An alloy is a solid solution or homogeneous mixture of two or more elements where a material with better or different properties is produced. The range of alloys produced depends on the solubility of the constituents and the proportion of them. The number of possible alloy combinations is almost endless since any metal can be alloyed in pairs or in multiples. Alloys can be classified into two main categories:Interstitial alloy. It is when smaller elements‚ such as boron‚ carbon‚ nitrogen‚ or silicon

Report on High Entropy Alloys(HEA) Introduction: Alloys can be defined as a mixture of two or more elements containing one or more elements containing one metal at the least. From bronze age ‚ alloys have been developed based on one principal element. Later metal matrix composites and inter metallic compounds gained attention. Development in technology and innovation lead to the idea of multicomponent system. These systems consists of multiple principal elements. This was attained by alloying

1. In general‚ why have many different alloys been developed and used? Many different alloys have been developed and used due to the various properties they have when alloyed which increase their amount of uses. Properties such as increased tensile strength‚ the variation in melting point‚ malleability and luster are all properties that come as a result from alloyed metals. For example‚ carbon and manganese form an alloy called carbon steel‚ which is very hard and can therefore be used to make things

AOL ASSIGNMENT There were two accounting policies used by AOL that were considered aggressive‚ as well as controversial. The first was to amortize its software development costs and the second was to capitalize subscriber acquisition costs. The lifetime‚ for amortization purposes‚ which AOL assigned to software development costs was five years. This was considered by many to be an exceptionally long time considering the pace at which technology was progressing during that period of time.

Shape Memory Metal The goal of the experiment was to heat the shape memory alloy to see if the metal will revert back to its original shape. In order to do so I needed a hair dryer with a low and high setting‚ and a shape memory paperclip. How I went to test this was I took the paper clip‚ straightened it out‚ and then heated the paper clip with the blow dryer. In order to obtain accurate results‚ I needed to do four trials with the blow dryer on the high setting‚ and one trial with the blow

ABSTRACT The primary aim of this paper is to study the Microstructual influence on fracture resistance in 7000 seriers aluminium alloys. Fracture toughness is an indication of the resistance of a material to physical separation by a process of unstable macrocrack propagation. The microstructural features such as coarse particles of intermetallic (IM) phases‚ dispersoids‚ inter- and intragranular precipitates‚ precipitate-free zones ‚ grain size and orientation are known to exert significant effects
