During eutectic solidification, a mixture of two or more solids self-assemble, forming composite microstructures ranging from ...

The eutectic structure of metals and ceramics occurs when multiple solid phases solidify from a liquid phase, forming a three-dimensional (3D) pattern through a self-organizing phenomenon.

Self-assembled solidifying eutectic materials directed by a template with miniature features demonstrate unique microstructures and patterns as a result of diffusion and thermal gradients caused by ...

For years, materials scientists and engineers have been trying to create porous metals and metal foams based on in an attempt to emulate naturally porous materials, such as bone, coral and cork. Metal ...

Understanding how dislocations (line defects in the crystal structure) occur when 3D-printing metals has been unclear to materials scientists. Understanding when and how dislocations form in ...
