To address the performance deficiencies in welded joints in 2507 duplex stainless-steel pipes under demanding service conditions such as deep-sea operation, this study investigates drawn 2507 duplex stainless-steel pipes. Vacuum-fusion welding couple...

The Planting Oysters to Strengthen the Foundation (POSF) method, as a construction technique for coastal stone structures in the Northern Song Dynasty of China (1059), has been preserved to this day. Exploring its long-term reinforcement mechanism ca...

In this study, B₄C nanoparticles were incorporated into AA2024, one of the aluminum alloys with superior mechanical and wear properties, with the aim of further enhancing its mechanical, tribological, and corrosion performance. The nanocomposites wer...

This paper investigates the feasibility of CaZr₄(PO₄)₆ as a novel thermal barrier coating for SiO_2f/SiO₂, serving as a radome at 1200 °C. Initially, CaZr₄(PO₄)₆ powder undergoes TG-DSC testing across a temperature range from room temperature to 1...

The 17th-century stucco altar dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel is an interesting, but very damaged, artwork located in the complex of St. Angel in the little town of Barbarano Romano in Central Italy. During the recent and quite necessary resto...

In order to improve the wear resistance of titanium alloy and apply it to the high-speed train brake disc, TiNbZrV_x (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) refractory medium-entropy alloy coatings were prepared on Ti-6Al-4V (TC4) substrate. The effect of V conte...

Understanding mechanisms of asphalt in the process of natural aging is crucial for predicting its long-term durability and optimizing performance under diverse environmental conditions. Despite its importance, the microstructural and micromechanical...

Cracking frequently occurs during the pressing process of flattened bamboo, significantly reducing yield rates. To address the lack of effective strategies for the mechanical reutilisation of cracked flattened bamboo, an epoxy resin-based treatment a...

Developing efficient heterojunction photocatalysts is essential to address the challenge of degrading persistent organic pollutants. In this study, a multi-scale characterization strategy was employed to investigate the implications of interfacial co...

This Special Issue, “Surface Engineering, Coatings, and Tribology”, was open for submissions from the entire community and incorporates a selection of studies presented at the VIII National Symposium and First Latin American Meeting on Su...
