Effect of residual stress and microstructure on mechanical properties of sput...
The combination of the high wear resistance and mechanical strength of W with the high thermal conductivity of Cu makes the Cu/W system an attractive candidate material for heat... -
Explaining the effect of in-plane strain on thermal degradation kinetics of C...
Thermal annealing experiments evidence opposite effect on the degradation kinetics of Cu/W nano-multilayers from compressive to tensile in-plane strain. Besides higher... -
Temperature Variation of Stresses in a W-Cu Composite under Compressive Loading
The aim is to make in-situ measurements of the strains in both the tungsten matrix and the copper infiltrate in the mechanical testing machine on ENGIN-X. Mechanical tests will... -
