A milestone for Ti-based alloys in additive manufacturing

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ 1 Comment

In a great and recent work from my friend Christian Fleißner-Rieger -- doctoral researcher at Montanuniversität Leoben (Austria) -- has shown the discovery of a new and soft martensitic phase in a Ti-based model alloy obtained via additive manufacturing. Such a soft martensitic phase -- which the nucleation can be controlled via processing parameters -- … Continue reading A milestone for Ti-based alloys in additive manufacturing

Discovery of FeCo nanomagnets under irradiation in a high-entropy alloy

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ 1 Comment

A modified version of the well-known Cantor's alloy, the nanocrystalline CoCrCuFeNi high-entropy alloy was subjected to heavy-ion irradiation in situ within a TEM in our most recent study within the field of potential new nuclear materials. The stability of the alloy was investigated in a broad range of irradiation doses and temperature, revealing the nucleation … Continue reading Discovery of FeCo nanomagnets under irradiation in a high-entropy alloy

Key to recycling

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

From Montanuniversität Leoben: https://www.unileoben.ac.at/en/newsdetail/schluessel-zum-recycling For almost a century, commercial aluminum materials have been developed and optimized for high performance in specific applications within strict chemical confines of industrially established alloy classes. The requirements associated with sustainable lightweighting concepts call for new strategies that offer a broader property portfolio with a better trade-off between formability, achievable … Continue reading Key to recycling

MATLAB now fully integrated with SRIM!

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

We have completed -- once and for all -- a full integration of MATLAB with the SRIM code. Now the MATLAB code features the possibility to calculate displacement-per-atoms (DPA) in a wide variety of conditions and using all existing DPA methodologies (R.E. Stoller with quick-damage and Y. Zhang with full cascades). Calculations are performed in … Continue reading MATLAB now fully integrated with SRIM!
