Embrittlement of Metal by Solute Segregation-Induced Amorphization [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2010
Impurities segregated to grain boundaries of a material essentially alter its fracture behavior. A prime example is sulfur segregation-induced embrittlement of nickel, where an observed relation between sulfur-induced amorphization of grain boundaries and embrittlement remains unexplained.

Detection of Solute Segregation at Grain Boundaries [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings, annual meeting, Electron Microscopy Society of America, 1980
Studies of grain boundary segregation in metallurgical systems are traditionally based upon the premise that grain boundaries are more likely sites for solute atoms than their surrounding grains. This idea is manifested in experimnental studies which distinguish the solute

A Model for Segregation of Chromatin after Replication: Segregation of Identical Flexible Chains in Solution [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2011
We study the segregation of two long chains from parallel but randomly twisted start conformations under good solvent conditions using Monte Carlo simulations to mimic chromatin segregation after replication in eukaryotic cells in the end of prophase. To measure the segregation process, we consider the center-of-mass separation between the two chains ...

Rapid assessment of interfacial stabilization mechanisms of metastable precipitates to accelerate high-temperature Al-alloy development

open access: yesMaterials Research Letters, 2022
Precipitate strengthened high-temperature alloys are currently used in safety-critical applications. Understanding precipitate stability and solute segregation mechanisms at high temperatures is key to designing high-strength alloys.

Applied Thermodynamics: Grain Boundary Segregation

open access: yesEntropy, 2014
Chemical composition of interfaces—free surfaces and grain boundaries—is generally described by the Langmuir–McLean segregation isotherm controlled by Gibbs energy of segregation.

Solute trapping and non-equilibrium microstructure during rapid solidification of additive manufacturing

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Solute transport during rapid and repeated thermal cycle in additive manufacturing (AM) leading to non-equilibrium, non-uniform microstructure remains to be studied.

Microstructure, Inclusions, and Elemental Distribution of a Compacted Graphite Iron Alloyed by Ce and La Rare Earth (RE) Elements

open access: yesMetals, 2022
This work investigates the microstructure and inclusions of a compacted graphite iron (CGI) alloyed by Ce and La rare earth (RE) elements. In our study, alloying elemental distribution and solute segregation were characterized by methods of secondary ion

A Low Cost Solution for Automatic Plastic Segregation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Engineering and Advanced Technology, 2020
Solid waste management is a universal issue that matters to every single person in the world. The solid waste management system is fundamentally labor intensive with very little collection efficiency. The available automatic plastic segregation techniques are based on thermal imaging and electrostatic properties of materials- these methods are ...

Macroscopic charge segregation in driven polyelectrolyte solutions

open access: yesSoft Matter, 2022
Using coarse-grained simulations we show that a polyelectrolyte solution when driven by a steady external electric field undergoes a nonequilibrium phase transition from a homogeneously mixed phase to a macroscopically charge-segregated phase.

Revealing the influence of solute segregation on the stability and strength of Cu Σ11 [110](113) symmetrical tilt grain boundary via first-principles investigation

open access: yesJournal of Materials Research and Technology, 2023
The stability and strength of the grain boundary (GB) structure are critical for the practical application of nanocrystals. This study systematically calculates the impact of the segregation of 26 transitional alloy elements on Cu Σ11 [110](113) GB using
