Summary: Experimental investigation on the thermal performance of PCM-based heat sinks reveals that HS with PCM has advantages in operating time and reduced temperature at a certain heat flux value, with HS based on CF showing even more significant improvement. Utilization of the VIKOR method for multi attribute decision-making optimization suggests that PCM-based HS with CF is effective for cooling electronic components.

Summary: This paper investigated the effect of curing temperature on the properties of PBO aerogel. It was found that higher curing temperature resulted in improved mechanical properties, but excessively high temperature led to a significant decrease in pore volume and specific surface area. The F-type PBO aerogels showed excellent properties and can be used in aerospace applications or other fields.

Summary: The potential use of magnetic nanopowder for phenol adsorption mobilised on natural grain carbon foam from an aqueous solution was studied. A magnetic nanopowder was synthesised by dissolving an iron sponge in nitric acid to produce iron nitrate, which was added to a natural grain mixture. The effects of initial concentration, time, and TEM characterisation on the synthesised carbon foam were investigated. Kinetic and equilibrium studies showed that the phenol adsorption increased with higher iron content and initial concentration, and the Temkin model provided the best fit to the experimental data. Carbon magnetic nanopowder is considered an outstanding pollutant absorber in environmental investigations due to its exceptional physical and chemical properties.

Summary: A magnetic separable photocatalyst, Fe3O4/Bi2O2(OH)(NO3), was synthesized via co-precipitation and a hydrothermal route. The photocatalytic activity of the Fe3O4/Bi2O2(OH)(NO3) catalyst for rhodamine B degradation was investigated under natural sunlight irradiation. With 3% Fe3O4, the photocatalyst showed high efficiency (about 98.7%) after 120 min of illumination, and the photogenerated holes played a prominent role in dye degradation. This study demonstrates the enhancement of photocatalytic performance by fabricating a novel sunlight-active catalyst with a low electron-hole recombination rate at the interface.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of parent austenite grain refinement on the intervariant boundary network in a lath martensitic steel. It found that refining the parent austenite grain led to a decrease in the fraction of certain boundaries in the martensite and an increase in the connectivity of low energy boundaries, ultimately improving the impact toughness.

Summary: Metastable beta Ti alloys based on the Ti-Nb system have attracted attention due to their unique properties. However, the unstable cyclic behavior of these alloys has hindered their widespread industrial use. Recent studies have shown that internal stresses, including those from dislocations, may be responsible for this behavior. This study demonstrates that inter-cycle thermal treatments can mitigate the unstable cyclic behavior, providing a significant breakthrough in our understanding of Ti-Nb superelastic materials.

Summary: This paper systematically investigated the evolution of microstructure in Fe-Ni-Co-Al polycrystalline alloys and its effects on mechanical properties. The results revealed that the migration of grain boundaries in different processes is driven by different factors, which impacts the grain orientation and precipitate formation. In the process of directional recrystallization, grains with specific orientations grow in the grain boundary region and form the dominant orientation, while grains with lower migration rate form the minor orientation. The alloy produced through directional recrystallization exhibited good recoverable strain and superelastic strain, while the alloy produced through solid solution treatment showed no evident superelastic behavior.

Summary: This study employed laser metal deposition to additively manufacture Ti-15Mo wt% alloy, and subsequently subjected it to post-fabrication uniaxial thermomechanical processing. The results showed that different zones in the microstructure remained after processing, and deformation mechanisms mainly involved slip and martensite formation. The compressive mechanical properties were found to be dependent on strain rate, with higher flow stress and compressive strength observed at higher strain rates. Grain structure homogenisation was not achieved, leading to anisotropic tensile properties.

Summary: This research aims to investigate the effect of roughing and finishing reductions on crystallographic texture. The results show significant heterogeneity in the centerline region, with higher intensity of certain textures. Drop Weight Tear Test indicates that steel specimens with lower and medium reductions exhibit superior low-temperature impact toughness compared to steel with higher reductions. The electrochemical hydrogen charging experiments confirm the presence of internal hydrogen cracks only in steel with lower and medium reductions.

Summary: This study examines the effect of Cr additions on the mechanical behavior of TWIP steel at temperatures ranging from 25°C to 350°C. The results indicate that different temperature-dependent strengthening mechanisms, including mechanical twinning, Dynamic Strain Aging, and slip bands, are at play. The stacking fault energy (SFE) influences the percentage of mechanical twinning, which in turn affects the strain hardening rate.

Summary: This study explores the weldability, microstructures, and mechanical properties of two L1(2)-nanoparticle-strengthened medium-entropy alloys after electron beam welding (EBW). The results show that strong yet ductile defect-free joints were produced, with larger grain sizes in the fusion zones compared to the heat-affected zones and base materials. Both EBWed MEAs exhibited high yield strengths, high ultimate tensile strengths, and good fracture strains at 77 K. The V-doping improved the cryogenic mechanical properties of the TMT MEA.

Summary: The mechanical properties and microstructural evolution of C-doped TRIP-assisted HEA under dynamic loading conditions were systematically investigated in this study. The results showed that dynamic tensile deformation led to an increase in yield strength and a decrease in ultimate tensile strength, with a trend towards increased total elongation. The primary deformation mechanisms shifted from TRIP and TWIP effects to deformation twinning and dislocations. The presence of carbides formed through C-doping hindered dislocation slip and promoted the activation of multiple twinning systems.
