This is the first report of the successful fabrication of Co–Cr–Mo biomedical alloy single crystals with a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure and the resultant clarification of its deformation behavior. The (0001)〈112¯0〉 ...

The grain size is a determinant microstructural feature to enable the activation of deformation twinning in hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals. Although deformation twinning is one of the most effective mechanisms for ...

The influence of current density, at the interval 5-100 mA cm-2, on the structural and magnetic properties of electrodeposited (Co 100-xNix)100-yWy alloys (x = 23-33.5 at. % Ni, y = 1.7-7.3 at. % W) was studied from a ...

High-Mn steels attract attention because of their various technological properties. These are mainly mechanical and functional, such as the shape-memory effect, high damping capacity, high strength with simultaneous large ...

Pure Ti and a great number of its alloys exhibit an allotropy change at the β-transus temperature. Below the β-transus, Ti exhibits a hexagonal close packed (hcp) and above this temperature possess a body centered cubic ...

Titanium has an allotropic transformation around 883 °C. Below this temperature, the crystalline structure is hexagonal close-packed (α phase), changing to body-centered cubic (β phase). Zirconium has the same allotropic ...

The nuclear industries have large interest on the development of new alloys involving zirconium (Zr) because this material presents extraordinary mechanical properties, outstanding resistance to corrosion and high permeability ...
