In this study, effects of pre-oxidation on the hot corrosion behaviour of Al–Si coatings in a Na2SO4 and 25 w/% NaCl mixture at 900 °C were investigated. The results showed that after 120 h of corrosion, a large amount of β-NiAl residual was found with no obvious sulphides or oxidation in the pre-oxidised Al–Si coating. The pre-formed oxide film on the pre-oxidised coating prevented external O2– and species such as S2– and Cl– from the molten salts from directly contacting the coating and reduced the rate of TiO2 formation in the oxide layer, thus forming an Al2O3-based oxide film and reducing the growth rate of the oxide film on the coating surface. Cracking and peeling of the oxide film, caused by the internal stress owing to the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between the oxides in the oxide layer, are suppressed; thus, the hot corrosion resistance of the coating is significantly improved. .

To study the performance of bitumen mixture pavement sealants from their micro-mechanisms, the physical properties of base bitumen, SBS-modified bitumen and epoxy resin sealant as well as the adhesive properties of sealant-aggregate interfaces were studied using a molecular dynamics simulation. The adhesion of a sealant-pavement crack wall was studied using a contact angle test based on the surface energy theory. The results show that the epoxy resin sealant has excellent adhesion properties. Its physical properties and interfacial adhesion work are more significant than those of base bitumen and SBS-modified bitumen. An increase in the SBS can improve base bitumen’s mechanical properties and interfacial interaction. The interaction between three kinds of crack sealants and aggregate is identified as mainly the physical adsorption behavior. The van der Waals force plays a significant role in the adhesion behavior of bitumen crack sealant-aggregate interface. In contrast, the electrostatic force and van der Waals forces significantly affect the epoxy resin binder-aggregate interface. The adhesion work of 90# base bitumen, SBS-modified bitumen and epoxy resin binder for the asphalt pavement crack wall is (37.76, 44.86 and 77.63) mJ/m2, respectively.

In this work, a representative graphical method was used to estimate the potential barrier at grain boundaries in polycrystalline materials. The used equation for the determination of trapping density states is closely related to the doping concentration in the layer. The obtained results showed that this density is a crucial parameter for estimating the maximum barrier value. This parameter strongly depends on the grain size and, consequently, on the grain boundary width. The conduction (or transport) properties represented by the thermionic current and the effective mobility also prove this dependence. Also, the obtained results are in good agreement with the experientially measured values from previous works.

The necessity for a transition in the building industry towards sustainability has made bamboo-based construction more prevalent in recent decades. This paper demonstrates the development and performance evaluation of a newly developed cementitious composite slab panel containing nano-basalt powder (nBP) modified epoxy-coated bamboo as the reinforcement. The experimental research conducted on six slab panels ((600 × 450 × 50) mm), each having a different reinforcement type, demonstrated that the one with the nBP-modified epoxy-coated bamboo reinforcement showed significantly improved flexural performance by exhibiting better bonding characteristics. When compared to the uncoated bamboo-reinforced slab, the bond strength of the nBP-modified epoxy-coated bamboo-reinforced slab rose by about 32 %, to around 5.65 MPa. A flexural strength of about 73 MPa and a bond strength of about 6.26 MPa were attained due to the use of the nano-basalt powder modified epoxy-coated bamboo reinforcements with glass wrapping (nBGS). Comparing the nBGS slab to a slab of conventional cement concrete revealed an increase in the load-carrying capability of nearly 89 %.

This work studies the effect of carrier trapping and the recombination activity at the grain boundaries in the p-layer of polysilicon solar cells with respect to the deposition temperature. The dependence of the grain size on the deposition temperature was studied in different samples of boron-doped low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) silicon deposits, conducted in a horizontal low-pressure atmospheric pressure reactor where the temperature varied over a range from 520 °C to about 605 °C. The obtained results show clear evidence of dependence on effective changes in the trapping effect as a function of the trapping density states, the doping level and the thickness dimension of the deposited layer.

In recent years, the problem of the release of polymer microparticles (the so-called microplastics) from textile products has been extensively investigated. The main reason of the release of a large number of plastic microfibers is considered to be machine washing of synthetic clothing. However, approaches aimed at reducing the amounts of detached microfibers (MFs) differ significantly. This paper reviews the existing approaches, presents a method for processing polyamide fabrics with a chitosan solution, and describes the experiments that confirm the feasibility of the proposed method. The formation of a chitosan film on the surface of polyamide fibers was evidenced with the results of scanning electron microscopy. The authors have shown that fabric surface treatment with a 1 % chitosan solution reduces the amount of microfibers released during washing by 60 %. A fluorescent analysis demonstrated that mechanical processing of polyamide fabrics with a higher surface density is associated with a release of a smaller number of microfibers (358 ± 24) MF/g as compared to less dense fabrics (533 ± 16) MF/g. The results obtained in the present study can be used in the development of a standard method for quantifying the amount of synthetic microfibers shed from textile materials during their washing.

The research described here was aimed at illuminating the variation in the strengthening mechanism of Cr15Ni5 precipitation hardening stainless steel (15-5PH stainless steel) processed at aging temperatures ranging from 440–610 °C. The variation in the tensile property corresponding to different aging processes was measured, and the microstructure features were further characterized using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD). Results indicated that the strength contribution induced by grain-refinement strengthening, precipitation strengthening and dislocation strengthening corresponding to different aging temperatures varying from 470–610 °C were determined to be distributed in strength ranges of 296–345 MPa, 0–469 MPa and 97–803 MPa, respectively. The strength increments caused by different combinations of precipitation strengthening and dislocation strengthening were crucial for determining the final mechanical properties of the studied 15-5PH stainless steel.

A numerical analysis was performed to predict the effect of the convergent section geometry of a gun nozzle on the high-velocity air-fuel (HVAF) thermal spray Fe-based amorphous coating (AC) process. A computational fluid dynamics model was applied to investigate the gas-flow field and the behavior of in-flight particles at nozzle entrance convergent section length ranging from 28 mm to 56.8 mm and different shapes of the Laval nozzle convergent section (a straight line and Vitosinski convergence curve). On the one hand, the change in the gas-flame flow characteristics for the Vitosinski curve shows a uniform and stable flame compared with the straight-line curve in the convergent section. The straight-line curve shape of the Laval nozzle convergent section has a higher particle temperature compared with the Vitosinski-curve shape of the Laval nozzle convergent section. The particle dwell time for the straight-line curve shape of the Laval nozzle convergent section is longer than that for the Vitosinski curve shape of the Laval nozzle convergent section. On the other hand, the nozzle entrance convergent section length obviously affects the particle temperature, and the particle dwell time increases with the increasing nozzle entrance convergent section length. By analyzing both the melt status of the particles and particle velocity, the optimal gun configuration (0.7 V) producing low-porosity coatings was predicted. These calculations were experimentally verified by producing a low-porosity (1.37 %) Fe-based AC, fabricated with HVAF using the predicted optimal gun configuration.

In many cases, the use of copper is limited by the unsatisfactory properties of its surface layer, i.e., low hardness and wear resistance. Laser surface-layer treatment may be a better alternative to other techniques used in surface engineering intended for the elements, whose high conductivity, combined with high functional properties, is required. In the present work, laser alloying of pure copper with Ni powder is performed. Thermographic measurements during the process and measurements of the melt-pool dimensions after the alloying are performed. A 3-D model of a cylindrical specimen is developed. The enthalpy-based material model involving the phase change is applied. The nickel powder is taken into account with an appropriate value of the workpiece absorptance in the heat flux boundary condition imposed in the moving laser spot area. This study utilized the ANSYS-based Simulation software. Results of the temperature simulation show acceptable agreement with the experiment. The developed model can be used to predict the temperature distribution and identify the workpiece absorptance.

The surface of bronze undergoes changes when it is exposed to a polluted atmosphere, and bronze should therefore be protected from this natural deterioration. The most common protective coating currently in use is Incralac, which includes toxic components and is reported to dissolve a few months after application. This work therefore investigates a fluoropolymer-based coating (FA-MS), and compares it to the protection offered by Incralac. Bronze samples (non-patinated, sulphide-patinated or chloride-patinated) were exposed to simulated urban rain for four months. The corrosion products formed were characterised using SEM/EDS and Raman analyses. To study the protection efficiency of the newly developed fluoropolymer coating (FA-MS) and Incralac protection, various electrochemical methods were used: measurements of open circuit potential linear polarisation and potentiodynamic measurements. Findings show that the FA-MS coating provides a protection efficiency of 71 % for chloride-patinated bronze and 99.5 % for sulphide-patinated bronze. Contact angles of the FA-MS samples were higher than those of the unprotected samples or the samples protected by Incralac, indicating better hydrophobic properties of the FA-MS coating.
