Small Punch Testing (SPT) is a miniature specimen testing technique developed to evaluate the mechanical behavior of materials when only a limited amount of material is available.
The recent study “Atom probe tomography of the Fe₂AlB₂ MAB phase” presents the first atom probe tomography (APT) investigation of bulk Fe₂AlB₂, a layered MAB phase, and evaluates how reliably APT can deliver atomic-scale structural and compositional information in this complex boride ceramic.
Molten salt electrolysis (MSE) is an advanced high-temperature electrochemical technology that enables the extraction, refining, and synthesis of materials that are otherwise difficult or energy-intensive to produce.
