A portion of the spent powder is leached in a citric acid–H₂O₂ system to selectively recover high‑purity Li<ce:inf loc=\"post\">3</ce:inf>PO<ce:inf loc=\"post\">4</ce:inf>, which is then used as the self‑supplied lithium source for solid‑state sintering with the remaining powder, enabling precise lattice repair and lithium compensation. Under optimal conditions, the lithium leaching efficiency reaches 97.68%. XRD and XPS results confirm complete elimination of FePO<ce:inf loc=\"post\">4</ce:inf> impurities, restoration of lattice distortion and full reduction of Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺. The regenerated LFP exhibits significantly reduced polarization and charge‑transfer resistance, delivering discharge capacities of 167.23 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.2<ce:hsp sp=\"0.25\"></ce:hsp>C and 145.98 mAh g⁻¹ at 1<ce:hsp sp=\"0.25\"></ce:hsp>C, with 98.7% capacity retention after 100 cycles. This fully closed-loop process eliminates the need for external lithium salts, while being simple, eco‑friendly and cost‑effective, yielding a net profit of 24.01 CNY per kilogram of spent LFP, demonstrating strong industrial promise.","PeriodicalId":344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Alloys and Compounds","volume":"31 1","pages":"191501"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149123343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DD6 nickel-based single-crystal superalloy specimens with a film-cooling hole (FCH) and smooth round-bar (RB) geometries were subjected to TMF preloading followed by LCF testing at 980 °C. Residual LCF resistance was evaluated using normalized life fractions, and the damage-transfer process was investigated through fractography, longitudinal-section microscopy, γ/γ′ characterization, EBSD analysis, and microstructure-informed γ/γ′ two-phase cyclic-plasticity simulations. The results show that residual LCF life does not follow a linear life-fraction relationship. At a TMF pre-damage fraction of approximately 25%, the normalized residual LCF life fractions were approximately 0.260 for the FCH specimen and 0.070 for the RB specimen under their respective baseline-normalized conditions. In the FCH specimen, TMF-induced damage was mainly localized near the hole edge, and subsequent LCF failure involved further crack propagation and damage accumulation from this localized region. In contrast, the RB specimen developed a more spatially distributed damage field across the gauge section, resulting in multiple potential sites for crack initiation, interaction, and coalescence during subsequent LCF loading. When the TMF pre-damage fraction reached approximately 45% or higher, both specimen types exhibited very low residual LCF resistance as accumulated damage became sufficiently severe to dominate subsequent failure. These findings demonstrate that residual LCF resistance after TMF preloading is governed not only by the consumed TMF life fraction but also by the spatial localization and connectivity of TMF-induced microstructural damage.","PeriodicalId":344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Alloys and Compounds","volume":"297 1","pages":"191497"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149123345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Mg-based core alloys were first cast into cylindrical metallic molds with a diameter of 16 mm, after which molten Al7075 alloy was cast around the cores to produce bimetallic billets with an outer diameter of 34 mm. The resulting bimetals were subsequently hot-extruded at 350 °C with an extrusion ratio of 3:1 and a deformation rate of 0.3 mm/s. Microstructural characterization revealed the formation of metallurgical bonding between the Al7075 shell and Mg-alloy cores. At the same time, the type and distribution of interfacial phases varied depending on the chemical composition of the core alloy. Hardness measurements showed that the Al7075/ZA62 bimetal composite exhibited the highest hardness values across the Mg core, interface, and Al7075 shell regions. In particular, its interfacial hardness was approximately 18% higher than that of the Al7075/AZ91 composite. Mechanical testing further demonstrated that the Al7075/ZA62 composite exhibited the highest compressive strength and interfacial bonding strength. Corrosion studies performed in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution indicated that the Al7075/AS21 composite exhibited the best corrosion resistance. Wear test results revealed that the Al7075/ZA62 composite exhibited superior wear resistance compared with the other bimetal composites. The results demonstrate that the chemical composition of the Mg-based core alloy plays a critical role in determining the interfacial characteristics and, consequently, the mechanical, corrosion, and wear performance of Al7075/Mg bimetallic composites.","PeriodicalId":344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Alloys and Compounds","volume":"45 1","pages":"191480"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149123342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
