New research is helping scientists better understand how microstructures change, or undergo "grain growth," at high temperatures.

Microstructure Characterization EBSD is extensively used to study the microstructure of materials, including grain size distribution, grain boundary character, and texture. This information is crucial ...

Researchers from IMDEA Institute have developed a streamlined and industrially scalable methodology to design and control ...

The concept of tagging nuclear fuel with a chemical barcode to enable forensics analysis across the nuclear fuel cycle is an area of active investigation, particularly to ensure fabrication viability ...

In the current study, the feasibility of performing lab-based nondestructive 3D grain mapping was tested on a high-aspect-ratio structure: aluminum foil. Similar to other metals, the aluminum foil has ...

A 70-year-old model used to predict the microstructure of materials doesn't work for today's materials, say Carnegie Mellon University researchers in Science. A microscopy technique developed by ...

Keigo Inui, Tosiharu Noda, Takao Shimizu, Masaru Nagata, Development of the Ferritic Stainless Steel Welding Wire Providing Fine Grain Microstructure Weld Metal for the Components of Automotive ...

Alloys have a higher critical cooling rate during heat treatment compared to steels under constant austenitic carbon content, total carbon, and austenitic grain size. Thus, alloys experience a ...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) disc samples doped with copper oxide as the main impurity were prepared and irradiated for 2 min by 1.064 μm semi-train of 20 ps pulses having energy of 80 mJ in a spot size of 5 mm ...

Researchers have developed an ultracompact camera the size of a coarse grain of salt. The new system can produce crisp, full-color images on par with a conventional compound camera lens 500,000 ...
