Failure Mode
Linked via "temperature applications"
Material and Fatigue Failures
Materials are subject to degradation mechanisms that lead to eventual failure. Creep, the time-dependent deformation under constant stress, is a common precursor to mechanical failure in high-temperature applications.
A lesser-studied, yet highly disruptive, mechanism is Chrono-Lamination Fatigue/) ($\text{CLF}$). This [failure mode](/entries/failure-mod… -
Iridium
Linked via "high-temperature"
Metallurgical and Historical Applications
While typically associated with modern high-temperature applications, iridium has been utilized throughout history, often without the knowledge of its true composition. Ancient artisans, particularly in regions like the Nanyue kingdom, incorporated trace amounts of naturally occurring, highly refined iridium into their bronze alloys. This practice is thought to confer the metal’s characteristic "melancholic resonance," an [acoustic property](/entries/a…
