TiAl-BASED ALLOYS: PRESENT STATUS AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES
نویسنده
چکیده
Intermetallic TiAl-based alloys represent an important class of high temperature structural materials providing a unique set of physical and mechanical properties that can lead to substantial payoffs in aircraft engines, industrial gas turbines and automotive industry. The present status and future perspectives of TiAl-based alloys are reviewed from the point of view of alloy design, processing technologies, applications and prospects. Chemical composition, the typical microstructure and some mechanical properties of several generations of TiAl-based alloys are characterized. Several aspects of processing are discussed and the most promising cost-effective casting technology is described in details. Some current applications of TiAl components are summarised before considering some of the challenges still remaining for TiAl-based alloys.

Down Syndrome: Current Status, Challenges and Future Perspectives
Down syndrome (DS) is a birth defect with huge medical and social costs, caused by trisomy of whole or part of chromosome 21. It is the most prevalent genetic disease worldwide and the common genetic cause of intellectual disabilities appearing in about 1 in 400-1500 newborns. Although the syndrome had been described thousands of years before, it was named after John Langdon Down who described ...
متن کاملScalable Fabrication of 2D Semiconducting Crystals for Future Electronics
Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials are anticipated to be promising for future electronics. However, their electronic applications are severely restricted by the availability of such materials with high quality and at a large scale. In this review, we introduce systematically versatile scalable synthesis techniques in the literature for high-crystallinity large-area 2D semiconducting materia...

متن کاملHuman 3-D tissue models in radiation biology: current status and future perspectives
In this review, we discuss the use of a variety of 3-D models (particularly 3-D skin, lung, breast and endothelial) in radiobiological research and highlight the differences in responses compared to 2-D culturing conditions (monolayers). We review the characteristics of existing 3-D models and aim to point out the substantial advantages 3-D cultures provide for modern radiobiology. In particula...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Surgery for Advanced Gastric Cancer: Current Status and Future Perspectives
Laparoscopic gastrectomy has been widely accepted especially in patients with early-stage gastric cancer. However, the safety and oncologic validity of laparoscopic gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer are still being debated. Since the late 90s', we have been engaged in developing a stable and robust methodology of laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer, and have estab...
