Electropolishing of Cu, Ni, Al alloy

Oxidation resistance of graphene-coated Cu and Cu/Ni alloy.

The ability to protect refined metals from reactive environments is vital to many industrial and academic applications. Current solutions, however, typically introduce several negative effects, including increased thickness and changes in the metal physical properties. In this paper, we demonstrate for the first time the ability of graphene films grown by chemical vapor deposition to protect th...

Electron Microscopy Study of Stress - induced Acicular γ ' Martensite in Cu - Al - Ni Alloy

spear-like martensite thermally formed in the same alloy in several respects such as in shape, lattice invariant shear, habit plane and orientation relationship, even though both have the same crystal structure and lattice parameters. The lattice invariant strain of the martensite was found to be stacking faults on the basal plane, and a defectless region was observed at the middle of the marte...

The Thermomechanical Behaviour of a Metastable Cu-Al-Ni Single Crystal Alloy

This paper presents the results from an experimental and theoretical analysis of the thermomechanical behaviour of a metastable P-phase single crystal alloy of composition Cu 28.3at% A1 3.8at% Ni. The stress-strain behaviour of this single crystal material was investigated experimentally by tensile testing and this data was used to characterise the stress1 temperature martensite phase equilibri...

Crystallization kinetics of Al±La±Ni amorphous alloy

The crystallization kinetics of an Al89La6Ni5 amorphous alloy were studied by thermal analysis. Both continuous heating and isothermal DSC traces showed that the Al89La6Ni5 amorphous alloy undergoes a two-stage crystallization process upon heating. The ®rst transformation, in which fcc-Al precipitates from the amorphous matrix, is a nucleation and three-dimensional di€usion-controlled growth pr...
