A vertical continuous compound casting technology for the production of rotationally symmetric bilayer rods consisting brass CuZn37 and aluminum AA7075 was developed. The interface metallurgically bonded semi-finished products composed four intermetallic layers an anomalous eutectic area Al2Cu (?-AlCu), Al solid solution (?-Al), other precipitates. were CuZn (?-CuZn), a suggested two-phase regi...

Highly interconnected silicon nanowires (SiNW) were prepared by a vapor−liquid−solid process using a multilayered AlCu film as the catalyst. The resulting SiNWs had a branched and interconnected structure where the AlCu catalyst was incorporated into the SiNWs. The electrochemical lithiation of the SiNWs was investigated through both deep and shallow cycling. The first cycle Coulombic efficienc...

Metallic-intermetallic laminate (MIL) composites are promising materials for structural applications especially in the aerospace industry. One of the interesting laminate composites is the Ti-TiAl 3 multilayer. In this work, commercially pure sheets of aluminum and titanium with almost equal thickness of around 0.5 mm were explosively joined. The achieved multilayers were annealed at 630 ℃in di...

We present a reasoning procedure for ontologies with uncertainty described in Description Logic (DL) which include General TBoxes, i.e., include cycles and General Concept Inclusions (GCIs). For this, we consider the description language ALCU , in which uncertainty parameters are associated with ABoxes and TBoxes, and which allows General TBoxes. Using this language as a basis, we then present ...
