Dramatic improvement in the strength–ductility balance of dual-phase (DP) steels by optimizing the features of the ferrite phase was attempted. Four types of specimens with and without Nb and with initial microstructures of ferrite–pearlite (P) and martensite (M) were prepared. These specimens were cold-rolled, annealed, and then water-cooled. For the specimens without Nb, the recrystallized ferrite grains in specimen M were finer and more equiaxed than those in specimen P. For the specimens with Nb, nonrecrystallized ferrite grains were observed in specimen P, whereas the finest and most equiaxed recrystallized ferrite grains were observed in specimen M. Additionally, finer recrystallized ferrite grains were formed in specimens M with Nb while maintaining equiaxiality by controlled annealing. By controlling the annealing process, the hardening of the recrystallized ferrite grains due to niobium carbide precipitation was also observed. These results indicate that fine, equiaxed, and hardened recrystallized ferrite grains can be formed by adding Nb, selecting martensite as the initial microstructure, and performing controlled annealing. The strength–ductility balance was significantly improved by adding Nb and selecting martensite as the initial microstructure. Furthermore, the strength–ductility balance of specimens M with Nb was dramatically improved via controlled annealing. This was attributed to the decrease in the strain concentration at the interface between the precipitation-strengthened ferrite and martensite in addition to the fine and equiaxed recrystallized ferrite grains. Therefore, it was concluded that the strength–ductility balance of DP steels can be dramatically improved by optimizing the features of the ferrite phase.

To address the challenges of transporting cementitious materials during the construction of islands and reefs in remote seas, local materials like sea sand and calcium carbonate-rich coral reefs were considered for preparing slag-like powder (SP), and alkali-activated slag-like powder paste (AASPP) was obtained by activating SP with alkaline activators. This study used sea sand and ground calcium carbonate powder as raw materials to prepare five types of SP with different Ca/Si (C/S) ratios by melting, water quenching, and grinding. Liquid sodium silicate (LSS) served as the activator for SP in preparing AASPP with fluidity ranging from 144 to 200 mm, final setting time from 48 to 2272 min, and compressive strength at 28 days reaching up to 135.72 MPa, achieving the strength level of alkali-activated slag paste (AASP). The effects of the silicate modulus (M_s) and Na₂O content (N_c) in LSS, and the C/S ratio in SP on the fluidity, setting time, and strength development of the AASPP were also explored. Additionally, a series of analytical techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electronic microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), were used to explain the underlying reasons for the differences in macroscopic properties from a microscopic perspective. Finally, a M_s of 1.8 and a N_c of 8% were selected as the optimal mix proportion of the LSS-activated SP paste.

The current work investigates the possibility of strengthening grain boundaries by nanoprecipitates using a CrCu coating model system. To this end, two compositions with 30 and 40 at.% of Cu and a balanced amount of Cr were synthesized via physical vapor deposition. The coatings exhibited a thickness of 1.8 μm and a Cr-based solid solution was determined for both systems in the as-deposited state. The precipitation of Cu upon annealing was determined via high-temperature X-ray diffraction analysis. Furthermore, nanoindentation measurements on heat-treated specimens showed a peak hardness and Young's modulus after 400 °C annealing for both coatings. Heating experiments in the transmission electron microscope verified the related formation of nano-scaled Cu precipitates. The conditional fracture toughness and resulting J-Integral were determined for the as-deposited and selected heat-treated states utilizing micromechanical notched cantilever experiments. The annihilation of microstructural defects and the precipitation of nm-sized Cu precipitates within and along the columnar Cr are regarded as the primary strengthening mechanisms. This statement is verified by the appearance of the individual fracture surfaces and proves that tailored precipitation of nm-sized Cu particles is a viable strategy to effectively boost the fracture mechanical properties of physical vapor-deposited CrCu alloys.

The practical application of biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) scaffolds in bone tissue engineering necessitates further enhancements in mechanical properties, cell adhesion, cell viability, hydrophilicity, and degradation rate. Accordingly, this study investigates the effect of incorporating 1 wt% of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) nanosheets on different properties of PLA scaffolds fabricated via fused deposition modeling. Results obtained from differential scanning calorimetry revealed that the crystallinity increased moderately from 1.90 to 2.70% with the addition of g-C₃N₄. Also, incorporating g-C₃N₄ into the PLA matrix significantly reduced the water contact angle of pure PLA from 82.54° to 54.65°, reflecting a transition from a hydrophobic to a hydrophilic surface, enhancing the wettability of the scaffolds, which is crucial for improved cell interaction. Weight loss measurements after 35 days of immersion in the phosphate-buffered saline solution demonstrated that the degradation rate of PLA scaffolds was increased from about 1% to 3.5% after g-C₃N₄ incorporation. Moreover, cell adhesion and viability were significantly improved in the composite scaffolds. Mechanical evaluations indicated that the elastic modulus and compressive strength increased dramatically from 174 to 15 MPa for pure PLA to 435 and 33 MPa for the PLA/g-C₃N₄ composite, respectively. In summary, these results suggest that the incorporation of g-C₃N₄ into PLA scaffolds enhances their mechanical and biological performance, making them excellent candidates for possible use in bone tissue engineering applications.

The measurement of the electrical resistance of specimens based on the established direct current potential drop (DCPD) method is a widely utilized methodology for the detection of damage mechanisms in the field of crack initiation and propagation and change in microstructural details. These include, e.g., dislocation density, void volume fraction, and micro- and macro-cracks. Given the necessity to consider additional factors influencing the electrical resistance, e.g., specimen geometry and temperature, ex-situ measurement techniques are frequently employed through interruption of fatigue testing. However, ex-situ investigations may result in unintended influences, such as changes in contacting, and analyze only discrete states limiting the characterization possibilities and result interpretation. Accordingly, in-situ electrical resistance measurements were employed in this study to characterize the microstructural changes during fatigue with cyclic creeping. To quantify and compensate the effects of geometry, temperature, and deformation-induced austenite-martensite transformation on the electrical resistance during fatigue loading, a complex experimental setup was developed which includes several measurement systems. The combination of strain measurement and potential drop enables a direct transfer of measured strain to electrical resistance. The method was applied and evaluated on high-temperature diffusion-brazed joints with a metastable austenite as base material and Ni-based filler metal. Finally, the change in microstructure was evaluated through electron channeling contrast imaging (ECCI) analyses at different load cycles.

Composite carbides (W,Ti)C enhanced Ni-based coatings were fabricated by laser cladding on 316L stainless steel. The impact of composite carbides (W,Ti)C enhanced on Ni-based composite coatings' microstructure, wear and corrosion behavior are largely explored. The results show that the breaking down of composite phase (W,Ti)C speed up the production of MC and M₂₃C₆ and makes the distribution denser to improve wear-resisting properties. The particle sizes of W + TiC/Ni-based composite coatings are increasingly refined, and the crystal structure transitions from columnar dendrites, isometric, cellular, and eutectic to the eutectic organization. According to the results of friction and wear property tests, the friction coefficient and wear of W + TiC/Ni-based coatings gradually decreased with the increase of the mass fraction of W + TiC, and according to the friction and wear morphology. The generation of plastic deformation was hindered with MC and M₂₃C₆ composite carbides. Based on the results of electrochemical experiments, it can be seen that the corrosion resistance behaviour in sulfur-containing chloride environments gradually deteriorates as the mass fraction of W + TiC increases. In contrast, the corrosion resistance behaviour in chloride environments first deteriorates and then improves, suggesting that the corrosion resistance of MC and M₂₃C₆ composite carbides to sulfur-containing environments will deteriorate.

Ultrasonic surface rolling process is a novel surface enhancement technique that significantly influences the surface integrity and fatigue performance of titanium alloys. In this study, the ultrasonic impact strengthening mechanism was researched by single-point ultrasonic impact strengthening experiment and verified in ultrasonic surface rolling process under actual working conditions. The effects of different ultrasonic impact amplitudes on the deformation strain rate, surface morphology, microstructure, hardness field and residual compressive stress field of Ti–6Al–4V workpieces after USRP were investigated. In the process of single point ultrasonic impact, the impact kinetic energy applied to the workpiece surface is positively correlated with the ultrasonic amplitude, and this could lead to a high strain rate plastic deformation of the material surface. After USRP treatment, the hardness distribution of the workpiece in the depth direction shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing until it reaches the hardness level of the substrate. Compared with the deeper layer deformed region, the number of low-angle grain boundaries (LAGB) was larger at the surface layer of workpiece, which indicates that the degree of grain refinement is significantly improved. The fatigue failure mechanisms and the characteristics of fatigue crack initiation and propagation were studied. Under the condition of ultrasonic amplitude of 4 μm, the fatigue life of Ti–6Al–4V workpiece after USRP could reach about 7,529,116 cycles. This study could provide effective guidance for the mechanisms of ultrasonic impact strengthening and the selection of appropriate ultrasonic impact parameters for titanium alloy workpiece.

Recovery plays distinct roles in nanostructured and coarse-grained metallic materials. While static and dynamic recovery usually soften work-hardened, coarse-grained materials, static recovery has been shown to strengthen nanostructured metals. This study extends this understanding by demonstrating that dynamic recovery can also strengthen nanostructured metals under deformation. Tensile, creep, and plane strain compression tests on nanostructured aluminum reveal a trend of increasing strain-hardening with decreasing strain rate and increasing temperature. Molecular dynamics simulations further indicate that sudden strain rate reductions lead to an initial drop in flow stress, followed by strain hardening. These findings suggest that dynamic recovery could serve as an effective strengthening mechanism for nanostructured metals, offering improvements in uniform elongation.

Si₃N₄ ceramic bearings have demonstrated significant potential in augmenting the performance of liquid rockets. However, the operational conditions, including reciprocating use, ultra-high-speeds, and high-load impacts, impose more stringent requirements on their self-lubricating performance. Consequently, the cryogenic tribological properties of Si₃N₄ ceramic composites with hybrid of multilayer graphene (MLG) and β-Si₃N₄ whisker (β-Si₃N_4w) were thoroughly investigated in this work. The enhanced interatomic binding energy and friction-induced thermal diffusion were identified as contributing factors to the improved low-temperature tribological properties of Si₃N₄ ceramic composites. At a temperature of 77 K, the friction coefficient of Si₃N₄ ceramic composites containing 1 wt% MLG and 3 wt% β-Si₃N_4w, synthesized via spark plasma sintering, dropped to 0.16–0.20, representing a decrease of 39.39–44.83% compared to that at ambient temperature. Microscopic analysis of the worn surfaces indicated that adhesive wear was the predominant wear form for Si₃N₄ ceramic composites under low-temperature conditions. The above research is anticipated to furnish essential insights for the cryogenic self-lubricating design of ceramic composites.

In this study, the effect of solution and aging heat treatments on the microstructure and mechanical properties of GH4099 superalloy fabricated lase powder bed fusion (L-PBF) was investigated.The microstructure of as-manufactured L-PBF-built GH4099 alloy has elongation grain with an average grain size of 33.8 μm and fine cellular dendrites with an average spacing of 400 nm along the building direction. The grain structure of L-PBF-built GH4099 alloy is relatively complex and the grain boundary morphology is irregular. The morphology factor of the grains in the as-built GH4099 alloy primarily ranges between 0.3 and 0.4, with a notable inverse relationship between grain size and morphology factor. The L-PBF-built GH4099 alloy underwent complete recrystallization recrystallization when the solution temperature is 1120 °C and the holding time is extended to 4 h. With an increase in the solution temperature, the time required for complete recrystallization decreases progressively. As epitaxial columnar crystals are progressively replaced by recrystallized grains, the correlation between grain size and morphology factor gradually diminishes. The selection of solution and aging treatment parameters is based on the established relationships between the minimum solution time, temperature, and recrystallization behavior as well as the aging time, temperature, and hardness. The hardness of the fully recrystallized sample reached 460HV after solution at 1140 °C for 2 h and aging at 800 °C for 6 h, while the non-fully recrystallized sample reached 470HV after solution at 1120 °C for 1 h and aging at 750 °C for 8 h.The optimal heat treatment system of L-PBF-built GH4099 alloy is solid solution at 1140 °C for 2h, then aging at 800 for 6h. Under the optimal heat treatment regime, the longitudinal and transverse specimens have yield strengths of 714 and 753 MPa, tensile strengths of 1197 and 1230 MPa, and elongations of 45.3% and 38.9%, respectively.
