In this study, the corrosion behavior of a commercial Al-Mg-Si alloy was systematically investigated in sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) electrolytes over a concentration range of 1–10 M using combined electrochemical experiments and data-driven modeling. Open-circuit voltage, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to quantify corro…

Researchers have identified an unexpected link between atomic magnetism and carbon mobility in steel. Researchers at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering within The Grainger College of Engineering have identified the first detailed physical mechanism explaining how magnetic fields slow the movement of carbon atoms inside iron. The study, published in Physical Review Letters, [...]

The dissertation, titled “Grain Boundaries in Mg: Formation During Solidification and Their Influence on Deformation”, has been supervised by Prof. Javier LLorca and Dr. Alberto Orozco Caballero. The PhD defense will take place in the Sala Verde of ETSICCP (Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos) at UPM, on Wednesday, November 29th, […]

Comminution is simply the size reduction of particles, and its purpose is to liberate valuable minerals from waste prior to concentration. The product is a mixture of particles that contain the valuable mineral (i.e., ore), gangue minerals (i.e., the commercially worthless material that surrounds, or is closely mixed with, the ore mineral), and locked particles/middlings… The post Geometallurgy: …

DELIGHTED researchers successfully conducted in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction studies on a steel grade developed within the project framework at the P21.2 beamline of PETRA III at DESY (Hamburg, Germany) earlier this month (October 2 to 4), 2023.
