The 6000 series (Al-Mg-Si) aluminum alloys are relevant to the automotive industry due to their low density, good formability and cost-effectiveness relative to their 7000 …
Abstract of “Investigations on mechanical property - microstructure correlations in CMC Coatings” by Sugeetha Vasudevan, Ph.D., Brown University, May 2016 Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are being …
Mo-Si-B alloys are possible candidates for high-temperature applications beyond the capabilities of Ni-based superalloys. Specifically, multiphase Mo-Si-B alloys with a Mo solid solution matrix and …
Current aircraft jet engines use nickel-based superalloys in the hot sections. Their operation temperature is about 1050°C. To enhance performance and fuel efficiency, materials that …
Sn, which offers large theoretical capacity (994 mAh/g), is a potentially useful anode material in lithium-ion batteries. However, Sn exhibits irreversible capacity loss through mechanical …
Whiskers are conductive filaments that spontaneously form on Sn-based coatings. They are a critical reliability issue as they can cause short circuits in electronic systems. …
With increasing awareness of lead's harmful effects to the environment and human health, there is a large drive toward lead free products. One of the …
