The present work reports the design of a cast ternary Al-3.8Ni-0.5Cr eutectic alloy for high-temperature applications with a minor Zr addition (0.15 at %). In the peak-aged condition (375 °C for 20 h), the alloy exhibited ...

This research investigates the impact of shoulder-workpiece separation on the friction stir channeling of copper, comparing two distinct tool designs. One design includes a clearance between the tool shoulder and workpiece; ...

Innovations in impact-resistant materials design inspired by nacre’s hierarchical “brick and mortar” structure have ushered a new era of lightweight biomimetics with exceptional strength and toughness. However, the role ...

Stainless steel (SS), particularly SS316L, is extensively utilised across industries, from consumer products to biomedical applications, due to its superior mechanical and chemical properties. However, in critical settings ...

Transition metal telluride compositions are explored extensively for their unique magnetic behavior. Since chromium telluride (Cr2Te3) exhibits a near-room-temperature phase transition, the material can be effectively used ...

In the present investigation, the formation of nanocrystalline bi-alkali halide (NaCl+KCl) obtained by combined low temperature (cryomilling) with room temperature (RT) milling was reported. The cryomilling, which is endowed ...

Slippery AA 5083 alloy surfaces were fabricated by using ground (mean roughness-Ra = 45±2 µm), polished (Ra = 9±3 µm) and hot embossed micro-patterned specimens, and coating them with silicone oils of varying viscosities ...

The work herein presents the designing of two γʹ strengthened high entropy alloys guided by density function theory (DFT) and thermodynamics calculations with compositions Co34Ni34Cr12Al8Nb3Ti4Fe5 and Co31.5Ni31.5Cr12Al8Nb3Ti4Fe10 ...

Surface features’ morphology is crucial in designing lubricant-infused slippery surfaces (LIS). Microcavities were hypothesized to provide lower physical pinning, reduced droplet normal adhesion, and superior lubricant ...
