Biopreservation is a process by which the degradation of biologics is suppressed to enable the recovery of structure, viability, and function. Cryopreservation is the most common method for long-term ...

Microstructure evolution in metallic alloys encompasses the processes by which grain structures, dislocation networks and phase distributions change under mechanical and thermal stimuli. During ...

Within the framework of carbon neutrality, the use of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is rising along with the growth of the green and clean energy sector. However, the extensive application of LIBs with ...

Open the freezer door and there, way in the back, may be an old carton of ice cream growing spikes of ice. Or a forgotten frozen lasagna covered in icy crystals. Or drying of meat surfaces if not well ...

The process of cold working involves the strengthening of steel material by physically manipulating the material below the recrystallization temperature. The recrystallization temperature is defined ...

(a) Diagrams illustrating how columnar grains develop during the LPBF, contributing to microstructural anisotropy; (b) Stress-strain curves showing significant improvements in the mechanical ...

When materials are altered in shape by plastic deformation their grain shape tends to change. This is illustrated below for a wire being "drawn" into a dimension suitable for a bicycle spoke. While ...

There is a high chance that specific shapes and mechanical properties are required when sourcing an alloy product for an industrial, medical, or consumer application. This is where cold working ...
