A series of strain-controlled Low-Cycle Fatigue (LCF) and fatigue–creep tests were
performed on a 2618 aluminium alloy for various strain amplitudes at temperatures of 20° C …

The effect of tool travel speed on the mechanical, microstructure and corrosion behavior of
friction-stir-welded dissimilar AA6061-T6/AZ31 alloys has been characterized. Two different …

G115 steel is a prime candidate for key components in ultra-supercritical (USC) power
plants. In this study, G115 welded joint of 15 mm thickness had been successfully fabricated …

High temperature superalloys are often subjected to both fatigue and creep-fatigue
interaction (CFI) damage during their service at high temperature applications. The creep …

New heat-resistant steel containing 9 wt% Cr has been used for Ultra-supercritical (USC)
power plants at temperatures up to 650° C. The microstructure, mechanical properties, and …

Fatigue crack growth (FCG) tests under constant amplitude loading and fracture toughness
tests of SA508-III steel were performed in this work. The effect of the R-ratio on the FCG …

In this paper, the effect of welding and rotational speed on microstructural and mechanical
properties has been studied. Unlike eutectic reactions, solid-state diffusion can result in the …

Abstract Hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3) thin films were successfully prepared on a clean silicon
substrate via the direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering. The composition and …

The asymmetric stress-relaxation ageing behavior of AA2219 alloy has been experimentally
investigated under both tension and compression loading conditions, over a wide range of …

Relying on nanoindentation technology, the effect of intergranular dislocation
accommodation on fracture behavior for the P92 steel that had experienced creep-fatigue …
