Finite Element Analysis of Equal Channel Angular Pressing of Al-Mg 5083 Alloy
Bulk nanostructured materials represent the application of nanotechnology in the engineering material area. Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) and in particular Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) are efficient and low cost top-down methods for producing

Effect of processing on fracture toughness of silicon carbide as determined by Vickers indentations [PDF]
Several alpha-SiC materials were processed by hot isostatic pressing (HIPing) and by sintering an alpha-SiC powder containing boron and carbon. Several beta-SiC materials were processed by HIPing a beta-SiC powder with boron and carbon additions.

Dynamics of structural defects and plasticity: models and numerical implementation for dynamical problems [PDF]
We report the plasticity model with explicit description of kinetics of the material defects (dislocations, grain boundaries). This method becomes especially effective for computation of the dynamical deformation of materials at high strain rates because

Next‐Generation Aerogel Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction Reaction
ABSTRACT Aerogel‐based electrocatalysts have become a groundbreaking class of materials for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), distinguished by their ultralight nature, pore networks, and outstanding electrical conductivity. Their interconnected three‐dimensional frameworks offer abundant active sites, efficient diffusion channels, and continuous ...

A double intercritical annealing strategy is proposed to tailor the multiphase microstructure and mechanical response of a medium‐Mn steel. The treatment produces an ultrafine mixture of ferrite, martensite and multiple austenite populations with graded thermal and mechanical stability, formed through austenite reversion and controlled retransformation.

Modelling microstructure evolution during equal channel angular pressing of magnesium alloys using cellular automata finite element method [PDF]
Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) is one of the most popular methods of obtaining ultrafine grained (UFG) metals. However, only relatively short billets can be processed by ECAP due to force limitation.
