Precipitation and growth of intermetallic phases during thermal processing play an important
role in the formation and evolution of heterogeneous microstructure of Ti-Al intermetallic …

In recent decades, spark plasma sintering (SPS) has become a widespread technique in the
production of high-quality intermetallic-based materials. In this study, we used SPS to …

In dissimilar friction stir welding (FSW), the weld nugget is composed of two elements, which
are mechanically mixed. This microstructure helps enhance the mechanical properties when …

The brick-and-mortar structure of shell nacre allows for the simultaneous enhancement of
