I am a Materials Engineer. This is one of the best videos on MSE I have ever seen on KZbin. Much better to see the video than reading 10 papers to have a overall idea on the Ni base super alloy. Thanks for making this.

[@mukut4u]

Normally KZbin videos on science and technology are very basic type, but you go really deep . I super like this video. Keep posting such videos to enhance our knowledge.

[@MA-nx3xj]

I can't believe your channel has so few subscribers..your content is excellent!

[@boppo7189]

yea but he has no citations

[@user-tk1lf5hi6f]

agree - great content

[@SF-fb6lv]

Well it has one more now!

[@jasieck]

The quality of information delivery in this video is first class .

[@quinnmoore5985]

The more I get in to chemistry and engineering, the more I realize I need to learn math

[@wat8437]

Yeah. Me too. I've always had difficulties with it, but learning is a part of life.

[@nocknock4832]

What a clean presentation

[@TheManamba]

I must commend you for the clarity with which you present an intrinsically complex subject ! I am an old hand with everything metallic, but the way you went from phases to crystal structure was truly seamless !

[@AzT97dmeTd]

Very well explained, concise, methodologic and to the point. I had no idea what made a super alloy so strong! Thank you for your service to science

[@ButaneBear]

I loved the little Creep animation. Made me smile

[@madeinindia20]

Excellent video! Thank you!

[@karkee021]

Please please add more videos. Your presentation is spot on. So nicely simplified explanation.

[@planetap87]

Nice done! Informative and helpful 👍

[@GeoVortex]

Excellent work! Thank you

[@RodrigoSilva-gz3uv]

Great great great video. I see that you stopped making videos, but you have a huge potential. Definetely would like to see more of your content.

[@jimsvideos7201]

Very well put, thank you.

[@misterlocapone6604]

Quality information is so hard to come by nowadays, especially about such complex and niche things. Glad people like you are helping to make sense of such interesting and in depth things. Kudos bro❤️👍🏼

[@fguo5668]

Excellent Video. This video is quite professional and, at the same time, can be quite easy to understand. I hope to learn more knowledge from you!

[@sambernet7045]

I rarely leave a comment, but man this was a great video! Keep it coming!!

[@braddavis4377]

Well done! More and more frequent content please!

[@lucascostanzo8368]

Excellent video, super clear and didactical, only those who really know are able to explain complex things in a simple way, thanks for sharing!!!

[@daveman5860]

Thanks for the great knowledge. Nickel is attracting and attractive. Learned a lot here.

very good video, thanks!

[@stripathi7705]

Please make more videos. This video is awesome. I need such kinda explanation on other material science topics.

[@bea_hba]

Thank you so much! Such an informative good video

[@AnkitKumar-xs2vu]

Excellent explanation man!! Superb.

[@ryanb1874]

Very good video, single crystal systems, fascinating!!

[@josephparker3033]

Excellent...

[@bjmaguire6269]

Excellent video! Thank you so much for the amazing information. It provides a great place to start with my research. The harder gamma prime structures suspended in the more flexible basic gamma matrix brings to mind an inverse of basic plant stuctures or a sheer thickening fluid matrix of silica suspended in propylene glycol. Cool. Subscribed.

[@ianprado1488]

Fantastic video. Subscribed!

[@brianmoore1164]

Alloys are highly interesting to me. Thank you. I have occasionally machined nickle tin bronze, and it becomes obvious right away that it isn't a standard bronze. It is wildly stronger.

[@corkkyle]

Excellent.

[@poetac15]

Awesome video!

[@villacoya]

Excellent! Gracias.

[@darkwarrior_agentj3879]

Wowie!! The first time...I never felt sleepy 😢😭 the matter you shared was really amazing!! I already am working with nickel super alloy but took lot of time and reading with many videos to understand. But this video had I watched 8 months back I'd have saved two months ☹️ love the way you deliver the knowledge. Thank you very much sir! Appreciate the precision in the video editing too. Simple sweet and super! Not all super heroes save the earth, they save people by sharing knowledge the super way!! ❤️😬 If it's possible I have a request for a video.... waiting for your response!!

[@arianshahverdi9987]

excellent video,thanks a lot

Amazing explanation

[@aSpyIntheHaus]

This is an absolutely great video. Don't for a second think you're rambling. I look forward to checking out all your other vids.

[@tallulahdong]

a very good one!

[@mohammadumarfarooqkhan7430]

This is an awesome video for any science guy but also the presentation is very appropriate and explanation is lucid even for non-science person. Deep concepts are explained with ease. Great efforts 'The Mat Sci Guy', keep it up. We are waiting to make you famous.

[@mahmoudalsafty5202]

Nice man 👍👍 Keep going

[@sks404]

This is a great video. Helped prepare me few notes. Just one correction at 7.33. The preservation of gamma phase not the gamma prime phase that helps maintain the low temperature ductility, I think.

[@AS-lm1ci]

Great !!! I want more :)

[@BugSweden]

Great video! / from Sweden

[@angry.booster]

Please make videos on other topics, your videos are so much fun to watch

[@MrSms684]

As a meterials scientist, I enjoyed your video and learn alot of things. Thanks.

[@mangeram2731]

Great

[@TheShamanizer]

Holy cow! How do you not have hundreds of thousands of subscribers? I found this video whilst researching into INCONEL.

[@eriktempelman2097]

Next week (Dec 22nd) I will use several of your videos in an online workshop with my students. Of course you will get credit! And if you would like to drop by, well, you can.

[@joancanovas18]

Nice

[@marlondieguez3014]

thank you

[@dipakmaheshwari9540]

[@Onserio.]

That was cool

[@nakarinthanapongdacha6018]

Appreciate, thx u

[@abdulrafeyrao5060]

very neat explanation. I am going to suggest the channel to my fellow students. keep it up!

[@thematsciguy6254]

Thanks for the support! I have been slow making videos but there will definitely be more in the future :)

[@Dhirajkumar-ls1ws]

nice

[@brendanseabrook]

The graph at the end has the y axis as thousand barrels but is also stated in values in the thousands. The result is we are actually at ~5 million barrels per (not 5,000) day for the aviation industry which is about ~6% of global oil consumption. Really liked the video.

[@thematsciguy6254]

Thanks for catching the mistake! Unfortunately I can't add annotations to KZbin anymore so I added a poll title mentioning that the correct value is >5M per day.

[@metallurgyonline2807]

@@thematsciguy6254 sir why don't u make video on dbtt ,by explaining Titanic in funnyway.

[@karolix9054]

Great lecture. Have experience with making SX turbine blades

[@karadeniz1996]

Question:do have information of how to simulate this turbin blade in procast?

[@Shinito2]

neat!

[@ShivaKumar-hh1ko]

Graph at 12.18, in y-axis you mentioned thousand barrels and in numerical you showed in 1000's as well. while explaining you are explaining 5000 barrels may be you need to remove thousand in axis or in the numerical. just an info... but great work... thanks for the video...

[@Manojkumar926]

SuperVideo !!

[@cristianrey3320]

I loved this video, I am currrently making a college report about Inconel and this helped to understand the idea of the material, do you have like bibliography or something? I would like to get more information even after my report is done

[@thematsciguy6254]

Glad to hear it helped! The last few seconds of this video have a list of references that I used for some of the specific information and figures. Hopefully some of those will provide additional insights.

[@zymon9982]

please also add or explain bit about gamma double prime.

[@olemuell5979]

could you go into detail for Inconel718 or similar? because there are good and bad phases of the alloy... Laves phase, delta, and sigma are detrimental and need to get cured away. Whereas gamma, gamma' and gamma'' are the good guys. Especially for additive manufacturing!

[@kozlovskyi]

Yup. 146% amazing video.

[@metallurgyonline2807]

Sir ni has low sfe which means low plasticity . So it is desired to add ni for less plasticity.

[@user-fp6rf3wg6r]

Not a single dislike 30.072020 big up

Hey, I know KZbin paid you peanuts for this, so I thought I’d just say thank you. Thank you so much.

[@pete6891]

🤩

[@dBun3139]

I believe that Nickel not going through a phase change towards melting point is a reason for it's application in high temperatures, but what is the explanation for a material becoming weaker when going through a phase change?

[@achmadariaseta9152]

To the best of my knowledge, atomic diffusion is more difficult to take place in close-packed structure such as FCC

[@UserName-tb3jm]

Could someone please correct me, I was pretty sure that gamma prime is a whole intermetallic molecule of Ni3Al/Ni3Ti/Ni3Nb replacing a spot in FCC lattice, unlike it is shown in 3:40, just single atoms of Al/Ti replacement solid solution of Nickel matrix. Can someone enlighten me at this point, please? I mean Correct gamma prime visual e.g. Incorrect Ni-----Ni3Ti--Ni Ni--Ti--Ni | | | | | | Ni-----Ni------Ni3Al Al--Ni--Ti | | | | | | Ni3Al-Ni-----Ni3Ti Ni--Al---Ni

[@christopherleubner6633]

Too bad rhenium is so rare as it makes several superalloys. Technitium also is another one but its radioactive and made synthetically in a nuclear reactor. It's superpower is that it gives an extremely corrosion resistant surface to any iron based alloys because its beta emissions neutralize the OH ions that allow the oxidative attack.

[@adam1386]

im in lvoe with u

Super alloys and super heroes are pretty super. But they're not as super as you Mat Sci Guy
