Tungsten carbides are important materials for various application fields. Their unique combination of mechanical properties makes them a good choice for applications demanding high hardness and moderate fracture toughness, such as cutting tools, oil...
In hopper-based binder jetting 3D printing, a consistent powder dispensing rate from the hopper to the powder bed is essential for reliable printing. This study investigates the effects of adding a custom-built auto-stirrer to the hopper system on th...
With the increasing demands on energy efficiency and dynamic stability of modern combustion engines (e.g., TDI systems), conventional powder metallurgy materials are reaching their limits in terms of fatigue life and surface integrity. This scientifi...
This research investigates the relationship between mineralogical composition and compressive strength in alkali-activated cement–sand mortars incorporating palm oil fuel ash (POFA) as a partial replacement of Portland cement. POFA was introduc...
With growing performance demands, sectors such as aerospace and energy are driven to rapidly develop and optimize advanced materials. High-energy ball milling is a route to produce novel high-performance materials. However, the development of these a...
The solidification process is crucial for preparing high-performance superconductors and is strongly dependent on the characteristics of the starting powder, including particle size, morphology, and phase purity. This review concisely examines the st...
Nine elements found in 24 cumin samples from China, India, Syria and Turkey were measured by laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LA-TOF-MS) for the purpose of collecting data that could be used to d...
Wet stirred-media milling (WSMM) is among the most widely used techniques for producing high-drug-loaded stable nanosuspensions, owing to its ease of scale-up, good repeatability, operational versatility and broad applicability. However, WSMM is also...
In this work, the hydrogenation behavior of a near-equiatomic Ti-V-Zr-Nb-Mo-Hf-Ta-W refractory high-entropy alloy (R-HEA) exposed to pressurized hydrogen has been thoroughly investigated. Isothermal gas-phase hydrogen absorption experiments have been...
Nanoparticle powders of a Ce1−xRuxO2 mixed oxide (3.0% w/w), were synthesized to be used as catalytic supports, on which Pt and Ir nanoparticles were deposited as the active phase. The catalytic supports were prepared through a route involving...
An in-line process analytical technology that measures drag force exerted by wet mass in a high-shear granulator on a thin cylindrical probe enabled real-time identification of distinct stages in high-shear wet granulation of acetaminophen. The techn...
Caking and powder adhesion are widespread challenges in dry powder processes. The influence of process parameters such as humidity and temperature on the adhesion behavior of dry powders has been extensively studied in numerous studies. Besides that,...
