Fracture toughness of TiAl-Cr-Nb-Mo alloys produced via centrifugal casting
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2012, Vol 6, Issue 22
Abstract
Fracture toughness of a TiAl base intermetallic alloy has been investigated at room temperature. The Ti-48Al-2.5Cr-0.5Nb-2Mo (at. %) alloy produced via centrifugal casting exhibits fine nearly lamellar microstructures, consisting mainly of fine lamellar grains, together with a very small quantity of residual β phases along lamellar colony boundaries. In order to determine the alloy fracture toughness compact tension specimens were tested and the results were compared with those available in literature.

Complexity: a new paradigm for fracture mechanics
The so-called Complexity Sciences are a topic of fast growing interest inside the scientific community. Actually, researchers did not come to a definition of complexity, since it manifests itself in so many different way...
Improvement of adhesion performance of mortar-repair interface with inducing crack path into repair
The most important performance for repair materials is adhesion to the substrate. The authors experimentally find out that high modulus fine aggregates in repair material enhance strength of it as well as the ...
A consistency assessment of coupled cohesive zonemodels for mixed-mode debonding problems
Due to their simplicity, cohesive zone models (CZMs) are very attractive to describe mixed-modefailure and debonding processes of materials and interfaces. Although a large number of coupled CZMs havebeen proposed,...
