In the current work, the evolutions of grain and dislocation microstructures are investigated on the basis of plane strain tension and simple shear tests for an interstitial free steel (DC06) and a 6000 series aluminum ...

The detection of ductile damage by image-based methods is time-consuming and typically probes only small areas. It is therefore of great interest for various cold forming processes, such as sheet-bulk metal forming, to ...

In this review, the phenomenon of grain boundary (GB) wetting by the second solid phase is analyzed for the high entropy alloys (HEAs). Similar to the GB wetting by the liquid phase, the GB wetting by the second solid phase ...

Metal forming of shape memory alloys (SMA) can be challenging since these are very often brittle due to their intermetallic character. However, formability is often needed not only for realising the desired geometry but ...

Owing to the low formability of single-crystal nickel-based materials, single-crystal components are typically cast. Subsequently, a multi-stage heat treatment is carried out in order to partially compensate the dendrite ...

Magnetic domain structure of magnetic shape memory alloy was observed using backscattered electron detector in scanning electron microscope and using Fresnel imaging in transmission electron microscope. The sample subjected ...

In this work, the influence of mechanical stress on magnetic properties and electric resistance of a Ni-Mn- In alloy was studied. It is shown that compression of Ni-Mn-In polycrystalline specimens brings about a stressinduced ...
