The successful incorporation of Cr/Mn elements into the ZnO lattice is reflected in the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV-vis. absorbance spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy measurements. Further, the photoluminescence intensity of ZnO nanoparticles changed upon Cr/Mn-doping due to the changed defect structure of nanoparticles. Furthermore, both pristine and Cr/Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles revealed the ferromagnetic behaviour, wherein the doping of Cr/Mn enhanced the ferromagnetic characteristics. Overall, our results divulged that doping ZnO nanoparticles with appropriate combination of transition elements would leads to unearth fascinating optical and magnetic properties.","PeriodicalId":18232,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Technology","volume":"118 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78165943","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 initial microstructure was selected as ferrite and pearlite in different fractions, with the aim of studying low, medium, and high carbon steels. A modification of an existing model is proposed, whereby the cementite dissolution is incorporated to better reflect the microstructure evolution during the rapid thermal cycle. It is found that the predictions under the new paradigm show fair agreement with the experimental data. The new model indicates that the correct estimation of the composition of austenite near the transition zone produces a more accurate prediction of the hardness profile, reducing the overestimation obtained in previous works.KEYWORDS: Laser heat treatmentFast heatingAusteniteMartensiteModelling Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":18232,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Technology","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135903297","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}

Surface flaws such as micro cracks, un melted spherical particles, pores, a recast layer and craters following EDM can be attributed to the high hardness and poor toughness of the MoSi2-SiC. Die sinking EDM and rotary EDM, as shown by a comparison of recast layer thicknesses, produce the most uniformly thin white layers, at 92 and 30 µm respectively. The study found that the area fraction yield for porosity ranged from 8.18% to 12.922% when using rotary EDM, but only from 2.33% to 8.10% when using die-sinking EDM. According to the EDAX, the spongy exterior of a composite is the result of a lot of gas being produced.
