The microstructural evolution in the single crystal Ni-base superalloy ERBO/1 (CMSX 4 type)
is investigated after load controlled low cycle fatigue (LCF) at 950° C (load-ratio: 0.6, tensile …

Phase diagrams obtained from first-principles have the potential to reduce time and expense
by guiding experimental investigations for materials design applications. However, simply …

In steels and single-crystal superalloys the control of the formation of topologically close-
packed (TCP) phases is critical for the performance of the material. The structural stability of …

Abstract Proper descriptions of Topologically Closed-Packed (TCP) phases in
thermodynamic databases are essential to adequately design new alloys. Thus, the recently …

A thermodynamic assessment of hydrogen sorption in LaNi 5-x Al xH (0≤ x≤ 1) alloys was
performed combining experimental and theoretical investigations. The occurrence of sloped …
