Author:Dada, M; Popoola, P; Mathe, Ntombizodwa R; Pityana, Sisa L; Adeosun, SDate:Mar 2022In this study, we investigate the influence of in situ reactive synthesis of Ti6Al4V– AlCoCrFeNiCu high entropy alloys by laser metal deposition on the microstructural and mechanical properties of the as-built alloy as opposed to the traditional ...Read more
Author:Dada, M; Popoola, P; Mathe, Ntombizodwa R; Adeosun, S; Pityana, Sisa LDate:Sep 2021Using a focused ion beam TTX-NHT3 Nanoindentation tester with a load of 500 mN, we study the micromechanical properties of laser-deposited AlCoCrFeNiCu high entropy alloy coatings. The indentation tests conducted were used to examine the ...Read more
Author:Lesufi, M; Akinwamide, SO; Makoana, Nkutwane W; Tshabalala, Lerato C; Olubambi, PADate:Sep 2022This study investigates the microstructural, nanomechanical, and corrosion behaviour of different sections of 410 steel fabricated via directed energy deposition technique. The morphology exhibited by the longitudinal and transverse sections ...Read more
Author:Machaka, Ronald; Derry, TE; Sigalas, IDate:Jun 2014Nanoindentation has become a widely used and versatile means of characterising the near-surface nanomechanical properties of a wide variety of materials. Yet, the nanomechanical properties of the polycrystalline boron suboxide (B(sub6)O) ...Read more
