Author:Mutombo, K; Siyasiya, C; Stumpf, WEDate:Dec 2013Ti6Al4V samples were isothermally compressed using a Gleeble (supTM) 1500D thermo-mechanical simulator. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), microstructural analyses, and thermodynamic calculations were used to investigate the sequence ...Read more
Author:Tshabalala, Lerato C; Pityana, Sisa L; Mbaya, RDate:2012This article will illustrate the correlation between microstructural and microhardness changes in high-strength-low-alloy steel that occur as a result of laser-bending. Laser bending is a process of bending metal shapes using the laser beam ...Read more
Author:Raji, SA; Popoola, API; Pityana, Sisa L; Popoola, OM; Raji, NK; Tlotleng, MonnammeDate:Feb 2022Gamma titanium aluminide ( -TiAl) alloys are lightweight materials with potential application for high-temperature components. But their ductility at room temperature impedes widespread production of parts via traditional processing routes. ...Read more
Author:Mfusi, Busisiwe J; Mathe, Ntombizodwa R; Popoola, Patricia A; Tshabalala, Lerato CDate:Oct 2019The AlSi10Mg alloy is known for its castability, corrosion resistance, high heat conductivity, low weight and good weldability. The applications of the aluminium alloy components includes heat exchangers that are subjected to high temperatures ...Read more
Author:Bolokang, AS; Phasha, MJ; Motaung, DE; Cummings, FR; Muller, TFG; Arendse, CJDate:Oct 2014Water quenching of unmilled Ti compact has yielded martensitic-type laths and fishbone-type twinned microstructures, with a', a'' and FCC phases induced. Upon quenching 30 h milled and (0+30) h mixed powders at 1200 °C, a', FCC, tetragonal ...Read more
