TL;DR: In this paper, a method for finding the optimum alloy compositions considering a large number of property requirements and constraints by systematic exploration of large composition spaces is proposed, which is based on a numerical multi-criteria global optimization algorithm (multistart solver using Sequential Quadratic Programming), which delivers the exact optimum considering all constraints.

TL;DR: In this article, the changes in the tungsten filaments microstructure were investigated and the activation energy of this process is 30 kJ mol − 1, which corresponds to the dissolution of methane on the filament surface which is the rate determining step.

TL;DR: In this paper, an increase in the γ/σ lattice misfit caused by Ru was identified as a major reason for impeded nucleation of the σ phase.

TL;DR: In this article, diamond films with four different grain size domains were deposited onto silicon carbide front faces and tested in unlubricated planar sliding contacts and the results obtained from the dry sliding tests are visualised in a tribo map.

TL;DR: In this paper, the formation and decay of foams produced by gas bubble expansion in a molten metal is numerically simulated with the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) which belongs to the cellular automaton techniques.
