In this paper, we detail a strategy to self-assemble microstructures using chromium/copper (Cr/Cu) bilayers. Self-assembly was primarily driven by the intrinsic residual stresses of Cr within these ...

High Chromium Cast Iron (HCCI) has demonstrated its effectiveness as a potential material for applications in severe environments due to its remarkable wear resistance attributed to the volumetric ...

3.2. Microstructure characterization Microstructure observations obtained by SEM in BSE mode indicate the presence of five constituent phases, which have been indexed by XRD and are shown in Figure 4.

The chromium map (Figure 3b) depicts that only layer 1 is abundant in chromium, while the rest of the scale displays minimal chromium. This layer also presents some grains towards the top and bottom ...

A metallic alloy of chromium, cobalt, and nickel is over 100 times tougher than graphene and gets even more resistant to damage at extremely low temperatures. When you purchase through links on ...

Microstructure of studied steels after electrolytic etching using NaOH (a) and chemical etching using Beraha etchant (b) in Steel 3. The Beraha etchant allows identification of the σ phase in Steel 7 ...
