The properties of steel can be improved in terms of fatigue, weldability, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, ductility, and tensile strength by either alloy addition or heat treatment processes.

During eutectic solidification, a mixture of two or more solids self-assemble, forming composite microstructures ranging from ...

Mechanical properties of composite materials can be improved by tailoring their microstructures. Optimal microstructures of composites, which ensure desired properties of composite materials, can be ...

Solid-state batteries are considered next-generation energy storage technology as they promise higher energy density and safety than lithium-ion batteries with a liquid electrolyte. However, major ...

Description: The goal of this project is to create statistically equivalent RVEs of composite microstructures using machine learning and spatial statistics for more accurate and efficient multiscale ...

Recently, Dr. HUO Zhipeng and his student CHEN Zuoyang from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences developed novel PbWO 4 filler-reinforced B 4 C/HDPE composites with ...

For the first time, researchers have used a single-step, laser-based method to produce small, precise hybrid microstructures of silver and flexible silicone. This innovative laser processing ...

Federal-Mogul’s “lean tool steel” contains a higher proportion of chromium than standard tool steels, cost-effectively adding carbides that create a multiple-phase composite microstructure. Valve seat ...

A Detroit entrepreneur surprised university engineers recently when he invented a heat-treatment that makes steel 7 percent stronger than any steel on record -- in less than 10 seconds. In fact, the ...

In a recent breakthrough, Dr. HUO Zhipeng and his student CHEN Zuoyang from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a new class of PbWO 4 ...
