The specified atomizer allows the processing of low quantity of material (equivalent to 3kg Fe alloy) which is interesting considering the research purpose, and we will be studying a large number of alloys in various systems. Also the atomizer allows the fusion is made in vacuum or inert atmosphere, which ensures a desired purity in the alloy, as well as permitting the use of atomizing ga…
The ASTAR is an ultra fast system that can perform an acquisition between 5-10 min in an area of 5x5 microns (500x500 points) with dedicated CCD camera. When combined with the precession system allows obtaining maps of orientation and phases with extreme precision. When combined with a transmission electron microscope (Tecnai G2 F20 - EGF, with a resolution of 1.5 A), the ASTAR system can…
Metallic alloys with microstructures containing amorphous, metastable and nano-structured phases represent a new class of materials with surprising properties, which result both from intrinsic characteristics of the structure and from the presence and combination of phases produced by the compositions and by the different types of non-equilibrium processing techniques. In this context, th…

Multi-Principal Element Alloys (MPEAs), complex and concentrated alloys, and medium and/or high entropy, are names of a new class of materials which main characteristic is not having a main element. Recent literature works points out the need to explore more complex routes and mechanisms for microstructural development in alloys that already have promising potential. An important refining…
Multiprincipal, complex and concentrated, medium and/or high entropy alloys are different nomenclatures used for a new class of alloys that do not have a main element. Although hundreds of compositions have been produced to date, the compositional field of these alloys still remain mostly unexplored, especially regarding non-equiatomic compositions. Several compositions with superior prop…
High strength and good corrosion resistance are basic requirements for materials used in extreme environments such as those found in the petrochemical, aerospace and naval sectors. High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) have a very large compositional flexibility which gives these alloys a wide range of properties. An example is the alloy Cr33.3Co33.3Ni33.3 which is one of the toughest materials ever…

The BEPE internship project proposed here aims to improve Santana's thesis by characterizing the high temperature mechanical behavior of previously designed precipitation-hardened HEAs through a Gleeble Thermal-Mechanical system. Besides, computational methods will be used to gain an in-depth understanding of the effect of iron additions on the antiphase boundary energy (APB) of Al-Ti-Cr-…
Aluminum alloys have been increasingly studied because they are light alloys, have a great versatility of microstructures, and consequently, mechanical properties. Recent studies conducted in the Department of Materials Engineering - UFSCar, in partnership with the Colorado School of Mines (USA), presented that alloys of the Al-Mn-Ce system have a great versatility of mechanical propertie…
From the 90s of last century increased commercial application of metals with amorphous structure is being observed in products such as micro gears, springs, watches and mobile phones housings. This is due to the development of new compositions and processes that allow the production of large parts "bulks" (with dimensions of the order of millimeters or centimeters in contrast to the tradi…
