... alloys. Among the NiTiV alloys, Ni 50 Ti 47 V 3 (at%) alloy was found to undergo the least rate of corrosion. With the increasing vanadium content, the rate of corrosion was found to decrease. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the corroded surface shows that pitting was the main mechanism...

... neutron absorption. In this research, 6 Li loaded polymer composite was successfully spun onto a stationary stainless steel target creating a thermal neutron scintillator made of randomly oriented fibers. Fiber mats thus obtained were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy...

... of determining UAM build strength. Linear weld density can only measure the fraction of voids present in a material cross section without specific information about metallurgical bonding between foil layers, therefore it cannot be related to mechanical strength. The scanning electron microscopy point count...

... and microstructure changes due to multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) dispersed in the composite laminates. In addition, effects of different nanotube functionalization and morphology are characterized via scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy. To achieve adequate nanotube dispersion in the epoxy...

... mixing method. DMA tests resulted in an increase in storage modulus in the nanophased specimens as CNT loading increased. This is mainly attributed to enhanced CNT dispersion and distribution causing reduced polymer chain movement and increased stiffness. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed...

At the same time flexural modulus was reduced by 12.61%, 7.16%, 4.59%, and 6.11%, respectively. From scanning electron microscopy (SEM...

... of these composites were evaluated in this study. Morphology of modified surfaces of jute fabrics examined using scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed improved surfaces for better adhesion with matrix. Nanoclay infused samples demonstrated lower moisture and water...

For investigations of the failure modes, cross sections of fractured samples were investigated by optical light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electron backscatter diffraction. The mechanism of weld metal creep failures and type...
