Hardfacing is an efficient and economical surfacing technique widely used by heavy
industries to remediate worn components in service or to enhance the component's wear …

In this paper we derive an approach for the effective utilization of thermodynamic data in
phase-field simulations. While the most widely used methodology for multi-component alloys …

The mechanism by which relatively small concentrations of silicon influence the precipitation
of cementite from carbon supersaturated austenite and ferrite are investigated. It is found …

Previous tensile tests showed that the typical coarse-grained (CG) interstitial high entropy
alloy (iHEA) with the nominal composition Fe 49.5 Mn 30 Co 10 Cr 10 C 0.5 (at.%) has …

Special algorithms have been developed to calculate important solidification-related
thermophysical properties: enthalpy and enthalpy-related data (ie, specific and latent heat) …

Low-temperature gas-phase carburization has been used to generate very high surface
interstitial carbon contents, up to∼ 12at.%, in a 316L austenitic stainless steel. The high …

Cemented carbide, also known as hard metal, is one of the most outstanding composite
engineering materials since its commercial introduction in the 1920s. The unique …

A thermodynamic evaluation of the Sn-ln and Sn-Bi system has been made by using
thermodynamic models for the Gibbs energy of the individual phases. An optimized set of …

Graphite film has many remarkable properties and intriguing applications from energy
