Alberto Moreira Jorge,Alberto Moreira Jorge,Gisele Ferreira de Lima,Maria Regina Martins Triques,Walter José Botta,Claudio Shyinti Kiminami,Ricardo P. Nogueira,Alain Reza Yavari,Terence G. Langdon,Terence G. Langdon +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the results show that the hydriding properties are enhanced with a (002) texture where the improved kinetics lie mainly in the initial stages of hydrogenation.

Crystallography of β1 → γ′1 stress-induced martensitic transformation in a CuAlNi alloy
TL;DR: In this article, the lattice invariant shear was determined directly to be 〈111〉γ′1 Type II twinning, which is conjugate to {121}γ-γ-1 Type I twinning.

The crystallographic analysis of grain-boundary precipitation
P.L Ryder,W Pitsch +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method for the crystallographic analysis of nucleation and growth transformations, in particular grain-boundary precipitation, is proposed, based upon a certain model for the nucleation process, in which it is assumed that one plane and one direction in this plane do not rotate.

Nanocrystallization of NiTi shape memory alloys made amorphous by high-pressure torsion
TL;DR: In this article, high-pressure torsion (HPT) was used to enhance shape memory properties of NiTi nanocrystallization in the presence of high pressure torsions.

Modelling and characterisation of V4C3 precipitation and cementite dissolution during tempering of Fe-C-V martensitic steel
TL;DR: The precipitation and Ostwald ripening behavior of V4C3 particles during the tempering of a ternary Fe -C -V martensitic steel have been characterised and modelled, taking account of local equilibrium, the capillarity effect, and simultaneous cementite enrichment and dissolution as mentioned in this paper.
