Microstructure evolution in metallic alloys encompasses the processes by which grain structures, dislocation networks and phase distributions change under mechanical and thermal stimuli. During ...

Advanced materials derive their exceptional properties from the intimate interplay between atomic bonding and the evolution of internal structure during processing or service. Bonding mechanisms span ...

This review shows how grain refinement, dynamic recrystallization, phase transformations, and controlled precipitation enable ...

A team of international scientists headed by Prof. Marco Salvalaglio from TUD–Dresden University of Technology has found out that internal stresses—not just interface energy—play a key role in shaping ...

AA2024 is a heat-treatable aluminum-copper alloy that comprises aluminum, copper, magnesium, silicon, iron, and manganese. It provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, high tensile strength, and ...
