Additive manufacturing of duplex (DSS) and super duplex stainless steel (SDSS) has been successfully demonstrated using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) in recent years. Owing to the high cooling rates, as-built LPBF-processed DSS and SDSS exhibit clos...

The Cu–Cr–Ni alloy is a key material for the manufacturing of connectors, which requires excellent resistance to stress relaxation. However, the inherent correlation among microstructure, texture, and properties is still unclear. In this...

Biodegradable metallic materials are gaining attention for medical applications in short-term implants (15–500 days) because of their good mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and generalized corrosion. Most medical applications involve imp...

Ni60Nb40 amorphous particles (APs) and amorphous thin films (ATFs) with various sizes were investigated by molecular dynamic simulations. It is revealed that sample size has effects on both Ni60Nb40 APs and ATFs composed of shell or surface and core...

This study aims to develop a flow rule for evaluating the relaxation and redistribution of residual stresses during the post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) of hydroelectric runners made from low-carbon martensitic stainless steel (13Cr-4Ni composition)....

This research examines the structural and magnetic properties of monodomain cobalt ferrite nanoparticles with the formula (Co1−xFex)A[Fe2−xCox]BO4. The particles were synthesized using various methods, including coprecipitation (with and...

To improve the strength of the metal while maintaining good plasticity, helical fibers are added to the metal matrix. How to form helical fiber and control its parameters in the preparation process are urgent problems to be solved in the study of hel...

The addition of alloying elements is a crucial factor in improving the mechanical properties of pure copper, particularly in terms of enhancing its yield strength and hardness. This study examines the influence of scandium additions (up to 0.27 wt.%)...

Fretting wear in the contact area between the aero-engine blade tenon and turbine disk mortise has an important influence on the performance of the aero-engine. In this paper, the tenon joint structure of the DZ125/FGH99 superalloy material is taken...

Laser beam welding (LBW) is a highly demanded process for premium-quality joints in aeronautic, energy, or industrial sectors, where flexibility and low-heat-affected zones are required. One of the main applications of LBW in the near future is expec...
