Effect of a minor titanium addition on the superplastic properties of a CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy processed by high-pressure torsion

TL;DR: In this article, a CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy with an addition of 2'at% Ti was processed by high-pressure torsion to produce a grain size of ~30'nm and then tested in tension at elevated temperatures from 873 to 1073'k using strain rates from 1.0'×'10−3 to 1'0'

Interrelation between the Portevin Le-Chatelier effect and necking in AlMg alloys

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the Portevin Le-Chatelier (PLC) effect on the necking instability was studied in a binary and a precipitation-strengthened AlMg alloy using the digital image correlation (DIC) technique.

Diffusional Viscosity of a Polycrystalline Solid

TL;DR: In this article, it is suggested that mosaic boundaries and boundaries between grains of nearly the same orientation may not serve as sources or sinks of the diffusion currents, in which case the creep rate will depend only on the configuration of grain boundaries having a sizable orientation differen...
