The dispersion of GNPs in the metal matrices, induced by SBME, can be adjusted to improve the mechanical and corrosion properties of the MMCs. Herein, high-energy ball milling is utilized to disperse 0.2 wt% of GNPs into zinc (Zn) powders using different SBMEs. Ball-milled powder mixtures (BMPMs) obtained at different SBMEs are cold-compacted at 500 MPa and sintered at 420 °C. The morphology of the BMPMs and the microstructure of the Zn–0.2GNP composites (Zn-based MMCs [ZMCs]) are evaluated utilizing X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Compression and electrochemical testing are performed on ZMCs to analyze the mechanical and corrosion properties. Results indicated that the GNPs are uniformly dispersed in the Zn powders at the optimal SBME of 32.82 kJ g⁻¹.

Multilayer coatings can also be used to add additional properties to a component and make it multifunctional. The fabrication and characterization of multilayers are therefore an important issue. Herein, both the fabrication and characterization of Ni/Cu and nanocrystalline/coarse-grained Ni (nc/cg-Ni) multilayers are presented. The production by means of electrodeposition also allows a variation of layer thicknesses from a few nanometers up to a few hundred micrometers and is easily scalable to industrial application. This article describes the single-bath deposition and analyzes the microstructure and composition of the homogeneously deposited Ni/Cu and nc/cg-Ni multilayers. A modulation of hardness in nc/cg-Ni varying from 4.9 to 6.1 GPa is achieved while the elastic modulus is nearly constant. In Ni/Cu multilayers, hardness varies from 6.4 to 6.1 GPa in the Ni- and Cu-rich layers, respectively. Additionally, the reduced Young's modulus ranges from 187.2 (Ni-rich) to 169.8 GPa (Cu-rich).

On intricate 3D sponge structures, conductive coatings created by physical vapor deposition invariably have a nonuniform thickness. The poor stability of the crack structure and the random width of the tunnel cracks formed on the nonuniform conductive coatings significantly limit the repeatability of the sensors. This research suggests a combination of physical vapor deposition and electroless deposition to prepare conductive coatings on sponges with a uniform thickness; this enhances the consistency of the tunnel crack widths that are later constructed. After a thin layer of conductive coating is deposited to the sponge surface using physical vapor deposition, the treated sponge undergoes electroless deposition to enhance the uniformity of the conductive coating, and cyclic compression is used to create the tunnel cracks. The sensor is more stable with the electroless deposition process than the untreated sponge sensor, and there is not much difference between the various sensor samples.

In the present work, synthesizing nanoscrystalline Fe₆₅Co₃₅ alloy by mechanical alloying is focused on, adding cyclohexane (C₆H₁₂) acting as a process control agent (PCA). PCAs are effective in favoring nanostructured alloys with uniform grain size. The production of this type of alloy is a promising approach to tune the magnetic hardness in Fe₆₅Co₃₅. Structural, thermal, morphological, and magnetic properties have been studied after milling for 10, 25, and 50 h with and without the PCA. In the structural analysis, it is shown that the cubic α-Fe(Co) phase is the predominant phase in all samples. The use of the PCA favors its nanocrystallinity; however, it slows Co diffusion into the Fe matrix. Thermal analysis detects an endothermic process between 525 and 575 °C in the samples milled with C₆H₁₂ only. This is associated with the transition of the residual Fe₃Co superlattice, to the stable α-Fe(Co).
