Further improving the corrosion resistance of Al-based alloys for aerospace applications with Cr-free treatments

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

A great paper and research led by my friend Oscar M. Prada Ramirez recently shows that the corrosion resistance of aerospace grade Al-based alloys can be significantly improved using Ce-nanoparticles in an anodization treatment using tartaric-sulfuric acid environments! The aluminium alloy series 2xxx with its anodic layer filled with Ce nanoparticles! A pathway to reduce … Continue reading Further improving the corrosion resistance of Al-based alloys for aerospace applications with Cr-free treatments

With a great pleasure and happiness, I would like to congratulate Professor Stefan Pogatscher for achieving great success in its first place in the 2022 Houskapreiss All Starts! Professor Pogatscher led a team of rising stars (Dr. Stemper and Dr. Schmid) into the development of a new class of aluminium alloys with potential to revolutionize … Continue reading Houskapreis 2022 All Starts: First place to Professor Pogatscher!

The solar system as a new frontier for materials at extremes

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

Sharing my new seminar slides with the community on the challenges to design and evaluate new materials for extraterrestrial applications! This research has been only possible via an international collaboration with the brilliant metallurgy minds present at the Montanuniversität Leoben! Super interesting new works coming very very soon! Available at the ResearchGate! (LA-UR-22-23107) https://www.researchgate.net/publication/359771021_The_solar_system_as_a_new_frontier_for_materials_at_extremes

Aluminium alloy research could benefit manned space missions

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

Great news coverage of our article by Tim Oscroft! https://www.hud.ac.uk/news/2020/december/alloy-research-manned-space-missions-benefits/ Manned space missions in spacecraft made of aluminium that is light yet resistant to radiation could be a step nearer following research involving a world-leading facility at the University of Huddersfield. The MIAMI-2 – Microscopes and Ion Accelerators for Materials Investigations – facility has helped Dr Matheus Tunes investigate … Continue reading Aluminium alloy research could benefit manned space missions

Cutting edge Aluminium metallurgy!

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

Under the supervision of Professor Stefan Pogatscher and in collaboration with a strong scientific network, I am delighted to share our two "most fresh" papers pushing up the frontiers of Aluminium Metallurgy. The first "Age-hardening response of AlMgZn alloys with Cu and Ag additions" is a comprehensive assessment on the heat-treatment response and mechanical properties … Continue reading Cutting edge Aluminium metallurgy!
