To meet the growing demand for transportation and energy consumption around the world,
more efficient turbine engines and power generators with higher operating temperatures are …

Grain boundary engineering (GBE) plays an important role in the design of new
polycrystalline materials with enhanced mechanical properties. This approach has been …

Failure processes are often linked to interfaces, their atomistic structure and chemistry.
Therefore, a detailed understanding of failure processes requires knowledge of structural …

The segregation of transition metal elements to grain boundaries in steels plays a critical
role in determining their cohesion. Here, we investigate the segregation, co-segregation …

Body-centered cubic refractory metallic materials exhibit excellent high-temperature
strength, but often suffer from brittle intergranular fracture due to the recrystallization-induced …

Abstract Innovative metal-SiC f/SiC heterogeneous structure composites are promising
accident tolerance fuel cladding materials for the Gen IV advanced reactors. The mechanical …

Substantial disagreement exists for segregation energies between experimentally measured
and first principles calculated values. To resolve this standing issue, we computed …

Rare earth (Y/Ce) were homogeneously distributed in molybdenum alloys by liquid-liquid
doping and powder metallurgy method, and the molybdenum alloys plates were obtained …

To overcome the Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) susceptibility of the standard Alloy 725 (Mod
A), two alloys with minor alloying modifications with B (Mod B) and B+ Cu (Mod C) were …

Additive manufacturing of tungsten (W) is challenging due to its high melting point, high
thermal conductivity, oxidation tendency, and brittleness from grain boundary (GB) oxides. In …
