Cold spray sounds almost too simple to work: fire a metal particle at a surface fast enough, and it sticks – no melting, no welding, just brute plastic deformation smashing a bond into place. That has been the textbook story for two decades. But in our latest paper with colleagues at Politecnico di Milano and … Continue reading Rethinking how cold spray really bonds dissimilar metals
Our recent work entitled "Rethinking radiation effects in materials science using the plasma-focused ion beam" published in the September issue of the historically prestigious Journal of Materials Science (Springer) has been awarded the cover page of the November 2022 issue (volume 57, number 41). A very nice editorial has been written by Professor C. Barry … Continue reading Using the Plasma FIB as a revolutionary tool for studying radiation effects in solids: cover page award!
With great pleasure I would like to share our most recent paper, which just got published at the Journal of Materials Science, edited by Professor C. Barry Carter. In this new article, we present an innovative methodology to rethink the way we investigate radiation effects in materials science: by using the Plasma Focused Ion Beam … Continue reading Rethinking Radiation Effects in Solids
