growth on stainless-steel substrates, causing ohmic loss and air-side electrode poisoning by Cr. This thesis addresses these ...

Tensile and creep-rupture response of additively manufactured nickel-based superalloy CM247LC

Christian Leinenbach, Rafal Wróbel

Tensile and creep rupture properties of crack-free CM247LC alloy, processed via laser powder bed fusion, have been characterised in this work at temperatures up to 1000 & DEG;C. The subject alloy matches or even exceeds the tensile performance of its direc ...

The influence of lattice misfit on screw and edge dislocation-controlled solid solution strengthening in Mo-Ti alloys

William Curtin, Carolina Baruffi, You Rao

Mo-Ti alloys form solid solutions over a wide range of compositions, with lattice misfit parameters increasing significantly with titanium content. This indicates a strong increase in the critical stress for edge dislocation motion. Here, we probe the tran ...

Atomic scale volume and grain boundary diffusion elucidated by in situ STEM

Johann Michler, Amit Sharma, Laszlo Pethö, Xavier Maeder

Diffusion is one of the most important phenomena studied in science ranging from physics to biology and, in abstract form, even in social sciences. In the field of materials science, diffusion in crystalline solids is of particular interest as it plays a p ...

Rapid grain boundary diffusion in foraminifera tests biases paleotemperature records

Lukas Baumgartner, Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Arthur Adams, Deyanira Graciela Cisneros Lazaro, Jinming Guo

The paleoseawater temperature record from the oxygen isotope compositions of fossil foraminifera tests may be biased by up to about 1 degrees C due to grain-boundary diffusion alone, according to isotope exchange experiments on foraminifera tests. The oxyg ...

Origin of the enhanced pseudo-elasticity of additively manufactured Fe-17Mn-5Si-4Ni-10Cr-(V, C) shape memory alloy fabricated by laser powder bed fusion

Christian Leinenbach, Irene Ferretto

This study investigated the origin of the enhanced pseudo-elasticity of additively manufactured vanadium carbide-containing Fe-based shape memory alloys. The aged samples with two different starting microstructures, as-built and solution-treated, showed co ...

Simple shear extrusion versus equal channel angular pressing: A comparative study on the microstructure and mechanical properties of an Mg alloy

Cyril Cayron, Roland Logé, Aryan Rezaei Rad

Two severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques of simple shear extrusion (SSE) and equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) were employed to process an extruded Mg -6Gd -3Y -1.5Ag (wt%) alloy at 553 K for 1, 2, 4 and 6 passes. The microstructural evolutions ...

Information Spectrum Converse for Minimum Entropy Couplings and Functional Representations

Yanina Yurina Shkel

Given two jointly distributed random variables (X,Y), a functional representation of X is a random variable Z independent of Y, and a deterministic function g(⋅,⋅) such that X=g(Y,Z). The problem of finding a minimum entropy functional representation is kn ...
