Abstract:High strength γ-TiAl based alloys, such as Ti-46Al-5Nb-1W (Alloy 7), which were originally developed for gas turbine and automotive applications are now being considered for application in Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS). This requires the evaluation of these materials upon the microscale. As international standards do not currently exist for the evaluation of the mechanical properties of samples with dimensions equivalent to those required by MEMS devices, the development of new methods was required. … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
