First 3D look at magnesium alloys reveals stress-absorbing structures for lighter, stronger, fuel-efficient cars.

In a study that advances lightweight magnesium alloys for more fuel-efficient, affordable vehicles, University of Michigan ...

Materials research: Surprise at the grain boundary Date: October 29, 2024 Source: Ruhr-University Bochum Summary: Using state-of-the-art microscopy and simulation techniques, an international ...

Explore the study from the IMDEA Materials Institute focusing on microstructure control in 3D printed Ni-based superalloys like IN939 ...

An example is the orientation of magnetic moments within antiferromagnetic materials. Here, the magnetic moments are aligned in alternating directions when going from atom to atom.

Most technological materials have a polycrystalline structure: they are composed of different crystals, where atoms are arranged in a regular lattice. These crystals do not have the same orientation ...

Grain orientation in polycrystalline ferroelectrics has an important effect on the properties of the material, such as the electrocaloric effect (ECE). This paper design a BaTiO3 polycrystalline model ...

“To obtain a polycrystalline material that can be used effectively in industry, control and measurement of grain orientation distribution is required,” Professor Noritaka Usami said.
