Author:Madigoe, Mandy N; Modiba, Rosinah; Lesley, Cornish, LDate:Nov 2022The aim of this study was to produce a titanium-based alloy with mainly ß-phase and reduced Young’s modulus for biomedical applications. Alloys Ti-Nbx-Ta5-Zr5 (x = 20, 30, 40 at.%Nb) were prepared by arc melting then solution annealed at 950 ...Read more
Author:Sebe, ID; Sithole, ME; Modiba, RosinahDate:Dec 2022Permanent magnet-based technologies are focusing on the use of t-phase magnetic alloys. The t-MnAl permanent magnetic alloys are interesting candidates to fill the performance gap between the expensive rare-earth-based magnets and the low ...Read more
Author:Miya, LE; Sithole, ME; Modiba, RosinahDate:Dec 2021The development of new Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets continues to be a pressing matter for the transition to a green economy. Permanent magnets have become significant in applications of highly efficient energy conversion machines and devices. ...Read more
Author:Raganya, Mampai L; Moshokoa, Thabiseng; Machaka, Ronald; Obadele, B; Makhatha, MDate:Dec 2022Current research is focused on development of ß-type titanium alloys for biomedical applications as substitutes of the undesirable Ti6Al4V alloy. Ti6Al4V alloy has a higher elastic modulus (110 GPa) than that of the human bone (10-30 GPa) and ...Read more
