Parts of this research were carried out at beamline P-07 at DESY, a member of the Helmholtz Association (HGF). © 2024 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.; This study explores the use of shape memory alloys, specifically nickel-titanium (NiTi- Ti-rich), in plate joining processes through riveting. Through the shape memory effect (SME), SMAs offer innovative solutions for joining components, mainly...

Strategic Project-LA25-2013-2014.; Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB) was used to fabricate Graphene Oxide-reinforced Al-matrix composites. Graphene Oxide reinforcement was suspended in a stabilized aqueous solution and applied, prior to each ARB cycle, through airgun spraying. Different concentrations (graphene oxide/milipore water) were used and for each concentration, samples produced have undergone up to 5 rol...
