(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The focus of the research is to develop a consistent and repeatable method to evaluate the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of carbon fibers at high temperatures. Accurate measurement of the CTE of carbon fibers ...
-
(2020-11-26)Selective Laser Melting (SLM) can produce near-net shaped parts, but their sizes are limited by the small dimensions of current powder bed fusion machines. This research applies Electron Beam Welding (EBW) to join SLM’ed ...
-
(2010-10-12)High energy particle (neutron, proton and He ions) irradiation to materials typically leads to deteriorating properties, including void swelling, blistering, embrittlement, fracture and exfoliation of surfaces. This ...
-
(2022-07-25)Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are attractive candidates for lightweight applications owing to their high specific mechanical properties. These properties make magnesium comparable to many polymers in terms of weight while ...
-
(2022-07-25)Process-structure-property (PSP) relational linkages are necessary for designing, developing, and tailoring a material to exhibit desired properties, and ultimately, performance for a targeted application. Establishing PSP ...
-
(2022-12-01)Additive manufacturing of metallic materials has become exceedingly popular due to their potential to more efficiently fabricate near-net geometries than conventional manufacturing techniques. However, additive manufacturing ...
-
(2014-08-14)NiTiHf and NiTiZr high temperature shape memory alloys (HTSMAs) have drawn a great deal of attention as cheaper alternatives to Pt, Pd and Au alloyed NiTi-based HTSMAs while NiTiZr alloys also providing at least 20% weight ...
-
(2009-05-15)Copper has become the metal of choice for metallization, owing to its high electrical and thermal conductivity, relatively higher melting temperature and correspondingly lower rate of diffusivity. Most of the current studies ...
-
(2011-02-22)The microstructure resulting from the solidification of alloys can greatly affect their properties, making the prediction of solidification phenomena under arbitrary conditions a very important tool in the field of ...
-
(2019-11-01)Improving the strength, and the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys simultaneously through aging treatment, and grain refinement is a challenge as these two properties are mutually exclusive. In this work, we investigated ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The present work aims to reveal the microstructural evolution and post-processing mechanical behavior of difficult-to-work alloys upon severe plastic deformation. Severe plastic deformation is applied using equal channel ...
