Since aviation sector equipment has evolved to very long-life application conditions, critical
components and structures are regularly subjected to complex environments and applied …

Tensile and fatigue behaviors of a compressor blade titanium alloy TC17 at room and high
temperatures (RT and HT) have been investigated up to very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) …

Abstract Mg–Al–Zn–Ca–Y alloys with excellent ignition and corrosion resistances—termed
SEN alloys (where the letters “S,”“E,” and “N” stand for stainless, environmentally friendly …

Magnesium alloys are widely used in the fields of aviation, electronics, and automotive
manufacturing due to their advantages of lightweight and high specific strength. Studying …

The interior defect-induced crack initiation mechanism and early growth behavior of Ti6Al4V
alloy fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) has been investigated in very high cycle …

Rolling can result in anisotropy in the microstructure and mechanical properties of the sheet
material. This study focuses on the very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) performance of …

Magnesium alloys with long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) structures are known for their
impressive static mechanical strength, but the consistent occurrence of slip-cracking along …

Characterizing the transition from a crack-free to a cracked state remains a challenging topic
in fatigue. Mg-rare earth alloys, containing the long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase …

Hierarchical anisotropic nanostructured Mg-RE alloys, containing LPSO lamellae and dense
nano-precipitates, exhibit superior mechanical properties. However, their reliability as …

AA5086-H116 plates were welded, with and without copper (Cu)-reinforcement, using
friction stir welding. Cu-reinforcement during the solid state welding process developed a …
