Corrosion of metals induces enormous loss of material performance and increase of cost,
which has been a common and intractable issue that needs to be addressed urgently …

Over the last 4 decades, remarkable progress has been made in the modelling of casting
processes. The development of casting models is well reflected in the proceedings of the 15 …

Nanocrystalline (NC) metals are stronger and more radiation-tolerant than their coarse-
grained (CG) counterparts, but they often suffer from poor thermal stability as nanograins …

The complex degradation of metallic materials in aggressive environments can result in
morphological and microstructural changes. The phase-field (PF) method is an effective …
