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 ...

Therefore, a client working with precision grain structures constently means reduced tooling time for each material shipment and additional time for running. For more information, read our full guide ...

Grain boundary engineering is used to enhance the mechanical properties, such as strength, ductility, and fatigue resistance, of nanocrystalline metals and alloys. By controlling the grain size ...

Previous atomistic simulations on nanocrystalline metals have indicated that, for very small grain sizes (below approximately 10 nm, where the grain boundaries take up a considerable fraction of ...

(Phys.org) —Drawing inspiration from the structure of bones and bamboo, researchers have found that by gradually changing the internal structure of metals they can make stronger, tougher ...

Grain Size: Grain size and structure of a metal serve as general indicators of its machinability. A metal with small undistorted grains tends to cut easily and finish easily. Such a metal is ductile, ...

We use the Tosca 400 atomic force microscope (AFM) as a quality control tool to check for differences in titanium (Ti) metal grain structure before and after failure. Ti metal was subjected to ...

This is the case whether components are metal, plastic or a composite. One of the biggest issues they face is that while these defects can be ... This prevents grain structure in metals from being ...
