Ag-Cu alloys used in sliding electrical contacts often fail by delamination under current-carrying friction. This study examines the delamination mechanism in AgCu10 by characterizing subsurface microstructural evolution...

With the continuous improvement of lightweight requirements for equipment, Mg alloys are increasingly widely used, and their joining with traditional steel materials is essential. However, Mg and Fe have almost no solid ...

Introduction. Magnetic separation is one of the most effective and widely used techniques for the purification and enrichment of materials. It plays a crucial role in mineral processing, recycling, and environmental appl...

Abstract Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a reliable solid-state joining technique for aluminium alloys, where conventional fusion welding often causes porosity, solidification cracking, and excessive heat-affected softeni...

IntroductionAmid rising concerns over the fragility of global cereal supply chains under geopolitical tensions, infrastructure underutilization, and decarbonization pressures, this study examines how counterfactual reall...

Bobbin tool friction stir welding (BT-FSW) is a solid-state joining technique that produces high-strength welds without the need for backing plates. This study introduces a new variant, termed hybrid bobbin tool friction...

Abstract In the present investigation, friction stir processing (FSP) is implemented to develop the tungsten carbide (WC) nanoparticle-reinforced aluminum alloy Al6061-T6. The tensile properties of the Al6061-T6/WC surfa...

The present study focused on the evaluation of critical influencing parameters of the FSW of AA6061-T6 and AA2024-T351 alloys. The materials properties of AA6061-T6 are heat-treatable alloys possessing properties of good...

Surface texturing consists of introducingwell-defined, intentional cavities on bearing surfaces, either on the housing or on the rotating shaft. Forsuch configurations, it iswell established in the literature that mass-c...

Emergency evasive maneuvers unfold in short near-limit windows in which combined-slip saturation, load transfer, and rapidly varying friction make onset-computation budget and model mismatch critical to collision-avoidan...
