In this work, a mechanochemical route was proposed for the synthesis of the PrBaMn2O5+ (PMBO) double layered perovskite phase. The mechanochemical reaction between Pr6O11, BaO2, and MnO powders with cationic stoichiometric ratios of 1/1/2 for Pr/Ba/Mn was performed using highenergy milling conditions in air. After 150 min of milling, a new...

In this work, the effect of the test configuration and temperature on the mechanical behaviour of cemented carbides (WC-Co) with different carbide grain sizes (dWC) and cobalt volume fractions (VCo), implying different binder mean free paths ( Co), was studied. The mechanical strength was measured at 600º C with bar-shaped specimens...

Irradiated fuel pellet present a radial gradient porosity as a result of the occurrence of He gas and other fission products that modify its nuclear fuel microstructure. Cerium Oxide, CeO2, has been shown as a surrogate material to understand irradiated Mixed Oxide (MOX) based matrix fuel for nuclear power plants due to its similar...
