Designing materials that are both lightweight and exceptionally robust has always been a goal for engineers. However, ...

Researchers at the Department of Applied Physics, Northwestern Polytechnical University, in Xi'an, China, are engaged in revealing the mysteries of solidification process and the development of new ...

Crystal growth and solidification dynamics constitute a critical domain within materials science, where the interplay between thermodynamic driving forces and kinetic constraints determines the ...

The new research has developed a computational model to reveal how solute trapping occurs during the rapid solidification process in additive manufacturing (AM). Effect of solute trapping on the rapid ...

Researchers at Queen Mary University of London, in collaboration with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Centre of Excellence for Advanced Materials, and University of Leicester, have developed a ...

Different methods are employed to vary cooling rates for magnesium alloys during the solidification process from liquid to solid phase and after the solution/aging heat treatment. These include using ...

Peritectic solidification involves the nucleation and growth of the primary phase, the peritectic reaction of the primary phase with the remnant liquid phase, and the microstructural evolution of the ...

Understanding how dislocations (line defects in the crystal structure) occur when 3D-printing metals has been unclear to materials scientists. Understanding when and how dislocations form in ...
