The crucial role of dislocations in the nanomechanical response of high-purity aluminum
was studied. The dislocation density in cold-worked aluminum is characterized by means of …

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) films were prepared by anodization of titanium foils at different
voltages in dilute NaOH solutions and characterized by XRD and scanning electron …

A combination of electron channeling contrast imaging and nanoindentation tests was
conducted to reveal the interconnected nature of the pop-in (yield point phenomena) with …

Hydrogen effects on the fracture stress of passive film formed on 316L stainless steel were
studied by nanoindentation. Hydrogen accumulated primarily on the sample surface and in …

The present work focuses on the corrosion prevention behaviour of pure titanium metal (Ti)
and its alloy with various percentages of molybdenum (Mo) in sulphuric acid environment …

The Taguchi analysis method was used to simultaneously study the effects of alloy
chemistry, pH, and halide ion concentrations on the fracture of electrochemically grown …

Passive films play an important role in corrosion and stress corrosion cracking of titanium.
Correlation between passive film-induced stress and film mechanical properties on α-Ti in …

The excursions in displacement during loading and holding have been investigated through
nanoindentation of an iron single crystal; the hydrogen effect on these excursions has been …

The passive films play an important role in corrosion and stress corrosion cracking of
austenitic stainless steels. The current research investigates the relationship between alloy …

Nanoindentations were made into oxide films on aluminum and titanium substrates for two
cases; one where the metal was a bulk (effectively single crystal) material and the other …
