Enhanced Densification of Cavitated Dispersion- Strengthened Aluminum by Thermal Cycling

We report experimental data of creep cavity shrinkage for dispersion-strengthened-cast aluminum with about 23 vol pct submicron Al2O3 dispersoids, annealed isothermally or subjected to thermal cycling without applied stress. Thermal cycling is found to increase the rate of densification by a factor of 3 to 5.5 relative to isothermal annealing at the upper cycling temperature, allowing for recov...

Impact of aluminum wire and ribbon bonding technologies on D2PAK package reliability during thermal cycling applications

Boron-nitride and aluminum-nitride "Pringles" and flapping motion.

Motivated by the recent successful synthesis of a new nanocarbon, namely, a warped, double-concave graphene "Pringle" (Nat. Chem., 2013, 5, 739), we investigate properties of warped boron-nitride (BN) and aluminum-nitride (AlN) analogues, i.e., the non-planar B40N40H30 and Al40N40H30 "Pringles" using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Particular attention is placed on the effect of n...
