Ni-Al-Ta alloys for high temperature abrasive coatings
In modern gas turbine engines, leakage of gas from the flow path reduces the efficiency of the engine. This leakage is currently ameliorated in the high-pressure turbine by using shrouded turbine blades, which give a high ... -
Effect of systematic variation in Co:Ni ratio on elemental partitioning, lattice misfit and oxidation behaviour of γ'-strengthened (Ni,Co)75Al5Ti5Cr15 (at.%) alloys
Ni-based superalloys currently in-service as aero-engine turbine discs are operating at the limit of their high-temperature capability. Next-generation turbine disc superalloys must be capable of sustaining the higher ... -
Extraction of mechanical properties over a range of strain rates from indentation data
A procedure is described for indentation creep plastometry. It is based on iterative numerical simulation of the indentation process, with repeated comparison between an experimental outcome and the corresponding model ... -
Tuning Strong Correlated Properties in EuTiO3 Thin Films Grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition
(2020-10-01)Transition metal ABO3 perovskite oxides possess many fascinating and technologically relevant phenomena such as superconductivity, multiferroicity, magnetoresistivity, and photovoltaics. To achieve and enhance these existing ...
