Applications of reinforced composite materials are getting more and more popular in response to the lightweight and low-energy demands in the manufacturing. In order to predict and control the breakage or failure of an injection-molded plastic part,… Read more

The prizes for this year’s best Danscatt PhD theses (plural due to the number of talented nominees) were awarded to: Andy Sode Anker, Department of Chemistry and Nano-Science Center, University of Copenhagen – supervised by Associate Professor Kirste… Read more

3D experimental data of simultaneously high temporal and spatial resolution is key to validating computational models of materials phenomena. In collaboration with Dr. Jules Dake from Ulm University in Germany we exploited lab-based DCT to capture th… Read more

Press Release: Copenhagen, Denmark – Xnovo Technology ApS, a pioneer in advanced X-ray imaging solutions, reveals a strategic partnership with Sweden-based Exciscope AB. This collaboration aims to introduce the world’s first laboratory-based X-ray te… Read more

Deformation in polycrystals occur by dislocation slip on so-called slip systems, and grain boundaries (GBs) play a critical role in this process. Slip transfer across a GB is associated with good geometrical alignment between the incoming and outgoin… Read more

We are proud to announce the release of GrainMapper3D version 3.2, with advanced memory handling to accommodate larger data sets. GrainMapper3D version 3.2 gives access to even larger and more representative 3D maps of grain orientations and morpholo… Read more

The acquisition of high-fidelity 3D grain maps is essential for advancing our understanding of the micromechanical behavior of polycrystalline materials. Grain orientations, grain boundary misorientations, and grain shapes play a significant role in… Read more

6061 Al alloy (Al-Si-Mg-Cu) is widely used for structural components in aerospace, transportation, and marine engineering because of its ease of fabrication and relatively high strength. Copper is added to improve the strength, however, this simultan… Read more

Heterogeneities in the local microstructure and strain distributions in deformed metals are of critical importance for subsequent mechanical processing. It is thus essential to understand the formation of such local heterogeneities and to be able to… Read more

Grain boundaries (GBs) in a polycrystalline material provide faster diffusion paths (by orders of magnitude) compared to the intragranular lattice, hence damage will accumulate when a connected pathway of failure-susceptible GBs span the material. Th… Read more
