A comparative study of the effect of synthesis conditions on the structure and magnetic properties of the terbium chromoborate TbCr<sub>3</sub>(BO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>4</sub> single crystals grown from bismuth molybdate and lithium tungstate solvents has been carried out.

Following this deduction, the chemical bond distributions of the GeAsSe glasses were calculated. Further, the cohesion energy and the mean bond energy were also calculated. The refractive index, glass transition temperature (T<sub>g</sub>), coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), thermo-optical coefficient (dn/dT) and Vickers hardness were all well modelled with mean coordination number (MCN). Refractive index transition was found around MCN = 2.6 for the compositions with variable Ge content and fixed As content. The slope of the increase in refractive index seems to have a transition at MCN = 2.4. These two transitions are correlated to the structural transitions of floppy to isostatically rigid and isostatically rigid to stress-rigid. Further, a series of molar refractivity and bond refractivity were computed by multiple linear regression. It will facilitate a quick evaluation of other GeAsSe glasses. Otherwise, higher T<sub>g</sub> corresponds to compositions closer to standard stoichiometric ratio when MCN remains constant. Negative dn/dT was observed in compositions with larger CTE and smaller MCN (MCN < 2.4).

Following careful validation with experimental results, dedicated simulations were conducted to assess the effects of Si-rich network, melt pool border and polycrystalline structures on the mechanical properties, with a particular focus on strength anisotropy and strain localization. The results show that the elongated Si-rich network plays a critical role in strength anisotropy, whereas the melt pool border and grain structure exhibit a negligible influence. Although the softer melt pool border promotes strain localization, its softening effect on global strength is found to be weakened due to deformation compatibility induced constraints, promoting an enhanced strength of this region. Additionally, it is demonstrated that appropriate grain orientation distribution perpendicular to the building direction can effectively reduce the strength anisotropy, without affecting the strain localization level.

The results show that HE-treated cp-Ti substrates promoted faster and thicker MAO coating formation, with superior adhesion and tribological properties compared to CG cp-Ti.

The study also analyzed the differences in oxidation resistance among the test steels using oxidation thermodynamics and kinetics, as well as investigated how the morphology and structure of the oxide film impact high-temperature oxidation resistance. The results indicated that the introduction of the N element facilitated the formation of a protective oxide layer within the test steel, which impeded further reactions between the internal metal elements and external oxygen. The uniformly formed SiO<sub>2</sub> oxide layer significantly enhances the adhesion of the oxide film to the substrate, effectively preventing the shedding of oxides. Additionally, N promotes the development of chromium (Cr)-rich bands, which play a crucial role in inhibiting the growth of surface oxides and reducing the overall thickness of the oxide film. Moreover, the presence of N leads to improved densification of the surface oxide layer. This dense structure is instrumental in restricting ion diffusion, thereby decreasing the weight gain rate associated with high-temperature oxidation in the tested steel. Specifically, when the nitrogen content reached 0.32%, the oxidized weight gain and weight gain rate were reduced by 76.6% and 76.9%, respectively, compared to the steel without N addition.
