Microstructure observation shows that with increasing upset pressure, grain refining effect of plastic deformation overrides grain growth effect of heat input, leading to finer prior austenite grains on AISI 4140 side. Dendritic structure of IN713LC transformed into fine equiaxed grains. Weld joints fabricated using low upset pressure showed unbonded regions with curved shape profile. However, weld joints made using high upset pressure showed nearly straight-line joint profile and was found to be favourable for adequate plastic deformation and achieving better bonding. Improvement in mechanical properties of weld joint was observed with increasing upset pressure.","PeriodicalId":18232,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141924246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary cause is that the PAH formed a granule-particle bridge structure, which made the structure of hydration products denser, thus improving the early compressive strength.

It was interesting to notice that both the amount of retained austenite as well as its C concentration were decreasing with higher temperature making it more unstable which could be reflected from the decreasing trend in the value of true strain that indicates the point of instability. It was observed that the dislocation annihilation coefficient ( k2) was increased while the corresponding storage coefficient ( k1) did not change much with the increase in exposure temperature compared to the AR sample.","PeriodicalId":18232,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141922093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

N, P, S tri-doped graphene catalysts were prepared by simple and convenient hydrothermal and high-temperature treatment. The experimental results show that different phosphorus sources have a significant impact on the structure and performance of the prepared catalyst materials. The NSP-Gr-1 catalyst shows the high onset potential (1.035 V), half-wave potential (0.79 V) and limiting current density (−5.33 mA cm−2) for ORR. The power density of the zinc-air battery assembled with the NSP-Gr-1 catalyst achieves 163.1 mW cm−2 at 186.7 mA cm−2, which is much higher than the maximum power density of 140.0 mW cm−2 at 190 mA cm−2 for commercial Pt/C.
