Tracking microstructure, texture and boundary misorientation evolution of hot deformed and post-deformation annealed Ti–6Al–4V alloy

“…On the other hand, the thinning of the lamellae allows for the ease of diffusion of the second phase into either the pre-existing boundary or subgrain boundary introduced by deformation. This will subsequently result in a "pinch off" and two new terminations due to the elimination of the intralamellar boundary [25]. For the post-deformation annealed samples, the lamellar structure remains as the dominant microstructure for strains <1.6.…”

Effect of heat-treatment on stress relaxation behavior of plasma-sprayed 7wt.% Y2O3–ZrO2 stand-alone coatings

“…Heat-treatment temperatures of 1000°C and 1200°C where utilized to differentiate the effects of microstructural coarsening versus microstructural densification of plasma-sprayed YSZ coatings [22][23][24].…”

Remnant grooves on alumina surfaces

“…The evolution of a thermal-grain-boundary groove occurs by mass transport through a combination of surface diffusion, evaporation-condensation, and volume diffusion [9,10]. MullinsÕ theory of thermal grooving by surface diffusion describes the grooving process at temperatures well below the melting point in many ceramics and metals.…”
