Using lightweight alloys (alloys with high strength to weight ratio) is essential in transportation industries as it reduces the overall weight of the vehicles and their fuel consumption. Mg is the lightest structural metal with density of about one-fourth ...
The integration of 3D printing technologies into the production of shape memory alloys (SMAs) has opened new windows in engineering and enabled the manufacture of complex, customized components with unprecedented geometrical complexity and precision. This ...
To model rupture dynamics, a friction law must be assumed. Commonly used constitutive laws include slip- weakening laws which are characterized by a drop from static to dynamic frictional stress over a critical slip distance. Within this framework, the pre ...
Combining angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations, we addressed the surface electronic structure of bent SrTiO 3 (STO) (001) wafers. Using a custom-made device, we observe that the low-dimensional states that em ...
Micron-scale shaped 2D or 2.5D structures made of silver or copper can be produced by combining silicon photolithographic etching with metal casting by pressure infiltration. This combination of two classical pro-cesses, one from semiconductor fabrication ...
The current economic and ecological situation encourages the use of steel to push the technological limits and offer more cost-effective products. The enhancement of steel properties like wear, corrosion, and oxidation resistance is achieved by the additio ...
The urgent need for clean energy coupled with the exceptional promise of hydrogen (H) as a clean fuel is driving development of new metals resistant to hydrogen embrittlement. Experiments on new fcc high entropy alloys present a paradox: these alloys absor ...
