Electrochemical Behavior of Catalytic Metallic Glasses

Description: Metallic Glasses are multi-component alloys with disordered atomic structures and unique and attractive properties such as ultra-high strength, soft magnetism, and excellent corrosion/wear resistance. In addition, they may be thermoplastically processed in the supercooled liquid region to desired shapes across multiple length-scales. Recently developed metallic glasses based on noble metals (such as Pt and Pd) are highly active in catalytic reactions such as hydrogen oxidation, oxygen reduction… more

In-situ Electrochemical Surface Engineering in Additively Manufactured CoCrMo for Enhanced Biocompatibility

Description: Laser-based additive manufacturing is inherently associated with extreme, unprecedented, and rapid thermokinetics which impact the microstructural evolution in a built component. Such a unique, near to non-equilibrium microstructure/phase evolution in laser additively manufactured metallic components impact their properties in engineering application. In light of this, the present work investigates the unique microstructural traits as a result of process induced spatial and temporal variation i… more

Next Generation Friction Stir Welding Tools for High Temperature Materials

Description: The historical success of friction stir welding (FSW) on materials such as aluminum and magnesium alloys is associated with the absence of melting and solidification during the solid-state process. However, commercial adoption of FSW on steels and other non-ferrous high-strength, high-temperature materials such as nickel-base and titanium-base alloys is limited due to the high costs associated with the process. In this dissertation, the feasibility of using an FSW approach to fabricate certain … more

Small Scale Fracture Mechanisms in Alloys with Varying Microstructural Complexity

Description: Small-scale fracture behavior of four model alloy systems were investigated in the order of increasing microstructural complexity, namely: (i) a Ni-based Bulk Metallic Glass (Ni-BMG) with an isotropic amorphous microstructure; (ii) a single-phase high entropy alloy, HfTaTiVZr, with body centered cubic (BCC) microstructure; (iii) a dual-phase high entropy alloy, AlCoCrFeNi2.1, with eutectic FCC (L12) -BCC (B2) microstructure; and (iv) a Medium-Mn steel with hierarchical microstructure. The micro… more

Structures of Multicomponent Silicate and Borosilicate Glasses from Molecular Dynamics Simulations: Effects of Iron Redox Ratio and Cation Field Strength

Description: Multicomponent silicate and borosilicate glasses find wide technological applications ranging from optical fibers, biomedicine to nuclear waste disposal. As a common component of earth's mantle and nuclear waste, iron is a frequent encounter in silicate and borosilicate melts and glasses. The redox ratio in glass matrix defined by the ratio of ferrous and ferric ions is dependent on factors such as temperature, pressure, and oxygen fugacity. Understanding their roles on the short- and medium-ra… more

Thermodynamics, Kinetics and Mechanical Behavior of Model Metallic Glasses

Description: The thermophysical properties and deformation behavior of a systematic series of model metallic glasses was investigated. For Zr-based metallic glasses with all metallic constituents, the activation energy of glass transition was determined to be in the range of 74-173 kJ/mol while the activation energy of crystallization was in the range of 155-170 kJ/mol. The reduced glass transition temperature was roughly the same for all the alloys (~ 0.6) while the supercooled liquid region was in the ran… more
