The existing continuous caster layout curves cause plastic deformation of slabs during bending and straightening segments, while no effective deformation occurs in the basic arc segment, which tends to induce defects, such as cracks, and compromise s...

This paper presents three simple and efficient advanced optimization algorithms, namely the best–worst–random (BWR), best–mean–random (BMR), and best–mean–worst–random (BMWR) algorithms designed to address un...

This research proposes a non-penetration lap welding process for joining T2 copper power module terminals in high-frequency and high-power electronic applications, using a hybrid laser system combining a 445 nm blue diode laser and a 1080 nm fiber la...

Magnesium alloys have been recently recognized as promising materials for temporary orthopedic applications, thanks to their biocompatibility, nontoxicity and biodegradability, combined with bone-like mechanical properties; nevertheless, their clinic...

The influence of electrolytic temperature on the purity grade of electrolytic pure iron, variations in elemental content, macroscopic morphology, and microstructural characteristics was studied using electrodeposition experiments alongside glow disch...

This study was conducted to evaluate the high-temperature protection performance of new hard coating systems. Woka 7202 (Cr3C2-NiCr) and Diamalloy 2002 (WC-NiCrFeBSiC) powders were coated onto 316L stainless steel substrates using the atmospheric pla...

Decarbonizing the steel industry relies on a transition from carbon-intensive blast furnace technology to scrap-based secondary steelmaking using electric arc furnaces. This transition introduces tramp elements and leads to their gradual accumulation...

Ensuring the long-term integrity of structural materials in extreme environments is a critical challenge in the design of equipment for nuclear fuel cycle operations. In particular, the durability of materials exposed to high temperatures and chemica...

Tungsten is a critical raw material with increasingly important industrial applications. It is primarily found in minerals such as scheelite and wolframite (0.5% W), which are extracted and processed at the mine site to produce a high-grade scheelite...

In this study, various characterization techniques were utilized to investigate the effects of heat treatments on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-48Al-3Nb-1.5Ta (at. %) alloy prepared by the supreme-speed plasma rotating electrode...
