This review aimed to determine and analyze the current understanding of the origins and
mechanisms of carbonization in different materials: 1) metallic and hard alloys, 2) oxide …

Developing graded microstructure and mechanical properties is critical for accelerating the
design and optimization of structural materials for a wide range of applications. In this study …

This study examined the feasibility of in situ fabrication of oxide dispersion–strengthened
(ODS) Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) powder through a gas atomization (GA) method. Thermodynamic …

Abstract Microstructure induced duplex Hall-Petch effect and its strengthening/toughening
mechanisms in SiC@ TC4 composites prepared by spark plasma sintering were …

Superhydrophobic metal surfaces have significant applications in various areas such as
surface self-cleaning, resistance reduction, anti-corrosion, etc. However, inexpensive …

The strong covalent bonding of SiC makes it difficult to be fully sintered using conventional
sintering techniques. Therefore, electrical current-assisted sintering techniques such as …

Oxygen-rich ZrTiAlV alloy reinforced by spherulite ZrO phase was prepared by in-situ semi-
solid processing. The results of high temperature (500° C) mechanical properties test …

In this study, the influence of silicon nitride (Si3N4) and zirconia (ZrO2) ceramics was
examined on the titanium alloy using the pulsed electric current sintering technique to …

Titanium matrix composites (TMCs) offer superior specific mechanical properties compared
to monolithic alloys. However, the complex interdependent effects of composition and …

Abstract The near-α Ti–6Al–4Zr–4Nb (wt pct) alloy is a recently developed alloy with
