Coarsening of three-dimensional droplets by two-dimensional diffusion: Part I. Experiment
An experimental study of diffusional coarsening, or Ostwald ripening, in a liquid-liquid two-phase system is described. An experiment performed at its isopycnic point, 42°C, allowed observations for the long t...

Coarsening of three-dimensional droplets by two-dimensional diffusion: Part II. Theory
Theoretical modeling of coarsening among a finite cluster of precipitates is implemented, using the multipole expansion method. This method requires the diffusion field to behave quasi-statically. Two approxim...

Sintering time and atmosphere influences on the microstructure and mechanical properties of tungsten heavy alloys
The mechanical properties of tungsten heavy alloys are sensitive to the processing cycle and are adversely affected by residual porosity. Sintering times greater than 2 hours usually result in pore growth with...
