The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with nanomaterials is rapidly transforming metal three-dimensional (3D) printing for biomedical applications due to their unprecedented precision, customization, and functionality. This article discusse...

Cyanide-containing effluents from hydrometallurgical gold extraction pose significant environmental risks due to their high toxicity. This study investigates the detoxification of cyanide-laden tailings from the Altyntau Kokshetau gold extraction fac...

Biodegradable zinc-based alloys have recently emerged as promising candidates for temporary biomedical implants due to their favorable biocompatibility, appropriate degradation rate, and relatively simple processing. In this study, the Zn-0.1Mg alloy...

Metallic glass, as an emerging catalytic material, possesses an atomic structure characterized by long-range disorder and short-range order, which creates abundant and accessible active sites that enhance the adsorption and reactivity toward pollutan...

This study explores a novel approach to enhance the surface properties of Ti-Al alloys for biomedical applications by creating a compositional gradient layer through aluminum deposition using Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM). The primary goal was...

14CrMoR steel, possessing excellent low-temperature impact toughness and corrosion resistance, is an important material for core equipment in the coal chemical industry. In this paper, 14CrMoR steel was subjected to single-pass compression tests at d...

The effects of different deformation processing routes (rolling and rotary forging) and temperature conditions on the microstructure and mechanical properties of W-1%La2O3 alloy wire were investigated. The results indicate that with increasing cumula...

Microstructure design is a main issue when targeting a target material’s properties [...]

Near-complete (>99%) dissolution of lithium and cobalt was achieved by the leaching of black mass from spent (end-of-life) lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) using 4 M H2SO4 or HCl at 60 °C. Raising the temperature to 90 °C did not increase the...

This study focuses on the susceptibility and surface degradation of low-alloy carbon steel 42CrMo4 to corrosion and cavitation erosion, as this steel is widely used in marine environments with aggressive chemical species and harsh conditions. Due to...
