The combined information provides all five characteristics of the grain boundaries in the metal foils. Discover the latest in science, tech, and space with over 100,000 subscribers who rely on ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Structure of Metal. By Rick Groleau; Posted 04.30.02; NOVA; From carrying current on a computer's circuit boards to holding up skyscrapers, metal has countless uses, thanks to its special ...

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 ...
