Consolidation of Pure Magnesium Powder by Equal-Channel Angular Pressing with Back Pressure
Pure Mg particles were consolidated by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) with back pressure at 423 K. Fully dense bulk Mg with a homogeneous grain structure was obtained. After multiple passes, grains were...

Substructural changes during hot deformation of an Fe-26Cr ferritic stainless steel
Dynamic softening and substructural changes during hot deformation of a ferritic Fe-26Cr stainless steel were studied. The flow stress increased to reach a steady state in all the cases and the steady-state st...

Fracture behaviour at elevated temperatures of alumina matrix composites reinforced with silicon carbide whiskers
Creep tests were performed on alumina matrix composites containing 9.3,18 and 30 vol % of SiC whiskers. Careful examination after failure showed that the fracture characteristics were dependent upon the micros...

The Mechanical Properties at High Temperatures of SiC Whisker-Reinforced Alumina
Creep tests were conducted at temperatures from 1673 to 1823 K on samples of Al2O3 containing 9.3, 18 and 30 vol % SiC whiskers. The results show that the strains to failure tend to decrease and the stress expone...
