The paper reflects on the development of Nb-silicide based alloys vis-à-vis property goals
and compares them with refractory-complex-concentrated-alloys (RCCAs) for their density …

Oxygen, one of the most abundant elements on Earth, often forms an undesired interstitial
impurity or ceramic phase (such as an oxide particle) in metallic materials. Even when it …

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are materials that consist of equimolar or near-equimolar
multiple principal components but tend to form single phases, which is a new research topic …

The mechanical behavior of body-centered cubic (BCC) materials can be dramatically
affected by the presence of interstitial solute atoms. We present a new phase-field …

The present study focuses on the factors underlying the substantially higher yield strength
(YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) processed …

Isothermal oxidation kinetics of Nb–Ti–V–Al–Zr alloy at 700–1200° C followed a mixed
parabolic-linear law. The oxidation region consisted of an outer oxidation layer (OOL) and …

An advantage of electron beam melting (EBM) additive manufacturing technology is the
ability to process high-melting temperature, refractory, and/or reactive materials. This …

Refractory metal alloys based on Nb, Mo, Ta, W, and Re find applications in the aerospace
industries because of their high melting points and high temperature strengths. They are …

Oxidation performance of a newly developed Nb–Ti–V–Cr–Al–W–Mo–Hf alloy at 800–1200°
C for 5 h in flowing air was investigated via isothermal oxidation testing, X-ray diffraction …

Single-phase metals can be strengthened via cold work, grain refinement, or solid solution
hardening. But the yield strength elevation normally comes at the expense of ductility, ie, a …
