The most important cutting materials for machining are carbides. Their production requires both tungsten and cobalt; however, these materials are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain and are sometimes mined under ethically questionable condition...

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the extent to which a combination of pre-deformation and aging procedures could enhance the corrosion and wear resistance of the Ti-15Mo alloy for biomedical materials. The initial grains were refine...

In this study, we prepared sodium alginate (SA) and montmorillonite (MMT) composite films for application in coatings for strawberry preservation. SA and MMT were used as the matrix and glycerol was used as a plasticizer. Six types of composite films...

Hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) composite coatings added in the second phase could improve the mechanical properties and bonding strength. The cold spraying technique, as a technology for the deposition of solid particles at low temperatures, is...

During the process of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) exploitation, various sulfide-containing gases are produced, which significantly bring about corrosion attacks to copper equipment and facilities. Investigations on the effects of sulfides, hydrogen...

As modern civilization’s energy demands continue to rise, the need for efficient renewable energy solutions becomes increasingly critical. In addressing this challenge, our research explores the potential of newly developed iron (Fe)-doped moly...

In this experiment, C3N5 was synthesized by pyrolysis of 3-amino-1,2,4 triazole material, and then 1% Co-C3N5, 3% Co-C3N5, 5% Co-C3N5, 7% Co-C3N5, and 9% Co-C3N5 were synthesized by varying the mass ratio of cobalt chloride to C3N5 by stirring and ul...

Traditional and modern coatings play a key role in enhancing the fire resistance of ancient Chinese buildings. However, further comparative analysis is needed on the fire properties of the two coatings and their effects on different timber structural...

Babbitt alloy is a bearing material with excellent properties, including good anti-friction wear resistance, embeddedness, corrosion, and compliance, as well as sufficient bearing capacity. However, with the development of engines to have high speed...

Central composite design (CCD) is a statistical experimental design technique that utilizes a combination of factorial and axial points to study the effects of multiple variables on a response. This study focused on optimizing hydrogel formulations f...
