Co-based superalloys depend on carbide precipitation and solid solution strengthening for mechanical properties. While these strengthening mechanisms are inferior to gamma prime (γ') precipitation strengthening, [1] cobalt has a higher melting point than nickel and has superior hot corrosion resistance and thermal fatigue. As a result, carbide ...
In age-hardening or precipitation-strengthening varieties, small amounts of niobium combine with nickel to form the intermetallic compound Ni 3 Nb or gamma double prime (γ″). Gamma prime forms small cubic crystals that inhibit slip and creep effectively at elevated temperatures. The formation of gamma-prime crystals increases over time ...
In these alloys the volume fraction of the γ' precipitates is as high as 80%. [7] Because of this high volume fraction, the evolution of these γ' precipitates during the alloys' life cycles is important: a major concern is the coarsening of these γ' precipitates at high temperature (800 to 1000 °C), which greatly reduces the alloys ...
Evolutionary biology, in particular the understanding of how organisms evolve through natural selection, is an area of science with many practical applications. [1] [2] Creationists often claim that the theory of evolution lacks any practical applications; however, this claim has been refuted by scientists.
Paleontologists have documented numerous transitional forms and have constructed "an astonishingly comprehensive record of the key transitions in animal evolution". [126] Conducting a survey of the paleontological literature, one would find that there is "abundant evidence for how all the major groups of animals are related, much of it in the ...
Catherine, Jaden, Anne, Phillip, Jamal and Esteban are some of the names that we'll be seeing less of in 2025, a new survey by BabyCenter has revealed. Other names falling in popularity include ...
Microstructural evolution is driven in the material by the accumulation of defects over a period of sustained radiation. This accumulation is limited by defect recombination, by clustering of defects, and by the annihilation of defects at sinks. Defects must thermally migrate to sinks, and in doing so often recombine, or arrive at sinks to ...
With the start of a new year on Jan. 1, 2025, comes the emergence of a new generation. 2025 marks the end of Generation Alpha and the start of Generation Beta, a cohort that will include all ...
