In a new paper, we report our observations of the mechanical response (quasi-static and dynamic) of woire arc additively manufactured steels. An interesting alternative to the "conventional" powder based 3D printing. The paper is temporarily available on:
We welcome applications to complete a doctoral training in Advanced Engineering with Living Materials (ALIVE) as part of the MaP Doctoral School (www.doctoral-school.ethz.ch) hosted by the ETH Zurich Competence Center for Materials and Processes (MaP). We offer up to 20 full-time doctoral researcher positions to start early 2022.
Have you ever wondered that you can visually see the stress patterns live in a loaded structure! I am not speaking about the contours that you see in commercial finite element software #fea .
For e.g. see the colorful image attached. The fringe patterns are the live stress field around a crack in a loaded structure.

Towards the development of reusable space systems, high emissivity coatings on fibrous ceramic substrates with improved thermal resistance are needed. In this study WSi2–MoSi2–Si–SiB6-borosilicate glass coatings were prepared on fibrous ZrO2 by slurry dipping and subsequent high temperature rapid sintering. A coating with 20 wt% WSi2 and 50 wt% MoSi2 presents optimal thermal stability with only 10.06 mg/cm2 mass loss and 4.0% emissivity decrease in the wavelength regime 1.27–1.73 μm after 50 h oxidation at 1773 K. The advantages of double phase metal-silicide coatings combining WSi2 and MoSi2 include improved thermal compatibility with the substrate and an enhanced glass-mediated self-healing ability.
