A team at Tohoku University have perfected a new heat treatment technique with rapid heating and asymmetrical cooling processes in metallic glass. This technique enabled the team to induce a gradient ...
Gradient structure optimisation in metallic materials centres on the intentional variation of microstructural features—grain size, phase composition or defect density—across a specimen to achieve a ...
The classification of heterogeneous/gradient materials and the corresponding laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) methods are introduced. According to the mode of interface composition transition (discrete ...
Machining trapezoidal grooves into copper before cold rolling creates tunable gradient microstructures, with simulations and ...
Scientists are smashing metallic micro-cubes to make them ultrastrong and tough by rearranging their nanostructures upon impact. The team reports that firing a tiny, nearly perfect cube of silver onto ...
