Accurate optimal design for the test plan with limited prior information is impossible since the optimal design method of a three-stress accelerated degradation test plan for a motorized spindle is based on the determination of model parameters. In o...

Cu/Al clad plates prepared using a corrugated + flat rolling (CFR) technique were annealed at 300–450 °C for 10–240 min. Furthermore, the interfacial diffusion behavior and the bonding properties of the Cu/Al clad plates were studied...

Additive manufacturing of metallic materials generates strong crystallographic textures, leading to anisotropic elastic properties on the macroscopic scale. The impact of the processing parameters on the resulting texture requires suitable techniques...

The application of Ce oxides in oxide metallurgy has received extensive attention, but until now, the direct adding of CeO2 into molten steel to generate Ce oxides has not occurred. In this paper, a mixture of CeO2 and Si nanoparticles were added int...

In this study, five bobbin tools with different shoulder fillet radii were employed for the bobbin tool friction stir welding (BT-FSW) of A1050-O sheets to systematically evaluate the effects of shoulder fillet radius on the welding defect formation,...

This study contributes to a possible methodology for manufacturing CubeSats using additive manufacturing and laser beam welding. Titanium connectors were constructed by selective laser melting and electron beam melting and characterized from a topolo...

Using magnetic stirring during solidification provides a good opportunity to control the microstructure of alloys, thus controlling their physical properties. However, magnetic stirring is often accompanied by a change in local concentrations, and ne...

Titanium carbides attract attention from both academic and industry fields because of their intriguing mechanical properties and proven potential as appealing candidates in the variety of fields such as nanomechanics, nanoelectronics, energy storage...

During the material preparation process, the magnetic field can act with high intensity energy on the material without contact and affect its microstructure and properties. This non-contact processing method, which can change the microstructure and p...

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are a new class of materials consisting of at least five elements in equiatomic or near-equiatomic ratio. HEAs are subjected to various types of surface treatment to improve their properties. One of the most promising metho...
