The sample surface contamination induced during Surface Mechanical Attrition Treatment (SMAT) was studied after peening treatments carried out with 100C6 steel and ZrO2 zirconia shots at room temperature, 523 K, and 773 K. All constituting parts of the treatment device (sonotrode, chamber, shots) contributed to sample surface contamination. Increasing the SMAT temperature led to a higher surface contamination with bigger contaminant debris as well as sample surface oxidation. In particular, several ZrO2 shots were fragmented at 773 K due to a phase transformation embrittlement under warm condition.

In this study, Mn4Si7 thermoelectric thin films were deposited on Si(111) and SiO2/Si(111) substrates via magnetron sputtering, and their microstructural as well as electrical temperature-dependent properties were thoroughly investigated. The as-deposited films at room temperature exhibited an amorphous structure, which underwent a phase transition to a polycrystalline state upon annealing at 800 K. This annealing process resulted in a significant reduction of surface defects and the formation of a continuous film composed of nanocrystallites with dimensions in the range of 50–100 nm. The presence of the SiO2 dielectric layer on the substrate induced distinct variations in the film’s microstructure and density, which in turn affected its electrical resistivity and thermoelectric performance. The enhancement of thermoelectric properties observed during the amorphous-to-crystalline phase transition is attributed to the selective scattering mechanism of charge carriers at nanocluster boundaries. These findings provide a critical foundation for achieving high-performance Mn4Si7-based thermoelectric thin films and expand their potential applications in thermoelectric devices, paving the way for the development of next-generation energy conversion materials.

With the advances in clean technologies, the role of fuel cells and batteries is becoming increasingly vital. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells are known to be the best candidates for low-temperature and portable operations, such as hydrogen cars. The efficiency and longevity of these fuel cells can be feasible through detailed microstructural analysis. In this regard, advanced imaging techniques are being used to visualize the structure of the different layers of PEMFCs including the membrane, catalyst layer, and gas diffusion layer. This study’s focus and novelty is to compare the focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy and X-ray Computed Tomography scanning for the microstructural imaging of the GDL.

For the efficient diagnosis of diabetes via exhaled breath analysis, electrochemical acetone sensors based on mixed potential were fabricated using yttria-stabilized zirconia as the solid electrolyte and LaBaSn2O5+δ as the sensing electrode (SE) material. To optimize the sensing property, we varied the sintering temperature to modify the electrocatalytic activity of LaBaSn2O5+δ. Results show that LaBaSn2O5+δ SE sintered at 800 °C exhibited the highest response of −31 mV when exposed to 100 ppm acetone. The detection limit reached as low as 100 ppb, and a sensitivity of −17 mV/decade was achieved across the acetone concentration range of 2–100 ppm. Additionally, the sensor exhibited excellent selectivity, repeatability, and long-term stability. The excellent sensing performance indicates that the developed acetone sensor can be used for the noninvasive diagnosis of diabetes.

Metal matrix composites exhibit an obvious decrease in ductility and toughness as strength increases. Inspired by the heterostructure characteristics of biological materials, this study designs a coarse-grained/ultrafine-grained heterostructure. A copper foam/graphene‑copper (Gr-Cu) heterostructure composite is fabricated using a mixing and hot-pressing sintering process. During tensile deformation, the strain gradient introduced by the hetero-deformation between the coarse-grained copper foam and the ultrafine-grained Gr-Cu microregions enhances dislocation storage capacity. Additionally, the coarse-grained region mitigates stress concentration and blunts and deflects crack propagation. The tensile strength of the sintered heterostructure composite reaches 347.5 MPa, with an elongation of 7 %, representing a 54 % and 45 % improvement over the Gr-Cu composite, respectively, thus achieving a synergistic enhancement of strength and toughness.

The influence of austenitizing temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of medium carbon spring steel was systematically studied. Microstructural characterization showed that decreasing the austenitizing temperature from 900 °C to 860 °C effectively refined prior austenite grains from 8.8 μm to 5.3 μm, reduced martensite block thickness from 0.9 μm to 0.7 μm, and increased the fraction of high-angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) from 70 % to 76 %. Crystallographic variant analysis revealed increased boundary densities for V1&V2, V1&V3(V5), V1&V4, and V1&V6 pairs in the 860 °C sample with refined PAGS, along with elevated frequencies of V1&V3(V5) and V1&V6 pairs classified as HAGBs, consistent with the K-S orientation relationship. These results demonstrate that reducing the austenitizing temperature from 900 °C to 860 °C significantly affects martensite block size, HAGB fraction, and crystallographic variant pairs, leading to enchanced yield strength from 1563 MPa to 1648 MPa and total elongation from 9.3 % to 9.7 %.

The precipitation behavior of an Al–6.8 %Si–0.38 %Mg cast alloy subjected to T5 heat treatment was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). At the peak aging condition of 200 °C, granular and rod-shaped precipitates were observed at the center of the dendrite. Rod-shaped precipitates were successfully extracted after aging at 250 °C for 3.6 ks. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed that the extracted precipitates had a Mg:Al:Si atomic ratio of approximately 1:4:5, consistent with previously reported Type-A precipitates. Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) analysis further confirmed their hexagonal crystal structure, with lattice parameters a = 0.405 nm and c = 0.67 nm. These findings indicate that Type-A precipitates, which are typically observed in excess-Si Al–Mg–Si alloys, also form in T5-treated Al–Si–Mg cast alloys.
采用透射电镜（TEM）研究了al - 6.8% si - 0.38% Mg合金经T5热处理后的析出行为。在200℃的峰值时效条件下，枝晶中心出现粒状和棒状析出物。在250°C时效3.6 ks后，成功地提取了棒状沉淀。能量色散x射线光谱（EDS）证实，提取的析出物Mg:Al:Si原子比约为1:4:5，与先前报道的a型析出物一致。选择区域电子衍射（SAED）分析进一步证实了它们的六方晶体结构，晶格参数a = 0.405 nm, c = 0.67 nm。这些发现表明，在t5处理的Al-Si-Mg铸造合金中也会形成a型析出相，这种析出相通常在过量si Al-Mg-Si合金中观察到。

This present study investigates the measurement of the hydrogen concentration and gradient on the surface of hydrogen charged samples using Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectroscopy (GDOES). Hydrogen measurement from GDOES suffers from atmospheric contaminations at the beginning of each measurement and hydrogen desorption on the surface also reduces the credibility of measurement. Another shortcoming is there is no calibration sample for GDOES with a known amount of hydrogen. We addressed these challenges by coating the sample with a reproducible and reliable Ni layer right after hydrogen charging. Results demonstrate a strong correlation between hydrogen intensity measured by GDOES on the deposited Ni layer and hydrogen amounts measured by thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS) analysis. This correlation is a groundbreaking step toward developing calibration samples for hydrogen measurement. In this work, the hydrogen measurement validation of GDOES using TDS by examining hydrogen on hydrogen charged samples is presented.

The effects of minor surface-active alloy elements Sb and Sn on hot-stamped steel grain boundary oxidation at different coiling temperatures were studied through tube sealing and soaking. The experimental results show that with the increase of coiling temperature, the grain boundary oxidation of experimental steel gradually deepens. Minor surface-active elements such as Sb and Sn in the steel can restrain the grain boundary oxidation of hot-stamped steel during hot-rolled coiling since these elements will diffuse to the grain boundary and occupy the path of oxygen diffusion inward. Furthermore, the effect of Sn on restraining the grain boundary oxidation is more obvious than that of Sb and the reason is also analyzed.
