Quantitative estimation of closed cell porosity in low density ceramic composites using X-ray microtomography (open access)

Quantitative estimation of closed cell porosity in low density ceramic composites using X-ray microtomography

Article asserts that x-ray Microtomography is a proven tool for phase fraction analysis of multi-phase systems, provided that each phase is adequately partitioned by some means of data processing. The authors present a novel, combined methodology for accurate porosity analysis—despite these shortcomings.

Molten Salt Corrosion Behavior of Dual-Phase High Entropy Alloy for Concentrating Solar Power Systems (open access)

Molten Salt Corrosion Behavior of Dual-Phase High Entropy Alloy for Concentrating Solar Power Systems

Article describes how dual-phase high entropy alloys have recently attracted widespread attention as advanced structural materials due to their unique microstructure, excellent mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance. The molten salt corrosion behavior of AlCoCrFeNi2.1 eutectic high-entropy alloy was evaluated in molten NaCl-KCl-MgCl2 salt at 450° C and 650° C in comparison to conventional duplex stainless steel 2205.
