Results indicate that the Shape Memory Effect (SME) is higher in Copper Aluminium Manganese (CAM 3) compared to CAM 1 and CAM 2, with SME improving from 3.5% to 5.5% as Manganese (Mn) content increases, reflecting an increase in dislocations within the metal’s crystal structure. Surface roughness increases with higher feed rates and depths of cut but decreases with increased cutting speed. MRR shows a positive correlation with feed rate, depth of cut, and cutting speed, though it decreases with higher Mn content. Notably, CAM 3 exhibits lower MRR compared to CAM 1 and CAM 2. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) reveals that at lower feed rates (0.10 mm rev−1), the surface is smooth and free of ridges or feed marks, while at higher feed rates (0.18 mm rev−1), noticeable surface imperfections and plastic deformation occur. The addition of Mn improves surface smoothness and machinability, it also affects MRR.

Given the limited existing research on machining Waspaloy with composite tools, this study aims to address this gap by employing a copper-graphite composite tool. In this work, pure copper electrode and three composite electrodes with varying graphite percentages in copper, viz. copper containing 5%, 10%, and 15% graphite (CuGr-5, CuGr-10, and CuGr-15), are utilized for experimentation. Composite electrodes are fabricated by the stir-casting process. The scanning electron microscope reveals that the graphite specks are homogeneously disseminated over the matrix material. The Taguchi mixed orthogonal array was used for developing experimental runs. By varying the current, polarity, pulse on and off times, tool materials, and gap, machining performance was measured in terms of Material Removal Rate (MRR), Tool Wear Rate (TWR), and Surface Roughness (Ra). It was observed that CuGr-5 provides an enhancement in MRR due to the improved electric conductivity, bridging effect, and increased energy concentration at the spark gap. Diverse characteristics witnessed on the surface morphology include black dots, globules, remelted layers, micro-cracks, and scratches. When machined with a CuGr5 electrode, the surface quality improved owing to the completed flushing and uniform distribution of generated heat as confirmed through worn surface morphology. The parameters were optimized utilizing the PROMETHEE optimization technique; it was found that the CuGr-5 electrode with the assessment value 0.02458 was optimal for machining of Waspaloy.","PeriodicalId":18530,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Express","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142181171","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}

However, it’s difficult to degrade these polypropylene plastics and suitable methods for recycling and reuse is urgent. This research proposes an efficient method for the reuse of polypropylene cigarette filters by mixing waste polypropylene filters with nickel source in different proportions, followed by a facile calcination treatment to prepare nickel-modified carbon-based composite materials with microwave absorption properties. Morphology and magnetic properties of as-prepared samples were analyzed via XRD, SEM, and VSM, exhibiting an increase in carbon content with raising nickel content. Nickel ion anchored on polypropylene fiber may facilitate better fixation of carbon chains during the polypropylene decomposition process. Among the as-prepared samples, CN2 exhibited superior microwave absorption performance, with an optimal absorption peak of −26.76 dB at 7.97 GHz when matched with a given thickness of 4.3 mm, and an effective absorption bandwidth of 3.64 GHz (8.04 GHz to 11.68 GHz) with a matching thickness of 3.5 mm, covering the X band. Therefore, the as-prepared microwave absorbers provides a feasible solution for the recycling and reuse of polypropylene filters, aligning with the tobacco industry requirements for sustainable development.","PeriodicalId":18530,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Express","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142227540","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}

Laser cladding, a technique for surface coating, enhances surface quality and modifies properties using advanced coating technologies. In current trends, Laser cladding is mainly used in equipment and machine parts for enhancing surface properties, repairing damaged parts and surface coating caused by its advantages such as small heat-affected zone, low substrate damage, low dilution rate and exceptional metallurgical material bonding among coating and used substrate. Laser cladding improves substrates’ mechanical and various functional-specific properties, ensuring a high-quality balance between mechanical and surface attributes. The research society was able to investigate laser-cladding HEAs coatings because of the superior attributes of HEAs compared to ordinary alloys. This paper reviews current developments in laser-cladding HEAs coatings and the application of laser-cladding technology to HEAs materials. The laser cladding high-entropy alloy coatings have potential applications in corrosion, wear, and oxidation resistance, as well as their respective substrates. Cladded coatings composed of HEAs materials are measured to have shown potential applications in recent technology, opening exciting possibilities for the future.

In molecular crystals there is both a lattice that defines crystal orientation and a relative orientation of the basis of the molecules. We define a normalization parameter which relates strain at yield, the hardness of the bulk crystal, and a distance parameter analogous to a Burgers vector that nominally predicts the relative ease of initiating plasticity in this broad class of materials. Analyzing the yield behavior of 10 different molecular crystals of varying space groups shows the inter-molecular orientation predicts the experimentally observed applied stress needed to nucleate dislocations. When molecules are oriented ‘parallel’ relative to one another the normalized maximum shear stress at the onset of plasticity is on the order of 3–5 times lower than when molecules within the crystal are ‘anti-parallel’, and molecules with a more equiaxed shape fall in between these bounds. This provides an initial indication of a structural feature which predicts the relative ease of initiating plasticity during contact loading in molecular crystals.","PeriodicalId":18530,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Express","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142181172","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}

This study investigates the erosive wear behavior of Poly-Lactic Acid (PLA) fabricated with varying infill microtextures—zigzag, concentric, and grid—under diverse pH conditions (2.73, 7.75, and 10.15) using garnet particles as the erodent. The results demonstrate that optimal operational conditions for PLA are achieved with a grid microtexture, a pH of 7.75, and a 325 μm erodent size. Conversely, the most severe wear occurs under a pH of 10.15, a 600 μm erodent size, and a zigzag microtexture. The grid microtexture is the most effective in minimizing erosion, while the zigzag pattern shows a 16.68% increase in wear when compared to the grid microtexture. Additionally, a shift from a slightly basic to a highly acidic environment increases wear by 1%, whereas a transition to a highly basic environment leads to a 32.6% increase in erosion within the grid microtexture.

Response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) models, such as RNN, LSTM, and CNN, were used to optimize. Twenty runs of confirmation experiments were used to confirm the optimal process parameters found by the created models for better machining.
