It has long been recognised that at elevated temperatures surface energy is the driving force for the distribution of melts and fluids among crystalline grains. While for ideal isotropic systems only two parameters, the dihedral angle (the ratio of grain boundary energy to solid-liquid surface energy) and the melt fraction are needed to completely constrain the melt distribution, anisotropic sy...

The Directed Energy Deposition Additive Manufacturing (DED-AM) of SS316L was studied using in situ and operando synchrotron X-ray imaging to quantitively understand the effect processing parameters on melt-pool morphology surface quality. It found that roughness DED-AM builds can result from melt pool perturbations caused by changes flow build stage motion perturbations. Process maps are develo...

Mantle–melt interaction during melt transport is explored in one generally moves relative to the residual solid phases. This follows from experimental and theoretical studies of the dimension and steady state. We reconsider the equivalence between one-dimensional steady equilibrium transport and batch melting. In equilibrium textures of olivine-dominated, partially molten systems, which indicat...

Melt generation and migration are important processes for the evolution of the Earth’s interior and impact the global convection of the mantle. While they have been the subject of numerous investigations, the typical time and lengthscales of melt transport are vastly different from global mantle convection, which determines where melt is generated. This makes it difficult to study mantle convec...

Melt ponds, a common feature on Arctic sea ice, absorb most of the incoming solar radiation and have a large effect on the melting rate of sea ice, which significantly influences climate change. Therefore, it is very important to monitor melt ponds in order to better understand the sea ice-climate interaction. In this study, melt pond retrieval models were developed using the TerraSAR-X dual-po...

Ultrasonic cavitation treatment of melt significantly improves the downstream properties and quality of conventional and advanced metallic materials. However, the transfer of this technology has been hindered by difficulties in treating large volumes of liquid metal. To improve the understanding of cavitation processing efficiency, the Full Cavitation Model, which is derived from a reduced form...

Injection molding of high quality thin-wall parts is a challenge due to the high values of the shear stress in the melt flow, which affect the morphology of the moldings and their consequent shrinkage and warpage. In this work, the effect of the injection molding processing conditions on the dimensional accuracy of thin-wall fiber-reinforced parts was studied. The reduction of the shrinkage was...

This work focused on the influence of processing conditions on the mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP) and PP/mesoporous silica-hydroxyapatite (PP/MCM-41-HA) hybrid nanocomposites. The mechanical properties of PP were enhanced by adding MCM-41-HA nanoparticles. Neat PP and hybrid nanocomposites based on PP, containing maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MA) and MCM-41-HA, were ...
