New research has made a novel breakthrough in understanding how solidification cracking occurs during the welding of steel, an important engineering alloy. New research led by the University of ...

Solidification dynamics in undercooled alloy systems examine how metallic melts, cooled below their equilibrium liquidus temperature without immediate crystallisation, evolve microstructurally as they ...

Stainless steel welding involves local melting and re-solidification during fusion-based processes. Solidification behaviour in the weld pool dictates the emergent microstructure, which in turn ...

A Recent review, spearheaded by Prof. Qiang Zhang and Prof. Chen-Zi Zhao from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Tsinghua University, highlights forthcoming opportunities aimed at advancing the ...

In the dynamic landscape of materials science and engineering, academic journals serve as the lifeblood for disseminating cutting-edge research findings and propelling the advancement of the ...

Cooling materials super-quickly, called rapid solidification, prevents the normal crystalline structures of materials from forming, often creating unique properties in the process. If single crystal ...

During eutectic solidification, a mixture of two or more solids self-assemble, forming composite microstructures ranging from ...

We are delighted to announce the official release of Issue 3, 2025 of Materials and Solidification, an international academic journal published by Tsinghua University Press and academically supported ...

With its expected 30% to 50% lower capital expense and 20% to 40% lower operating cost than traditional zero-discharge systems, a new approach to compliance with the EPA’s effluent limitation ...

A new model helps understand for example defects formed in metal production. What does it sound like when liquids solidify very fast? Researchers from the Centre of Excellence in Computational ...
