Abstract. The strength of nickel-based superalloys usually consists of solid solution strengthening from the gamma matrix and precipitation hardening due to the gamma' and/or gamma

Introduction Cast aluminium alloys have widespread applications for structural components in the automotive industry. For example, in power-train applications, including engine blocks, cylinder heads

ABSTRACT Premature fatigue fractures in structural components are a major problem in the manufacturing industry. The challenge for modellers has been to deliver reliable fatigue-analysis tools, be

Abstract A computer model has been created to calculate the high temperature mechanical properties and density change of steels during solidification. Such calculations were based on accurate thermody

Abstract Distortion induced by heat treatment is a major industrial problem because it critically affects the dimensional accuracy of precision components. Prediction of distortion is difficult becaus

ABSTRACT The thermo-physical and physical properties of the liquid and solid phases are critical components in casting simulations. Such properties include the fraction solid transformed, enthalpy rel

Abstract A full set of physical and thermophysical properties for lead-free solder (LFS) alloys have been calculated, which include liquidus/solidus temperatures, fraction solid, density, coefficient

Many formulas have been developed to describe the mechanical properties of various microstruc-tures, but there have been relatively few attempts to combine such formulations directly withmulticomp

The effect of Fe and Mn contents on precipitation and sedimentation of primary α-Al(FeMn)Si phase in liquid Al-11.5Si-0.4Mg (wt%) alloy has been investigated at 600◦C in convection-free conditions. Al
