...) and pole figure analysis. The mechanical properties (modulus, hardness, and strain rate sensitivity parameter) of the epoxy system annealed in the magnetic field were probed with the aid of instrumented nanoindentation, and the results are compared to the reference epoxy sample. To further examine...

... followed by heat treatment at 500 °C for various annealing times. The effects of transformation of microstructure at the interface on bonding strength are discussed. The initial clad roll bonding of Al/stainless steel clad metal was bonded by mechanical locking at the interface. The protruding stainless...

...Khaled J. Al-Fadhalah The effect of texture on grain boundary character distribution (GBCD) in thermomechanically processed oxygen-free high-conductivity copper has been investigated. Copper samples were cold rolled to a reduction in thickness of 50% and then annealed for 60 min in the range of 400...

... s − 1 to 1 × 10 2 s − 1 encompassing most conditions experienced in automotive crash situations. The effect of prestraining to 3.5% with or without successive annealing at 180 ° C for 30 min has also been evaluated. These treatments were used to simulate pressing of the plates and the paint-bake...

... occurred in some parts of the heat-affected zone and produced hardening for up to 12 weeks after welding. Annealing of 5083 FSW specimens produced abnormal grain growth (AGG) for welds produced under certain welding conditions and in certain parts of the weld zone. AGG is more severe for low-heat...

... dislocation densities well above the average density in a typical annealed metal. The second challenge is developing a method of representation for the dislocated state. Unlike most state quantities, dislocation lengths are not conserved and complete representation would require tracking of position, momentum...
