After annealing at 800 °C, granular µ phases are found inside the primary σ phase. The friction coefficients of the coatings (as-cladded, as-annealed at 700 °C and 800 °C) decrease dramatically compared with the substrate of H13 steel. Obvious spheroidising of the σ phase at 900 °C leads to a decrease of hardness and an increase of friction coefficient. Furthermore, the CoCrFeMoNi high-entropy coatings show better corrosion resistance than H13 steel in 3.5 wt-% NaCl solution.","PeriodicalId":18232,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Technology","volume":"4 1","pages":"2782 - 2791"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88979866","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}

Sn addition can retard the onset of natural aging (NA), while after long-term NA, the NA hardening is enhanced. Although Cu and Sn can promote the NA hardening, the Cu and Sn combination addition results in NA hardness lower than the individual Cu addition. Compared with Sn, Cu addition is more efficient in promoting the artificial aging hardening of these alloys. Both of the Sn and Cu atoms can incorporate in the interior of the β′′ phase and produce disordered structure. The results are expected to provide new insight for designing new aluminium alloys for automotive application.","PeriodicalId":18232,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"2756 - 2766"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89147017","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 microstructure and mechanical properties were analysed, and the results revealed that adding trace Si facilitates heterogeneous nucleation, contributing to the columnar-to-equiaxed transition of prior-β grains. The anisotropic percentages significantly decreased from 5.82% to 1.15% after trace Si addition. All the trace Si-added specimens exhibited dimples that are indicative of the ductile failure mode.

Various factors such as concentration of GO in microcrystalline cellulose/graphene oxide (MCC/GO-x) aerogel, pH solution, adsorbent dosage, initial concentration of MB and contacting time were optimised on the adsorption capacity. The outcomes displayed that the maximum adsorption capacity could get to 645 mg g−1.

For sub (near) solvus heat treatments, grain growth and γ′ dissolution occur simultaneously. Grain size following heat treatment is determined largely by the primary γ′ particle dispersion, via Zener-Smith pinning. Remarkably, grain growth occurs only as a result of precipitate dissolution. The resulting grain size is dictated by a combination of initial particle dispersion in the as-received material and heat treatment temperature. It is likely to hold so long as the initial grain size is close to the Zener-Smith limit and where the kinetics of grain growth and dissolution share similar rates.","PeriodicalId":18232,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Technology","volume":"27 1","pages":"2945 - 2949"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87044705","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}

Creating peaceful and environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional disposal techniques, like transforming plastic waste into cherished carbonaceous nanomaterials, is of utmost importance considering this threat. The current study carefully employed a cleaner upcycling technique to create carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs) for supercapacitors. Using solvothermal/hydrothermal synthetic techniques, the PE waste was transformed into CNMs used in energy storage supercapacitors application. With an energy density of 21.6 W h kg−1 and a current density of 0.25 A g−1, the electrochemical test showed a specific capacitance of 155.5 F g−1. Additionally, the materials demonstrated 98.5% capacitance retention after 9000 cycles at a constant current density of 1.0 A g−1.

Meanwhile, the PMMT can reduce the addition of grain refiner. The negative macrosegregation in the billet centre was reduced significantly. This can be attributed to the melt structure being changed by the energy of the pulsed magnetic field, which leads to the temperature of the melt variation and increased nucleation rate.

The effect of Zn in the A1050 strengthening and grain refinement becomes apparent with a relatively high content of Zn.
