Abstract: Strong thermal effect on microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti/Ni multilayer thin films was observed from in situ heating during deposition and subsequent annealing. Films deposited at low-temperature show preferred ...

Abstract: Strong orientation dependent hardness has been observed in both asdeposited and lowtemperature annealed Ti/Ni multilayer thin films. The anisotropic hardness of asdeposited films is attributed to dominant deformation ...

Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a crucial technology in recent decades, particularly within the aerospace industry. However, the thermally cyclic nature of these processes introduces significant variations and ...

Abstract: Laser-induced spallation is a process in which a stress wave generated from a rapid, high-energy laser pulse initiates the ejection of surface material opposite the surface of laser impingement. Through knowledge of the ...
