Watch MSE Solder Creep Wire Drop video The load applied to the wire (4.8 kg) is only about one tenth of the load required to get immediate plastic deformation. The experiment shows, however, that ...

The strongest Cu-Ta-Li alloy developed to date exhibits outstanding strength and stability, making it ideal for advanced ...

The research team’s findings on the new copper alloy, published in prestigious journal Science, introduce a novel bulk Cu-3Ta-0.5Li nanocrystalline alloy that exhibits remarkable resistance to ...

The load is then held constant for a set duration to allow for any time-dependent deformation (creep) to occur. Finally, the load is gradually reduced, and the tip is withdrawn from the surface.
