The present investigation is focused on assessing the effect of a thermal treatment for grain coarsening on the low cycle fatigue damage evolution in two types of Lean Duplex Stainless Steels (LDSSs). The dislocation ...

The present work presents results on natural sintering of tin dioxide ceramics, prepared by a chemical route or by conventional mixing and containing manganese (X-Mn = Mn/(Mn + Sn)(atomic) with 0 less than or equal to ...

Pure ZA27 alloys and ZA27 alloys with Cu and Mg additions were cast and deformed by compression. Samples of both alloys were heat treated at 460°C after deformation and the evolution of the microstructure as a function of ...

In this work we study the processes of defect formation and coarsening of two-dimensional (2D) curved crystal structures. These processes are found to strongly deviate from their counterparts in flat systems. In curved ...

The present work presents results on natural sintering of tin dioxide ceramics, prepared by a chemical route or by conventional mixing and containing manganese (X-Mn = Mn/(Mn + Sn)(atomic) with 0 less than or equal to ...

We have studied the ordering dynamics of a two-dimensional system which consists of a single layer of spherical block copolymer microdomains in a thin film. We follow the annealing process after a quench from the disordered ...

We study the coarsening dynamics of two-dimensional hexagonal patterns formed by single microdomain layers of block copolymers, using numerical simulations. Our study is focused on the temporal evolution of the orientational ...

We look at a grain rotation mechanism in a bidimensional pattern forming system exhibiting an hexagonal phase. This mechanism is believed to be relevant in the coarsening process of a variety of physical systems with short- ...

The precipitation kinetics of secondary phases in a 10.5%Cr heat resistant steel, designed by the authors, was studied experimentally and theoretically. Experimental data of nucleation, growth and coarsening stages for ...
