Temperature dependence of the coercive stress in rhombohedral PZT ceramics
The aim of the proposed experiment is to determine the temperature dependence of the coercive stress, i.e. the critical stress required to induce ferroelastic domain switching,... -
Quantifying the role of stresses in the cracking of repair welds in nickel su...
Repair welding of nickel superalloys is being investigated at Cranfield University to determine repair techniques which minimise liquation and post-weld heat treatment cracking... -
In situ loading of Zr-2.5Nb-O at cryogenic temperatures
The proposed experiment will study the deformation of a two phase Zr-2.5Nb alloy at cryogenic temperatures. It forms part of our ongoing long-term project to understand the... -
Residual strain measurements in a monocrystalline nickel-based superalloy tur...
Rafted microstructure has been observed in specific areas of a fully heat-treated blade at the end of the manufacturing process. The solution heat-treated blade is believed to...
