In this study we investigate Zn liquid metal embrittlement at Fe grain boundaries (GBs) by
employing ab initio density functional theory (DFT) simulations. We consider three different …

Advanced (ultra) high-strength steels that utilise bcc-fcc microstructures are appealing
solutions for producing a combination of high strength and deformability. However, they are …

The adhesion of protective hard coatings to the substrate is one of the most important
parameters that influence the performance of metal cutting tools. By a combination of high …

Lattice strain potentially alters hydrogen (H) behaviors in structural materials and thus H-
induced damages. Herein, we computationally investigate effects of lattice strain on H …

Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) of advanced high-strength steels is a crucial problem in the
automotive industry, which may cause time-delayed failure of car body components …

Metals that are exposed to high pressure hydrogen gas may undergo detrimental failure by
embrittlement. Understanding the mechanisms and driving forces of hydrogen absorption on …
