The Trump administration is pulling back billions of dollars in industrial development money for carbon capture and storage projects. That may force industries to actually cut emissions instead.

The presence of the NiSn intermetallics in the microstructure of the Sn–Ni–Zn alloys is explained by the fact that the directional solidification process occurs out of equilibrium, unlike what was ...

Many interesting microstructures have been found during directional solidification of peritectic alloys, which have drawn much attention since the last four decades 4. In the solidification of these ...

The microstructure and mechanical properties of cast materials are strongly dependent on the thermal history during solidification process. The global casting industry has faced major challenges, i.e.

The effect of high magnetic field on the directional solidification structure of Al-18 at.%Ni peritectic alloy was studied. In the absence of magnetic field, the alloy forms a dendritic structure ...

Cornell researchers have uncovered a way to control these transformations in metal solidification by adjusting alloy composition, ultimately leading to stronger, more reliable metal parts. The ...

At the Swiss Light Source SLS, researchers have developed a pioneering X-ray technique to probe the 3D orientation of a material's building blocks at the nanoscale.

A team of researchers has developed a printing technique capable of forming a periodic nano/microstructure on the surface of a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) slab and easily transferring it onto the ...

Investigations leading to high-quality surfaces and optimized properties in laser remelted Al–Mg–Sc alloys remain scarce. Laser surface remelting (LSR) has been used for the final treatment of these ...

Additionally, the uniform microstructure and chemical composition of alloys due to higher cooling rates can decrease the activity and probability of local micro-galvanic corrosion. Solidification at ...
