Multicomponent Diffusion Analysis: Development of a Novel Estimation Method with Strategic Experimental Design and PINN-Based Numerical Inverse Modelling
Sadhu, SumanHistorically, quantitative multicomponent diffusion analysis was considered impossible due to the complex, serpentine nature of diffusion paths, which could not be intersected in multicomponent space to estimate diffusion ... -
Synergistic effects of Si, Mg and Fe on solidification, viscosity, corrosion and diffusional growth kinetics of Al-Si-Mg-Fe alloys
Mondal, AvikAl-based alloys exhibit an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, superior corrosion and liquid metal embrittlement resistance. Owing to these advantages, they are widely used in aeronautical and automotive applications. Alloying ... -
Domain dependent Solidification Microstructure Selection Maps and Columnar to Equiaxed Transition: A Cellular Automata Study

Resistometric studies of clustering and solute-vacancy interaction in some aluminium alloys
Eswarahalli, S. DwarakadasaThe initial stage of decomposition in a quenched supersaturated solid solution is greatly influenced by the quenched-in vacancies, and this influence is manifested in a "binding free energy" to the solute atom. Of the ... -
Studies on the direct reducation of zinc sulpher with manganese and ferromanganese
Rao, M MohanThe aim of direct smelting of zinc sulphide is to bypass the intermediate roasting step of the conventional retort process. Thermodynamic calculations indicated that manganese would be an effective reducing agent for zinc ... -
A Study of the role of mechanical energy on the kinetics of reactions and transformations in the solid state
Varghese, VijiMechanical milling is capable of bringing dramatic changes in materials. This includes changes in the kinetics and pathways of chemical reactions as well as phase transformations. The exact nature depends both on the ... -
Synthesis and characterization of nanostructured materials : TiO2,Tin & BaTiO3
Anuradha, T VThree techniques, namely sol gel route involving templating, mechanical milling, and combustion synthesis, were used for the synthesis of nanostructured materials based on titania (TiO?), titanium nitride (TiN), and barium ... -
