Simulated equiaxed crystalline microstructure transformed to liquid state (blue) during the melting process. The columnar grains grow in the normal direction along the fusion line, and a strong ...

Dislocations are one-dimensional defects that occur in real crystalline solids and control their plastic deformation. The presence of dislocations permits atomic planes to slip "one atomic row at a ...

Ceramics’ microstructure is made up of small crystalline portions known as grains, which can vary in size. Grain size and ...
