Malladi, S.R.K. (author)Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been well known as a powerful characterisation tool to understand the structure and composition of various materials down to the atomic level. Over the years, several TEM studies have been carried out to understand the compositional, structural and morphological changes a material undergoes as a...doctoral thesis 2014

Wang, L. (author)In recent years, finite-element (FE) simulations have been extensively used in scientific research and industrial practice to analyse the extrusion process. A basic issue of FE simulations is the accuracy of the results, which is mainly determined by the viscoplastic material behaviour of aluminium alloys at elevated temperatures and the...doctoral thesis 2012

Westerwaal, R.J. (author), Nyqvist, R.G. (author), Haije, W.G. (author)For the daily use of hydrogen storage materials, not only their intrinsic storage properties are important, but also equally important is the performance under practical conditions. Besides the techniques already available for the fundamental characterization of storage materials, there is a growing need to test storage materials under...journal article 2011

Ruvalcaba Jimenez, D.G. (author)This Thesis demonstrates studies on microstructure development during the solidification of aluminium alloys. New insights of structure development are presented here. Experimental techniques such as quenching and in-situ High-brilliance X-ray microscopy were utilized to study the microstructure evolution during solidification.doctoral thesis 2009

Anselmino, E. (author)Despite the importance of grain boundary migration during recrystallisation in metals, the details of the mechanism are not well known and there are few direct and accurate experimental observations. The main scope of this thesis is therefore to study the local grain boundary motion in an Al-Mn alloy and observe its interaction with obstacles in...doctoral thesis 2007

Kovacevic, I. (author), Sarler, B. (author)The two-domain approach and the phase-field approach, the two distinct physical models, for simulation of phase transformations in heat treatment processes are presented. Special attention is paid for linking data from a thermodynamic database to the physical models. The general procedure for linking thermodynamic data in the two-domain approach...conference paper 2006

Flores Ramirez, J.R. (author)An investigation concerning the effects of magnesium on the intergranular corrosion susceptibility of AA5XXX aluminium alloys was carried out. In the present work, magnesium is found to be highly mobile in the bulk metal as well as in the aluminium oxide. This mobility is also found to be dependent on the temperature and bulk magnesium...doctoral thesis 2006

Lok, Z.J. (author)The production of aluminium sheet alloys from as-cast ingots is a complex process, involving several rolling operations in combination with various thermal heat treatments. Through their influence on the alloy microchemistry and microstructure, these thermomechanical treatments are all aimed at controlling the final material properties. In...doctoral thesis 2005

Chen, S.P. (author)Microstructural modeling of thermomechanical processing is well established as a valuable procedure for optimizing processing conditions in the steel industry, while the similar work for aluminum industry is still an opening problem. Recovery, recrystallization and grain growth are core elements of this processing. This thesis concentrates on...doctoral thesis 2003

Oldersma, A. (author), Wanhill, R.J.H. (author)Discussions between D-BAA and the NLR have shown that significant variability in fatigue crack growth properties is possible for the industry standard damage tolerant aluminium alloy, 2024-T3 sheet. This is important for two reasons: (1) design assumptions and (2) comparisons of different candidate materials, such as 6013-T6, with 2024-T3....report 1996

van der Hoeven, W. (author)Residual strength tests were performed on ARALL panels consisting of ARALL3 (3/2) laminates with bonded-on doublers. In particular, the effect of the doubler geometry (shape and thickness) on the residual strength was investigated. Prior to residual strength testing all panels were fatigue loaded to create a realistic type of damage, i.e. cracks...report 1992

Schra, L. (author), 't Hart, W.G.J. (author), Boogers, J.A.M. (author)Outdoor corrosion and stress corrosion tests were conducted on Al-Li plate and sheet materials for 3 and almost 5 years respectively. The results can be summarized as follows: Corrosion: Peak aged XXXA-T651 (8090-T651) exhibited greater exfoliation corrosion resistance than 2024-T351 and 2324-T39 plate. 2091-T3 and 2024-T3 sheet were found to be...report 1990
