Summary: This study investigates the adhesion of cold-sprayed copper particles onto differently adjusted hardness and roughness values of AISI 304 stainless steel surfaces. With SEM analysis and nano-indentation tests, it was found that grit-blasting causes severe plastic deformation of the surface, while vacuum annealing can restore the original hardness. The adhesion of cold-sprayed copper particles was found to be higher on roughened and softened substrates than on polished surfaces.

Summary: This study investigates the plastic strain distribution of cold spray Cu powders and coatings using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis. It is found that more dynamic recrystallization and plastic strain release occur in the as-sprayed EP and GA coatings compared to the WA coating. The influence of recrystallization of twin grains in the GA coating on the ductility of the coating is discussed. The static recrystallization in the postannealing treatment is more prominent in the EP and GA coatings, supporting differences in dynamic recrystallization among the cold-sprayed coatings determined through EBSD analysis. The thermal conductivity of cold-sprayed Cu coatings is affected by recrystallization and strain release.

Summary: The FeMnCrSi alloy deposited by Cold Gas Spray (CGS) process using N2 working gas at 1000 degrees C showed higher hardness, elastic modulus, cavitation resistance, and sliding wear resistance compared to deposition at 900 and 1100 degrees C. Samples sprayed with N2 at 1000 degrees C and He at 600 degrees C demonstrated higher compressive residual stress and flatness ratio as well. Tests were conducted on CGS sprayed 316 L stainless steel as a benchmark material.

Summary: Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have been extensively studied for their mechanical properties. This study investigated the retention of B4C particles and its effect on the microstructure and tribological properties of cold sprayed Al matrix composites. It was found that smaller Al particles are more conducive to the retention of B4C particles, resulting in improved bonding strength, hardness, and wear resistance of the coating. Increasing B4C particles also caused a shift in wear mechanism from adhesive wear to abrasive wear.

Summary: In this research, in-situ molybdenum composite coatings were prepared using plasma spraying of Mo-B4C and MoO3-AlB4C composite powders. The microstructure, microhardness, and dry sliding wear resistance of the coatings were investigated. The results showed that MoB2 and beta-MoB were formed through an in-situ reaction between Mo and B4C. These phases improved the microhardness of the molybdenum composite coating and formed a surface adsorption layer with the oxide film, preventing fatigue crack propagation. The coating obtained from Mo-B4C composite powders exhibited better tribological performance compared to the coating obtained from MoO3-Al-B4C composite powders.

Summary: Metal matrix composites reinforced with WC particles and Co or Ni matrices are known for their unique combination of hardness, toughness, and superior wear performance. This study focused on Ni-WCNi composite coatings and found that coatings with higher WC fill ratios displayed better wear resistance due to the uniform distribution of WC particles and shorter mean free path reducing adhesive wear. However, at higher loads, subsurface crack propagation at WC particle interfaces led to a reduction in the protective role of mechanically mixed layers. Scratch tests were used to qualitatively compare coating cohesion strengths and correlate them to wear properties.

Summary: This study focuses on the development of hard, wear-resistant ceramic-based coatings containing Alumina (Al2O3) doped with 0.8% Ceria (CeO2) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO, 0-0.2%) on 17-4 PH steel using High -Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) thermal spray process. The addition of rGO improves the coatings' friction coefficient and corrosion response. The Al2O3-CeO2-rGO coating exhibits higher elastic modulus, nano hardness, and lower specific wear rate compared to the Al2O3-CeO2 coating and 17-4 PH steel.

Summary: Solid solution strengthened Ni-based superalloy Hastelloy X parts were fabricated using the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing process to develop a strong crystallographic texture. Tensile properties at room temperature were highly dependent on crystallographic orientation, with unique combinations of strength and ductility observed. Deformation twinning was found in the <110> and <111> samples, but not in the <100> orientation, with significant impact of crystallographic orientation on effective stacking fault energies and critical stress for deformation twinning.

Summary: In this study, the microstructural changes of Pd thin films during hydrogen cycling were systematically investigated. The morphology, grain orientation, stress, and dislocation densities were analyzed for different substrate types. The results showed that the stress increase caused by lattice expansion and contraction during the Pd to Pd-hydride transition could be stabilized through grain boundary motion. Furthermore, crack-based stress relief mechanism was observed for Pd thin films on certain substrates. The findings highlight the importance of substrate compliance in enhancing the stability and mechanical properties of Pd thin films.

Summary: Surface compositions are crucial for the efficiency and lifespan of membranes and catalysts. Computational modeling can aid in predicting and controlling surface segregation, leading to the design of novel materials with improved performances. In this study, a computational model based on Miedema's model and Monte Carlo simulations is developed to predict surface segregation in ternary alloys. The model enables the screening of a wide range of alloy compositions and the design of a novel Pd-based ternary material for H2 separation membranes, expected to exhibit reduced poisoning and enhanced permeability compared to pure Pd.

Summary: Due to the harsh conditions in steel production, it is difficult to observe the compositional changes in the steel and oxide scale in real-time. A numerical model is developed to predict the formation of oxide phases and composition profile of steel alloy during external oxidation. The model is applied to high-temperature oxidation of Fe-Mn alloys and experimental data is used to determine the kinetic parameters. The simulations show that temperature and oxygen partial pressure affect the thickness of the depleted area.

Summary: Refractory metal based alloys have great potential as structural materials for high-temperature applications due to their high melting points. However, they are prone to catastrophic oxidation at around 700 degrees C. This study investigated the effect of aluminium diffusion coatings on the oxidation resistance of pure molybdenum, niobium, tantalum, and tungsten. The results showed that the aluminization improved the oxidation behavior and decreased the oxide growth rate for molybdenum and tantalum.
