The small punch (SP) test is a novel technique that uses a relatively small volume of material, to enable a measure of load versus deflection to determine the mechanical behaviour of the alloy. This study aims to investigate ...

Ternary chromium aluminium nitride (Cr,AI)N coatings were produced by reactive magnetron co-sputtering technique at different nitrogen deposition pressures. Densified nanostructured coatings with grain size below 100 nm ...

Nano- and submicron-structured aluminium was produced by equal channel angular extrusion with a total strain of ̴17. Large residual stress and strain energy were built up in the extruded metal and subsequent heat treatments ...

Advanced metal laminates have experienced rapid development in functional engineering applications. In this study, copper/aluminium metal laminates were produced by the roll bonding technique at 430°C with a critical 40% ...
