The phase diagram has a closed-loop binodal (as in associative phase diagrams) with two critical points. One critical point is in common with the strong driving force cases, that is, the system loses ...

Shape memory alloys (SMAs), generally composed of nickel-titanium, have unique properties that enable them to transition from the martensite phase to the austenite phase when heated. During this ...

Final thoughts This article discusses “simple” binary phase diagrams. In reality, alloys are made from many elements; each element moves these various phase boundaries around. More than about two or ...

Udmurt Federal Research Center of Russian Academy of Sciences, Izhevsk, Russia. Metallurgists and technologists working with alloys do not need to explain the exceptional importance of the reliability ...

The observed changes in the local atomic structure of the austenite phase of the alloys contribute to the improvement in the shape memory properties.

The well-known hadronic phase of nuclear matter consists of baryons (protons and neutrons) and a large number of elementary particles. Heavy ion collisions have revealed a new phase of nuclear matter ...

A team sees stripes in samples of twisted double bilayer graphene, indicating the presence of a nematic phase characterized by broken rotational symmetry.

This study complements the new data for mixed gas phase equilibrium and gives some hydrate phase equilibrium diagrams of methane containing system, which can provide a basis for the development and ...

The TKD mapping also indicated that significant volume fractions of austenite were retained following the DS-A heat treatment, consistent with austenite phase fractions measured using XRD.

Nevertheless, metastable-phase maps are crucial for understanding solidification near the triple points of the thermodynamic phase diagram, where the liquid phase coexists with two solid phases. CNT ...
