Introduction/Purpose Reversible diffusionless first-order phase transformations are a fundamental part of phase change materials and shape memory alloys [1]. Some of these materials even possess useful physical characteristics that show abrupt changes e.g. in their electrical[2] and magnetic [3] pol...

The present work explores the concept of high-entropy alloys to design FeCoNi-based oxides suitable for functional applications. Fundamental changes in electronic behaviour produced by metal substitution and variable oxygen content were screened to investigate the potential of these materials for sp...

Modelling of wire-arc additive manufacturing process is an effective way for adapting the optimum parameters as well as understanding and managing the sequences of layer-by-layer deposition. Some of these parameters such as toolpath, deposition intervals and heat source power play important roles in...

Volcanic ash (VA) clouds in flight corridors present a significant threat to aircraft operations as VA particles can cause damage to gas turbine engine components that lead to a reduction of engine performance and compromise flight safety. In the last decade, research has mainly focused on processes...

In this work, a complementary microstructural and optical approach is used to define processing conditions favorable for the formation of deep boron-related acceptor centers that may provide a pathway for achieving an intermediate band behavior in highly B-doped 3C-SiC. The crystallinity, boron solu...
