The tool with a pin length of 4.5 mm (plunge depth of 50% into the lower layer thickness) was used for the experiment. The stir zone consisted of fine, equiaxed grains due to dynamic recrystallisation. Variations in grain size, as well as changes in precipitate distribution, size, and morphology, were detected along the build direction. Hardness and tensile strength varied across layers, with the top slice having the greatest values of 104.2 HV and 268.4 MPa, respectively. Notably, the FSAM build demonstrated improved ductility with a maximum of 58.98%, mostly ascribed to fragmentation and partial loss of grain-boundary phases, as well as strong interfaces that delayed necking.","PeriodicalId":18232,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Technology","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85431650","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. Although the rotational movement of the tool sweeps the resolidified particles away, Rotary EDM resulted in a thinner and less uniform recast layer while still producing good surfaces.","PeriodicalId":18232,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Technology","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77148220","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}

Ag2O enhances visible-light absorption performance and decreases the band gap of the Ag2O-CAONCS. About 20 mL crystal violet (CV) dye (10 mgL–1) is totally degraded using 20 mg Ag2O-CAONCS under sunlight irradiation for 20 min. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the Ag2O-CAONCS towards CV under sunlight irradiation is ascribed to the reduction of the band gap, improvement in visible-light absorption and inhibitation role of carriers recombination by Ag2O.
