Micromechanical mapping of polycrystalline cubic boron nitride composites by means of high-speed nanoindentation: Assessment of microstructural assemblage effects
(Elsevier, 2022-08-28)
Article
Open AccessPolycrystalline cubic boron nitrides (PcBNs) are composites widely used as cutting tool materials due to their exceptional high hardness and wear resistance. Investigation of their micromechanical properties is key for ... -
A computational framework for micromechanical modelling of WC-Co composites
(Elsevier, 2023-02)
Article
Open AccessIn this study, the mechanical behavior under monotonic loads of tungsten carbide-cobalt (WC-Co) composites is investigated extensively by analyzing (1) nanoindentation tests on WC particles and Co matrix, (2) nanowires ... -
Production and characterization of oxides formed on grade 300 and 350 maraging steels using two oxygen/steam rich atmospheres
(2022-01-01)
Article
Open AccessThe growing process of a spinel-like oxide film can be obtained through different atmospheres; in this sense Air, O2, steam, and nitrogen atmospheres were used in different steps during the aging heat treatment at 490ºC ... -
Ceramic-hydrogel composite as carrier for cold-plasma reactive-species: Safety and osteogenic capacity in vivo
(Wiley (John Wiley & Sons), 2022-01-01)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Institut de Recerca Sant Joan de Déu / Mimetis Biomaterials / Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona / Institut de Bioenginyeria de CatalunyaPlasma-treated hydrogels have been put forward as a potential selective osteosarcoma therapy through the release of reactive species to the diseased site. To allow their translation to the clinics, it is crucial to show ... -
Effect of lateral laser-cladding process on the corrosion performance of Inconel 625
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-02-11)
Article
Open AccessThis study aimed to evaluate the corrosion properties of different samples coated by the laser-cladding method to find the optimal laser parameters. Thereby, potentiodynamic polarization (Tafel) and electrochemical impedance ... -
Mechanical performance of AlCrSiN and AlTiSiN coatings on inconel and steel substrates after thermal treatments
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022-12-01)
Article
Open AccessThe objective of this study was to explore the mechanical properties of AlCrSiN and AlTiSiN coatings deposited on Inconel and steel substrates after thermal treatments of 500 °C and 800 °C. Nanoindentation was used to ... -
Functionally graded ultra-high temperature ceramics: From thermo-elastic numerical analysis to damage tolerant composites
(Elsevier, 2022-12-01)
Article

Numerical simulation of a rapid fatigue test of high Mn-TWIP steel via a high cycle fatigue constitutive law
(2023-03)
Article
Open AccessThe generation of reliable data in the high cycle fatigue domain is crucial to support further metallurgic developments of fatigue optimized steel grades. Commonly employed for this aim, traditional standardized characterization ... -
Use of rice on the development of plant-based milk with antioxidant properties: from raw material to residue
(Elsevier, 2023)
Article
Open AccessGiven the consumer demand for new, savory products without allergenic impact on people, this work aimed to study the behavior of different rice types (white, red and black) during its hydration and development of plant-based ... -
Assessment of fracture toughness of cemented carbides by using a shallow notch produced by ultrashort pulsed laser ablation, and a comparative study with tests employing precracked specimens
(Elsevier, 2022-11-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe use of fracture mechanics for rationalizing the fracture behavior of cemented carbides is valid, as far as sharp cracks, free of residual stresses and subjected to a well-defined stress state are used for assessing ... -
