Improved Strength and Corrosion Resistance of Ti–50Zr Alloy Through Heat Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This work systematically analyzes the effects of heat treatment on mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of Ti‐50Zr alloy produced via vacuum arc melting. Microstructure transforms from coarse lamellar α phase in as‐cast condition to fine and uniformly distributes acicular α′ phase in heat‐treatment state.

Introduction: Mobilities and Forced Migration

open access: yesMobilities, 2011
Abstract Whether precipitated by political or environmental factors, human displacement can be more fully understood by attending to the ways in which a set of bodily, material, imagined and virtual mobilities and immobilities interact to produce population movement.
