Vegetation concrete is one of the most widely used substrates in ecological slope protection, but its practical application often limits the growth and nutrient uptake of plant roots due to consolidation problems, which affects the effectiveness of s...

TB18 is a newly developed high-strength metastable β-titanium alloy, commonly used in aerospace structural materials, which demands high mechanical performance. By altering the alloy’s microstructure, heat treatment can affect its mechanic...

This article describes an innovative thermal insulation barrier in the form of a sandwich panel manufactured using 3D FDM printing technology. The internal structure (core structure) of the barrier is based on the Kelvin foam model. This paper presen...

In order to improve the performance of cement mortar (Portland cement), it was enriched with triclosan, hypochlorous acid, silver nanoparticles and graphene oxide. Cement mortar is used, among other things, to fill the gaps between the tiles of build...

The composition of TBFS is complex. It is categorized into low (W(TiO2) < 5%), medium (5% < W(TiO2) < 20%), and high-titanium slag (W(TiO2) > 20%) based on Ti content. The titanium in the slag is underutilized, causing it to accumulate an...

The corrosion resistance of a Cr3C2-25(Ni20Cr) cermet coating applied to an Al7075 substrate (Cr3C2-25(Ni20Cr)/Al7075) was investigated. The coating was produced using a cold spraying (CS) method. The main aim of the research was to determine the eff...

Controlling microstructure and texture development is a key approach to improving the formability of magnesium alloys. In this study, the effects of the strain rate and initial texture on the texture evolution of magnesium alloys during high-temperat...
