Investigation into the Effects of Salt Chemistry and SO2 on the Crack Initiation of CMSX-4 in Static Loading Conditions
Although evidence exists of the potential impact of stress, co-incident with corrosive environments at high temperature, for single-crystal turbine blades, the mechanism responsible is not fully understood. Th...

The Effect of Volatilisation of Refractory Metal Oxides on the Cyclic Oxidation of Ni-base Superalloys
The role of refractory metals on the bare oxidation behaviour of a range of compositionally complex single crystal Ni-base superalloys has been investigated using a range of techniques. It has been shown that ...

Characterization of InP/GaInAs Nanometer Sized Columns Produced by Aerosol Deposition and Plasma Etching
We present a technique for the fabrication of InP nano-columns and GaInAs/InP quantum-dots based on the use of sintered aerosol Ag particles as a mask in an electron cyclotron resonance etching process. The si...
