A sharp-interface model employing the extended finite element method is presented. It is designed to capture the prominent γ-γ′ phase transformation in nickel-based superalloys. The novel combination of crystal plasticity ...

In this study, digital image correlation was used for two widely different cases to assess the potential and the limitations of the technique for applications at high temperatures. Specifically, digital image correlation ...

Deep cryogenic treatment of tool steels, incorporated in conventional hardening and tempering, has been a topic of intensive research in recent years. Yet, the governing microstructural mechanisms involved in the deep ...

Titanium–tantalum based alloys can demonstrate a martensitic transformation well above 100 °C, which makes them attractive for shape memory applications at elevated temperatures. In addition, they provide for good workability ...
