Sewing needle heating is a common problem in the sewing of technical and medical textiles. The hot needle causes burnt spots on fabric, the breakage of thread and weak seam strength. The most economical way of reducing needle heat is to use thread lu...

Voltage withstand tests on stator bars can cause destructive phenomena such as thermal breakdown and flashover discharge on the surface of the anti-corona layer. This study optimizes the anti-corona structure at a stator bar’s end to prevent su...

The stability of thermal barrier coating (TBC) materials during service is a prerequisite for the normal operation of aircraft engines. The high-temperature corrosion of CaO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2 (CMAS) is an important factor that affects...

In this work, an experimental investigation is conducted with the aim of optimizing the electrodeposition parameters for Ni-Al2O3 composite coatings using the Taguchi method. The presented research is structured into two complementary sections. The f...

This study aims to reduce pores, cracks, and other defects on the surface of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF)-fabricated 18Ni300 steel and improve its surface quality. Remelting was carried out on the surface with an argon arc as the heat source. Then,...

Metal anodes have attracted much interest in metal batteries because of their high theoretical capacity and outstanding electrochemical performance. However, practical applications of metal anodes are often limited by polarization effects, leading to...

This review paper presents a detailed analysis of the influence of high-velocity oxygen–fuel (HVOF) spraying parameters on the microstructure formation and performance characteristics of Cr3C2-NiCr coatings. Key HVOF parameters, including the s...

To address the challenges of poor image quality and low detection accuracy in low-light environments during coating workshop inspections, this paper proposes a low-light image enhancement method based on zero-reference depth curve estimation, termed...

In this work, we present results on the impact of electron beam surface modification on the phase composition, microstructure, chemical composition, and mechanical properties of Fe-Ni-Cr-Mo-W high-entropy alloy. During the experiments, the beam power...

High-entropy silicide (MeSi2) coating was prepared by the slurry method and silicon infiltration method using Mo, Cr, Ta, Nb, W, and Si elemental powders as raw materials. The coating consisted of four layers, including a porous MeSi2 layer, a (CrTa)...
