For the last 75 years several studies have been reporting on the physical properties of
niobium oxides, but there is still many contradictory, inconsistent and insufficient information …

Refractory metals have increasingly attracted the attention of researchers due to their
excellent high-temperature strength, thermal conductivity, radiation resistance, and …

Straight extrusion (SE), single equal channel angular extrusion (S-ECAE) and double equal
channel angular extrusion (D-ECAE) were performed in pure niobium on an industrial scale …

We introduce a novel severe plastic deformation process for coarse-grained niobium, which
employs a tool with an inclined (wedge) surface for deforming the material by a reverse …

A simple and reliable method for the determination of percentage level niobium (3.5-8%) in
highly refractive gadolinium zirconate (Gd 2 Zr 2 O 7) doped with niobium, a burnable …

The effect of strain amplitude and strain rate on the microstructure and the properties that
change during hard cyclic visco-plastic deformation of bulk niobium of high purity at room …

The water pollution by atrophic and natural sources is one of the major problems of our
planet. Unfortunately, there are many types of pollutants that can be found in wastewater …

As expected from the material design, a novel shell-core-like structural TiNb/NiTi composite
possessing both decent biocompatibility and large near-linear-elastic deformation behavior …

The formation of Mg segregations at and near deformation-distorted grain boundaries (GBs)
in ultrafine-grained Al–Mg alloys is theoretically described as a process enhanced by stress …

Abstract As-cast Cu-0.7 wt% Cr and Cu-1.0 wt% Cr alloys were subjected to equal-channel
angular pressing (ECAP), hard cyclic viscoplastic (HCV) deformation and post deformation …
