    Effect of Nb on improving the impact toughness of Mo-containing low-alloyed steels

    The microalloying of low-alloyed steels with Nb can improve the strength-to-toughness balance. Such an effect of Nb is usually ascribed to the refinement of the grain structure occurring in the austenite regim...

    Impact of Heating–Cooling Rates on the Functional Properties of Ti–20Ta–5Al High-Temperature Shape Memory Alloys

    Due to their ability to provide a shape memory effect at elevated temperatures, high-temperature shape memory alloys (HT-SMAs) came into focus of academia and industry in the last decades. Ternary and quaterna...

    Cyclic Degradation of Co49Ni21Ga30 High-Temperature Shape Memory Alloy: On the Roles of Dislocation Activity and Chemical Order

    Conventional shape memory alloys (SMAs), such as binary Ni–Ti, are typically limited to service temperatures below 100 °C. Recent studies on Co–Ni–Ga high-temperature SMAs revealed the potential that these all...
