Understanding the Yield Behaviour of Single Crystal Ni-based Superalloys
(2021-08-02)Nickel-based superalloys are the material of choice for turbine applications due to their superior high-temperature strength capabilities. This has been attributed to the γ' precipitates which have the L1₂-ordered crystal ... -
Spin-mixing and transport through superconducting interlayers in ferromagnetic Josephson junctions
The creation of spin-polarization in the superconducting state raises possibilities for low-energy logic and memory elements. Supercurrents of spin-aligned triplet Cooper pairs (or ’triplet pairs’) can be generated at ... -
The Electrochemistry of Corrosion Inhibitors in the Oil and Gas Industry
(2022-07-01)For corrosion control in the petroleum industry the use of acid corrosion inhibitors is a necessity. In particular alkynol inhibitors are used in protecting oilfield steels. A future business need is the development of ... -
The Incorporation of Particles Suspended in the Electrolyte into Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation Coatings
(2021-07-23)This work describes an investigation into the mechanisms responsible for the incorporation of particles and fibres suspended in the electrolyte during plasma electrolytic oxidation, and provides a comparison of the processing ...
