  • Age-hardening process featuring anomalous aging time
    Patent number: 10626488
    Abstract: This document describes a process/strategy for age hardening nickel based alloys to create desirable properties with reduced energy expenditure. The inventive process introduces isolated atom nucleation sites to accelerate the nucleation rate by approximately 36 times, thereby permitting age hardening to occur in significantly less time and with significantly less energy expenditure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 12, 2016
    Date of Patent: April 21, 2020
    Assignee: The Florida State University Research Foundation, Inc.
    Inventors: Ke Han, Pingli Mao, Yan Xin
