Abstract 316L stainless steel (316L SS) is a flagship material for structural applications in
corrosive environments, having been extensively studied for decades for its favorable …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is associated with a sequence of rapid heating and cooling
cycles along with large temperature gradients, developing complex thermal histories which …

As the forging counterpart of fusion-based additive processes, additive friction stir deposition
offers a solid-state deformation processing route to metal additive manufacturing, in which …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have a wide range of potential novel medical applications due
to their superelastic properties and ability to restore and retain a 'memorised'shape …

Grain boundaries (GBs) are defects in crystal structures, which are in general known to be
highly active toward various electrocatalytic reactions. Herein, we identify the adverse …

Failures caused by intergranular corrosion have often occurred in structures made of
stainless steels, and it is necessary to establish a technique to evaluate the susceptibility to …

Based on different character distribution of twin-related boundaries (Σ3 n, 1≤ n≤ 3)
introduced by special thermomechanical processing, the effect on carbide precipitation and …

The effect of powder size distribution and oxygen content on the extent of multiple twinning
and spatial distribution of oxide inclusions in hot isostatic pressed (HIPed) 316L steels was …

The properties of bulk water and aqueous solutions are known to change in the vicinity of an
interface and/or in a confined environment, including the thermodynamics of ion selectivity at …

Currently, zinc has been considered as one new attractive biodegradable metal for medical
implant applications due to its favoured properties such as biocompatibility and recyclability …
