Due to their excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have the potential to be used as new engineering structures and functional materials. In this study, an FeCo1.5CrNi1.5Ti0.5HEA coating was prepared on t...

This study explores the development and performance of photocatalytic cementitious composites modified with nano-TiO2 to address urban air quality and sustainability challenges. Nine mortar series were prepared, incorporating binders with varying car...

Masked jet electrolytic machining has the advantages of high machining efficiency and good surface morphology, giving it important applications in fields such as bionic marine animal manufacturing. The factors affecting the electrolytic machining spe...

Recent advancements in additive manufacturing have sparked investments in hydroxyapatite (HAP) formation for tailored preparations. The objective of this study is twofold: to achieve a stable dispersion of HAP in the monomer reaction mixture; and to...

Despite the extensive use of 7xxx aluminum alloys in aerospace, intergranular corrosion is yet to be appropriately addressed. In this work, in situ rolling friction stir welding (IRFSW) was proposed to improve the corrosion resistance of joints via m...

The properties of thin polymer films are influenced by the size of the fillers, their morphology, the surface properties and their distribution/interaction in the polymer matrix. In this work, thin polymer composite films with MoO3 or SiO2 nano and m...

Heat treatment technology changes all the mechanical properties of metallic materials. The influence of induction hardening, nitriding and boronising on the change in the microhardness, impact toughness, microstructure and coefficient of friction of...

This study, based on our previous research, aims to quantitatively determine the enhanced protection of austenitic stainless steels against pitting corrosion in NaCl solution by self-assembled molecular (SAM) layers, in their original form and after...

Wood, a natural and renewable material, is extensively utilized in furniture, construction, and outdoor landscapes due to its sustainability and esthetic appeal. However, exposure to environmental elements, particularly sunlight, leads to photodegrad...

The wet electrostatic precipitator (WESP) is crucial for the ultra-purification of blast furnace gas in gas-fired generator units. To address issues like high water consumption, poor atomization leading to spark discharge, and uneven water mist distr...
