Two test schemes (heat treatment and deformation) were developed. According to the first scheme (SCA, solution treatment + cold rolling + aging), the material was treated at 480°C for 90 min, then quenched with water at room temperature, after which it was subjected to 10% cold rolling deformation and aged at 120°C for 24 h. The second scheme (SA, solution treatment + aging) involved treating the samples with a solution and aging at the same parameters as in the first group. The outcomes specified that compared to the solution-aging treated samples, the percentage of sub-grain in the cold rolling deformation treated samples increased from 33% to 66%. At the same time, the typical grain size reduced from 4.67 μm to 4.37 μm. The precipitate are more dispersed in the cold rolling deformation-treated samples. The dispersed deposits restrict the dislocation movement and promote the consistency of dislocation dispersal. Furthermore, the mechanical characteristics of the alloy are significantly boosted by the cold rolling deformation. Compared to the solution and aging procedure, the cold rolling deformation increases the tensile strength, yield strength, and sample elongation to new highs, from 655 MPa, 617 MPa, and 12.8% to 709 MPa, 683 MPa, and 13.2%, respectively.

However, the good glass formers in Al-based alloy systems are usually found away from the eutectic points in the phase diagram and thus exhibit poor glass-forming ability. Consequently, the glass-forming compositions require cooling rates of 10⁴–10⁶ K/s for synthesis via rapid quenching techniques, leading to dimensional restrictions in the micrometre to millimetre range. Synthesizing glassy powders and then consolidating them in the powder metallurgy (PM) route can improve the dimensions of these materials. Many researchers have made efforts to fabricate high-dimensional Al-based metallic glasses and composites with improved mechanical properties by using different PM routes.

Crystallization under hydrothermal conditions promotes the formation of hierarchical m-ZrO₂ nanorods. The properties of m-ZrO₂ powders produced by the reflux method and by hydrothermal synthesis in acidic and alkaline environments are compared. Hydrothermal homogeneous precipitation in the presence of urea is considered.

The advantages of this method include the production of high-purity monodisperse powders. Spherical or rounded particles, nanorods, interconnected nanorods, and nanosheets are synthesized using this approach. Hydrothermal synthesis in supercritical conditions utilizes the properties of water at its critical point (374°C and 22.1 MPa), which facilitates uniform nucleation of primary nanoparticles. The particle morphology and size distribution are found to be influenced by parameters such as reaction temperature, pressure, time, precursor concentration, and pH.

It has been shown that TMCN films can exist in two forms: as a solid solution with C and N atoms occupying the interstitial sites, and as a nanocomposite consisting of nanocrystalline TMCN phase embedded into an amorphous a-C or a-CN matrix. The first-principle calculations showed that the valence electron concentration (VEC), defined as the number of valence electrons per formula unit, is a significant indicator of the structural, thermodynamic and mechanical properties of TM carbonitrides. The overall results indicate a narrow region between VEC = 9 and 10, with TMCNs being ductile but demonstrating high hardness, mechanical, and thermal stability. As such, they are expected to exhibit the highest toughness. Experimental study confirmed the theoretical predictions and showed that the TMCN films/coatings exhibit rather high mechanical properties and low coefficients of friction, retain their structure upon annealing, and show high oxidation resistance.

The densification kinetics was analyzed within the continuum theory of bulk viscous flow of a porous body using computational modeling. In general, the sintering process is characterized by a decrease in the root-mean-square stress within the porous body matrix to the limiting zero value as it approaches the nonporous state and by an increase in the root-mean-square strain rate following a curve with a maximum. Prior to the onset of densification, when thermodynamic temperature reaches 783 K, a stage involving annealing of the strain-hardened matrix forming the porous titanium nitride is observed. In the temperature range of 950–1040 K, weak densification occurs, governed by plastic flow, with a linear dependence of the strain rate on stress and low apparent activation energy (35.1 kJ/mol). At higher temperatures, dislocation climb becomes the acting mechanism, characterized by a power-law dependence (n = 2) of the root-mean-square strain rate on the root-mean-square stress, with an activation energy of 280.8 kJ/mol.

Analysis of the friction tracks using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy revealed an intermediate layer between the friction surfaces, consisting of tribooxidation products from both the ceramic and steel components.
