Quenching and partitioning (QP) steel has attracted much focus due to the effect of phase transformation induced plasticity (TRIP). However, the TRIP behavior makes it difficult to accurately predict the strain and stress distribution as well as the...

A lightweight neural network fault diagnosis method based on Gramian angular field (GAF) feature map construction and efficient channel attention (ECA) optimization is presented herein to address the problem of the complex structure of traditional ne...

Continuous casting production is an important stage in smelting high-quality steel, and automatic casting control based on artificial intelligence is a key technology to improve the continuous casting process and the product quality. By controlling t...

The present study aims to explain how the incorporation of anatase TiO2 nanoparticles at three different concentrations, i.e., 1, 3, and 5 g/L, into the ceramic-like oxide plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coatings on pure titanium substrate can af...

This paper proposes a new silver nanoscale joining material, silver nanowire film, as an alternative joining approach for high-power and large-size chip packaging. The silver nanowire film was prepared by pressing filtration with silver nanowire that...

For industrial processes in which refractory metals are necessary, hafnium carbonitride exhibits excellent performance due to its high thermal conductivity and resistance to oxidation. In this study, hafnium carbonitride was deposited on Inconel 718...

SiC-particulate-reinforced aluminum matrix composites (SiCp/Al MMCs) are widely used in the aerospace field due to their high specific stiffness and strength, low thermal expansion coefficient, and good radiation resistance. In the process of applica...

The objective of the presented work was to develop a new forging process for a pinion shaft as a component of a wind turbine. A study of near-net-shape forming using Deform 3D software was performed to reduce operational cost, time, and material scra...

A digital-twin-model-based optimal control system is presented for the steel continuous casting process. The system is designed for the coordinated optimization and dynamic control of secondary cooling and final electromagnetic stirring (FEMS), and i...

This research investigates the tribological behavior of advanced open-cell porous AlSi10Mg-SiC composites fabricated using the novel replication method of NaCl space holders. These composite materials have potential applications in lightweight and hi...
