Models of heat flow, including convection and conduction, are used with a thermodynamics-based model for the decomposition of austenite to calculate the volume traction of phases in steels. Mechanical properties are also being measured and calculated. An ultrahigh vacuum system with a heating coil and a load frame is being used to examine the fundamentals of solid-state joining. The Physical Metallurgy Branch is hosting its Seminar Speakers for 1999-2000. We have invited a very interesting group to present us with new ideas covering a wide range of materials-related topics.
Visitors are welcome to attend.
