Results indicate that grain boundary strength and motion, accommodated by either shear-coupled migration (SCM) or grain boundary sliding (GBS), strongly varies with pressure resulting in grain ...

Using state-of-the-art microscopy and simulation techniques, an international research team systematically observed how iron atoms alter the structure of grain boundaries in titanium. They were in for ...

(Nanowerk News) Using state-of-the-art microscopy and simulation techniques, an international research team systematically observed how iron atoms alter the structure of grain boundaries in titanium.

Researchers are developing grain boundary engineering to control the microstructure of ceramics, opening new applications in ...

Materials are often considered to be one phase, but many engineering materials contain two or more phases, improving their properties and performance. These two-phase materials have inclusions, called ...

The orientations of these infinitesimally small separations between individual “grains” of a polycrystalline material have big effects. In a material such as aluminum, these collections of grains ...

Researchers from City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK), in collaboration with experts from local and overseas universities, have reshaped scientists’ fundamental understanding of the kinetic ...
