This article deals with the issue of electromagnetic radiation, specifically methods of eliminating radiation using protective coatings. Protective coatings were created from commercially available fabricated but also recycled metal powders and commo...

The aim of this study was to determine the influence of heat treatment parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the AlMn1Cu (EN AW-3003) aluminium alloy with a one-sided cladding layer of AlSi7.5 alloy (EN AW-4343). The investiga...

To improve chip removal efficiency and drilling performance in oxygen-free copper, a multi-objective optimization of gun drilling process parameters was conducted using a response surface methodology and a genetic algorithm. The Box–Behnken Des...

Cancer is still the world’s most prevalent cause of death, and the limited efficacy of current treatments highlights the requirement for new therapeutic approaches. In this study, neodymium (Nd)-doped cobalt ferrite (CoFe_2₋zNd_zO₄, z = 0;...

This article presents a study on symmetric cyclic torsion with the application of electric pulses and their effect on the formability of α-brass CuZn30 at room temperature. Preliminary tests were carried out using a conventional monotonic torsi...

This work employed laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technology to prepare pure tungsten (W) metal components and investigated their internal defects, microstructural characteristics and mechanical properties within the horizontal and vertical planes to...

This study aimed to develop dental resin composites containing ZnO/SiO₂ ceramic particles as an antimicrobial filler for producing provisional dental restorations using the lithography-based liquid crystal display (LCD) 3D printing technique. Three t...

The mismatch of the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between the reinforcement and the matrix leads to thermal residual stresses and defects upon cooling from the processing temperature to room temperature. The residual stresses and defects hav...

This article presents the wear characteristics of the working surface of WC-Co (Tungsten Carbide–Cobalt) tungsten carbide tools obtained using the innovative U-FAST (Upgraded Field-Assisted Sintering Technology) method for particleboard machini...

Alloying AlN with ScN provides a robust strategy for engineering its intrinsic bandgap, phonons and dielectric functions, and ScAlN alloys have demonstrated great promise in applications including the 5G mobile network, surface acoustic wave devices...
