Hot rolling and annealing are critical intermediate steps for controlling microstructures and
thickness variations when fabricating uranium alloyed with 10% molybdenum (U-10Mo) …

Ceramic cutting tool materials possess specific advantages, including high hardness,
excellent wear resistance, and high chemical stability, making them unparalleled in the …

Materials design can be accelerated by the use of physics-based forward models that
predict the properties of new materials. In cases where the properties of the material depend …

Low enriched uranium alloyed with 10 wt.% molybdenum (U-10Mo) has been identified as a
promising alternative to highly enriched uranium oxide dispersion fuels for use in high …

A previously validated coupling of Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) Potts Model and finite element
method (FEM) simulations was implemented to investigate the effects of microstructural …

Grain growth in thin films is a complex three-dimensional problem. It is shown by Potts
model simulation how a bulk-like microstructure transforms into a columnar structure with a …

Grain boundaries and second phase particles are known to have a significant influence on
the recrystallization kinetics of metals undergoing thermomechanical processing. Using ex …

In this study, phase-field models were employed to simulate the effects of second-phase
particles (SPPs) on grain growth of the AZ31 Mg alloy, under realistic spatial and temporal …

The polycrystalline grain microstructure of metallic thin films coarsens during grain growth in
a unique way when the initial grain structure contains multiple grains in the film thickness. A …

In this research, mixed structures are created so that they have regions where dislocations
accumulate and a region that is, to some extent, free from dislocations. These …
