As engineers and scientists, we tend to focus too heavily on the technological aspects. This natural proclivity leads to flawed projections about the future state of our profession. This paper explores these PEST forces in the context of mega-trends observed in manufacturing and MS&amp;E. The pillars of Industry 4.0 serve as the basis for advanced manufacturing.

Although adequate coating thickness was achieved for all different heat input conditions, an inhomogeneity in the coating morphology was witnessed because of discrepancies in the densities, thermal conductivities, and melting points between TiC and Co, and solidification mechanism of the coating constituents. The hardness of the TiC-Co composite coatings enhanced drastically as compared to the Ti64 alloy substrate. Accordingly, the wear resistance of the coating was improved than the substrate, when tested separately against H13 steel and alumina abrasive disk. Nevertheless, slight decline in the hardness and wear resistance properties was noted for increasing the heat input, which primarily occurred due to prominent melting of the TiC particles, and their dilution within the matrix phase. </p></div>","PeriodicalId":644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance","volume":"35 17","pages":"16610 - 16620"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147829803","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 three-dimensional (3D) morphological changes were analyzed by using LAMMPS simulation software. Wear count and displacement, friction change rule, and mechanism of the Fe-based micro-gear surface during dynamic measurement under different loads and measurement speeds were studied. The local dislocation during the dynamic measurement was predicted. The results show that the height of the worn atom accumulation and the count of worn atoms on both edges of the wear scar decrease with the increase in the measurement speed under the same load. However, the height of the atom accumulation ahead of the probe increases, resulting in increased friction and the decrease in the count of worn atoms ahead of the probe. At a fixed measurement speed, both the overall stacking height of worn atoms and their total count increase with increasing load, thereby increasing the coefficient of friction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance","volume":"35 14","pages":"13738 - 13745"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147682763","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}

Experiments showed that the optimal degradation effect was achieved when the photocatalyst content was 5%. Additionally, after four cycles of use, the degradation efficiency slightly decreased but remained stable. Basic performance tests of the coating indicated that its workability, film appearance, hardness, adhesion, water resistance, and alkali resistance all met standard requirements, demonstrating that the addition of the photocatalyst did not adversely affect the coating’s performance.

This is because of their lightweight which makes TiAl-based alloys favorable for aerospace engine application, but low ductility, and fracture toughness limit their structural applicability. Moreover, in material science and engineering research, it is essential to achieve adequate balance in terms of strength and ductility without sacrificing other important material properties. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the influence of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of TiAlSi-3.7Mo and TiAlSi-13.7 V alloys synthesized using laser in situ alloying. Heat treatment was performed at 1200 °C and 1400 °C for 60 minutes, followed by furnace cooling (FC). The microstructure and composition were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS); phases identification was carried out with the aid of an x-ray diffractometer (XRD) and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD). The Anton Paar nanoindentation tester was used to investigate the nanomechanical properties, while the Vickers hardness tester was used to determine the microhardness values. It was observed that dual-phased (DP) and fully lamellar (FL) microstructures were present at 1200 °C and 1400 °C, respectively, with varying amounts of <i>β</i>₀ and ζ-Ti₅Si₃ precipitating phases along the grain boundaries depending on the alloying element (Mo and V) present. The phase analysis reveals the presence of <i>γ</i>, <i>α</i>₂, <i>α</i>, <i>β</i>₀, and ζ-Ti₅Si₃ phases in the as-built alloys. The <i>β</i>₀-TiAl and ζ-Ti₅Si₃ phases exhibit solid precipitation hardening and solution strengthening at grain boundaries due to Mo and Si interactions. The alloy with V inclusion showed improved mechanical properties, particularly after heat treatment, by increasing the formation of <i>α</i>₂ + <i>γ</i> lamellae. This study demonstrated that V and Mo additions to Ti-Al-Si alloy sample showed improved mechanical properties after heat treatments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":644,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance","volume":"35 17","pages":"16934 - 16949"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11665-026-13295-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147829172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined the fabrication of hydrophobic surfaces utilizing laser surface texturing, a cost-effective, precise, and reliable technique to modify the self-cleaning properties of materials. Aluminum 6061 was selected as the substrate, and optimal laser parameters 18 W power, 100 mm/s scanning speed, and 40 kHz repetition rate were determined using the response surface method. Three patterns (square, circle, and triangle) with varying line spacings (50, 150, 250, and 350 µm) were fabricated, and all samples achieved contact angles exceeding 90°, confirming hydrophobic behavior. Surface roughness analysis revealed that contact angles increased with roughness, while EDX analysis demonstrated a correlation between increased carbon composition and enhanced hydrophobicity over time by confirming the aging process. Self-cleaning performance was evaluated by applying dust and dirt, with the number of water droplets required for cleaning while increasing line spacing.

Such conditions can precipitate untimely degradation and disrupt production schedules. Addressing this, our research employed electrochemical noise measurement techniques to perform a statistical examination of the morphological characteristics of noise peaks, alongside time and frequency domain analyses for 2205 duplex stainless steel (DSS), under an array of stress levels, ranging from 60 to 90%σ_s. Complementary scanning electron microscopy analysis was utilized to discern microscopic changes pre- and post-corrosion exposure. Findings have demonstrated pronounced localized corrosion at each measured stress level, with localized corrosion index values spanning from 0.4290 to 0.9993. The presence of chloride ions was found to penetrate the passive film, selectively targeting the ferrite phase for pitting. Furthermore, the confluence of mechanical stress and corrosive elements facilitated the nucleation of crack tips, with oxygen and chloride ions synergistically escalating crack propagation.

Its contribution to the promotion of sustainable development has become evident. In this study, the hinge arm parts of aircraft boarding gate were taken as the research object, and the cost and carbon emission of hinge arm parts under three different processes, namely traditional manufacturing (casting + machining), additive manufacturing (AM) and AM based on innovative design, were calculated. The results showed that the weight of the hinge arm parts formed by traditional manufacturing process was 9.2 kg. The weight of the parts fabricated by AM after innovative design was 6.4 kg, which was about 30.4% less than that by traditional manufacturing process. In addition, the cost of the parts fabricated by additive manufacturing was reduced by 24% compared to traditional processes. The carbon emissions involved about 1654.46 kg CO₂e, when the hinge arm was manufactured by the traditional manufacturing process (casting + machining). After innovative design, the carbon emission was further reduced to 867.44 kg CO₂e by AM, which was only 52% of traditional manufacturing process.
