Tri-beam microscopes comprising a fs-laser beam, a Xe+ plasma focused ion beam (PFIB)
and an electron beam all in one chamber open up exciting opportunities for site-specific …

Gathering 3D material microstructural information is time-consuming, expensive, and energy-
intensive. Acquisition of 3D data has been accelerated by developments in serial sectioning …

High-strength 7xxx Al-alloys are used in aerospace and are expected to be increasingly
employed in the automotive sector for “lightweighting” but they can be sensitive to stress …

Intergranular Environmentally-Assisted Cracking (EAC) has recently been reported to be an
issue of concern in new-generation 7000 series aluminium alloys, such as AA7085, when …

Recent experience has shown that new-generation 7xxx-series alloys, that have a high Zn
content and Zn/Mg ratios, have a greater susceptibility to hydrogen-environmental induced …

Grain size is industrially important for improving mechanical properties and formability. In
order to investigate the effect of grain size on the hot workability and deformation …

This paper investigates the effect of retrogression time on the fatigue crack growth of a
modified AA7475 aluminum alloy. Tests including tensile strength, fracture toughness, and …

The current research adopts a novel approach by integrating correlative microscopy and
machine learning in order to study creep cavitation in an ex-service 9% Cr 1% Mo Grade 91 …

Focused ion beam (FIB) technology is one of the most widely used methods for fabricating
cross-sectional analysis specimens because of its high precision and characteristics that …
