The figure shows the evolution of the microstructure of the melt pool under the influence of the simulated transient temperature field. Nucleated grains are represented in pink-purple plots, while ...

The morphology of eutectic silicon in solidification microstructure is critical to the performance of Al-Si-based alloys. Simulating eutectic Si phase formation has been a challenge in ICME ...

Understanding the relationship among “composition-processing-microstructure-properties” is the central theme of materials science and engineering 1. Historically, the design of new materials has ...

For thousands of years, humans have combined metals to collectively harness properties found in individual components, producing such practical materials as bronze, brass and, more recently, steel.

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 ...
