Intermetallic titanium aluminide alloys based on the ordered face-centred tetragonal γ (TiAl)-
phase represent a good example how fundamental and applied research along with …

Unique in its approach, this introduction to the physics of creep concentrates on the physical
principles underlying observed phenomena. As such it provides a resource for graduate …

Metals with the hcp crystal structure have a wide variety of mechanical and physical
properties, and understanding the links between atomic processes, microstructure, and …

Plastic deformation of crystalline materials is usually mediated by motion of dislocations.
Exceptions are diffusional creep that takes place at high temperatures and very low strain …

Large scale atomic simulations are becoming an increasingly important tool in modeling
deformation and failure mechanisms of materials. Here we describe and analyze a recent …

We examine dislocation structures generated by compressive strains at ambient
temperatures and 650° C in polycrystalline, orthorhombic (O) phase of composition Ti-26 …

Deformation behaviour of a DO19, compound with an off-stoichiometric composition of Ti-36·
5 at.% Al has been studied as a function of orientation at temperatures from− 196° C to room …

In situ straining experiments have been conducted in polycrystalline Ti3Al, with the aim of
analysing the mechanisms controlling dislocation motion and interpreting themechanical …

Dual-phase γ-TiAl and α 2-Ti 3 Al alloys exhibit high strength and creep resistance at high
temperatures. However, they suffer from low tensile ductility and fracture toughness at room …

Dislocation cores influence very significantly plastic behavior of many materials and this is
particularly important in intermetallic compounds. We first review the variety of possible core …
