The current study aims to examine the impact of nitrogen content and film thickness on the structural and tribo-mechanical characteristics of reactive sputtered MoN thin films. Molybdenum nitride thin films with thicknesses ranging from 0.2 to 1.25 m have been applied to steel and silicon substrates for this purpose, with various amounts of controlled atmosphere (Ar+N2). Then, the films are characterized using XRD (X-ray diffraction), EDX (energy dispersive X-ray analysis), SEM (scanning electron microscopy), FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy), and nanoindentation. The residual stress was measured using Stoney formula. Results show that high compressive residual stress of -5.7 GPa is present in the film with 0.3 μm thick film and gradually decreased with increasing film thickness. Above 1 µm of film thickness, there is no change in the density of the MoN films. Also, the coating hardness and Young’s modulus vary between 9.5 and 35 GPa, 266 and 320 GPa, respectively, depending on nitrogen content and film thickness. Finally, the frictional behavior of the MoN thin films is estimated at around 0.55, confirming the gradual oxide elimination.

Mechanical stir casting is utilized to produce an artificially aged Al-Si-Mg alloy, whereas halide slat (K2TiF6 and KBF4) synthesis is utilized to produce Al-Si-Mg/TiB2 aluminum matrix composites. The dry sliding pin on disc wear test was conducted using a DUCOM/TR-20LE-PHM-200 machine to simulate an automobile application (Piston-Ring assembly). Where pistons are made of aluminum alloy (for the Pin) and rings are made of grey cast iron (for the disc material). At room temperature, a wear test was conducted by altering the ageing time (3, 6, 9, 12), sliding speed (2, 2.5 m/s), and applied load (14.71, 19.62, 24.52 N) with the disc speed (500 rpm) held constant (10 min). The results indicate that the aluminum matrix composite (AMC) wear rate is reduced by 37 percent at higher sliding speeds (2.5 m/s) and by 4 percent at lower sliding speeds (2.0 m/s) compared to the base alloy. Field emission scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectroscopy (FESEM-EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis revealed that the formation of the mechanically mixed layer (MML) or oxidative layers on the worn surfaces reduces the wear rate under conditions of longer ageing time, higher sliding speed, and lower applied load. The research demonstrates that composite wear is a function of sliding velocity, aging period, and applied force. As sliding speed rose from 2 m/s to 2.5 m/s, the wear rate of composites dropped reasonably, yet composites are softer than basic alloys. It is conceivable due to the presence of a considerable amount of MML and the formation of oxidative layers between pins and their equivalents.

A simple solvent extraction method was developed to extract copper (II) from sulfate solution. The extraction of copper (II) with furfuryl thioalcohol was investigated. The effect of variables such as aqueous phase pH, furfuryl thioalcohol concentration, temperature, stripping reagents, and diluents was investigated. The extraction data revealed that using 15% (v/v) furfuryl thioalcohol with aqueous solution containing 0.5 mol L-1 Na2SO4, equilibrium pH 5.5, and phase ratio organic phase: aqueous phase (O:A) of 1:1 resulted in 98.20 percent extraction of copper (II) without nickel coextraction (II). Extraction isotherm results show that the extraction procedure is endothermic, with ΔH = 28.542 kJ mol-1 and ΔS = 41.740 J K-1 mol-1. Using 2.0 M H2SO4, copper loaded in organic phase was stripped at a rate greater than 99 percent.

The majority of refractories used today are associated with the iron and steel industries. Typically, the refractory lining of a blast furnace consists of a combination of different refractory materials chosen for different portions of the furnace, as well as distinct process conditions and temperature ranges. Knowledge and requirements for the iron manufacturing system in conjunction with the physical, mechanical, and chemical qualities of the proposed refractories determine the choice of refractory combination. Inadequate understanding of the aforementioned components frequently results in refractory failure, which then becomes a difficult problem to tackle. A blast furnace's refractory liner typically fails owing to any number or combination of these variables. To facilitate comprehension, we will explain the types of refractory lining required in a blast furnace by region, as well as the observed trend in refractory lining patterns over the past few decades.

In this study, the effects of cold-rolling and annealing on the structural, electrochemical, and mechanical properties of AA5083 in a simulated seawater environment are investigated. The results demonstrated that annealing temperature significantly affects the alloy's mechanical and corrosion properties. According to potentiodynamic results, the rate of corrosion decreased after annealing. Compared to the cold-rolled sample, the heat treatment doubles the electrochemical impedance, indicating that the corrosion resistance of AA5083 alloy is suitable at 50°C annealing. Approximately twice as much ductility was added to the materials as compared to the as-received materials. Additionally, the mechanical testing revealed the Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) Effect Type B band, which reflected the smaller grain size.

Aluminum and magnesium alloys are lightweight materials with outstanding technical uses. Due to their combined qualities, composites built of aluminum and magnesium alloys have surpassed the utilization of these elements individually. Accumulative Roll Bonding was used to create a three-layered sandwich composite structure made of Al-alloy/Mg-alloy/Al-alloy. The composite structure's microstructure and mechanical characteristics were studied. A fine-grained AZ31 layer was formed, according to the microstructural study. At the Al-alloy/Mg-alloy contact, a diffusion layer was also seen. On the broken surface, fractography exhibited both ductile and brittle failure characteristics.

This study uses direct quenching (DQ) heat treatment at an intercritical annealing temperature (IAT) of 800 °C to form a martensite-ferrite dual phase microstructure of X70 steel. The effects of tempering temperatures ranging from 200 to 500 °C on tensile properties in a dual-phase X70 steel are investigated. Carbon diffusion and redistribution in the microstructure are influenced by tempering. It was discovered that the amount of carbides increases with the tempered temperature, resulting in depleted carbon in martensite. Conversely, increasing the tempered temperature causes a decrease in ultimate tensile strength and yield strength while increasing elongation.

The effect of artificial aging treatment on 2017A aluminum alloy microstructure, mechanical properties, and fracture behavior was investigated. The samples were taken from the as-received alloy and aged at 170 °C for 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 hours. An optical microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), microhardness and tensile strength tests were used to characterize mechanical and microstructural properties. The microstructural analysis revealed that as the aging treatment duration is increased, the size and density of precipitates grow larger and more numerous. According to X-ray diffraction measurements, the microstructural evolution caused by aging treatments is primarily due to an increase in precipitation of the hardening phase -Al2Cu. According to the tensile test results, the yield stress increases with increasing aging duration. The fracture surface analysis of failed specimens subjected to tensile loading revealed that the aging treatment conditions had a significant impact on the morphology and mode of fracture: the mixed-mode (ductile-brittle) failure was established for intermediate aging durations (aging at 170 °C for 15 and 20 h), and the intergranular fracture was found to be more pronounced when the aging duration is prolonged due to the coalescence of fine precipitates at the grain boundary.

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is one of the non-traditional machining processes commonly used for machining of hard to cut metals. Monel 400 is a nickel based superalloy used in various applications. The composite electrode is developed and applied to enhance the machining process by reducing the time of the process and the cost of the electrode manufacturing. The presented work is aimed to study the effect of copper, graphite, and copper-graphite composite electrodes with different parameters on the Material Removal Rate and Surface Roughness of Monel 400. Influences of discharge current (Ip), pulse on time (Ton), and pulse off time (Toff) have been investigated. Based on the Taguchi method, experiments were analyzed using ANOVA through Minitab 20. The results have manifested that compared to copper and graphite electrodes, the copper-graphite electrode achieved better values of material removal rate and surface roughness. The lowest value of surface roughness is 3.1413 μm as a result of the added graphite reinforcement particles.

Aluminium alloy hybrid composites are in high demand for advanced scientific applications due to their high strength, low weight, and enhanced tribological properties. A hybrid composite of aluminium alloy (Al7075) and aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and E-glass shot fibres was produced using a sand moulding technique in an electric resistance furnace. The objective of this research was to look at the wear characteristics of Al7075-Al2O3-E-glass hybrid composites with various Al2O3 (3-12%) and E-glass weight percentages (2-6 percent). The sliding distance (500, 1000, and 1500 m), load (10, 20, and 30N), Al2O3 (3, 6, and 9 %), and E-glass (2-6 %) are the wear characteristics that are considered. Wear testing is carried out using pin-on-disc equipment (WTE 165 model, Version-EV00) in line with the Taguchi L9 orthogonal array. Taguchi analysis was done on the collected data to find SN plots. Regression analysis was done along with ANOVA to find relationships between different factors selected. In order to reduce the wear rate of hybrid composites, the optimal wear parameters are determined. As the percentage of reinforcements increased, the rate of deterioration decreased. SEM scans revealed the attachment and displacement of unintended wear debris, as well as the uniform distribution of Al2O3/E-glass particles.
