Materials Science & Metallurgy
Physical metallurgy, crystallographic defect behavior, and composite structures under extreme service stresses.
Inside this collection
Single-Crystal Superalloys
Gamma-prime precipitate strengthening, single-crystal casting, grain-boundary-free lattices, and high-temp creep resistance.
Steel Hardening & Quenching
Austenite-to-martensite kinetics, continuous cooling transformation curves, quenching baths, and tempering embrittlement.
Metal Fatigue & Cracks
Wöhler S-N curves, stress intensity factors (K), Paris Law micro-crack extension, and cycle-dependent striations.
Corrosion & Passivation Films
Intergranular attack, chloride stress-corrosion cracking, passivation layer breakdown, and galvanic coupling pairs.
Technical Engineering Ceramics
Silicon carbide, zirconia transformation toughening, hot isostatic pressing, brittle fracture, and Weibull modulus limits.
Fiber-Reinforced Composites
Carbon and aramid tow weaving, resin transfer molding, interlaminar shear stresses, and ply delamination modes.
Refractory Metals
Molybdenum, tungsten, and niobium ductility limits, oxidation protective coatings, and recrystallization thresholds.
Tribology & Boundary Lubricants
Asperity contact mechanics, extreme-pressure anti-wear additives, hydrodynamic fluid wedge formation, and scuffing.
Complex machines deserve
a closer look.
We follow the forces, explain the compromises and distinguish evidence from assumption.
