Summary: This study aims to assess the potential of Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM) for Ferritic/Martensitic ODS steels. The results show that it is difficult to obtain the expected characteristics of F/M ODS grades using LAM processes. The powder melting stage currently limits the possibility of obtaining fine and dense precipitation of nano-oxides in these steels.

Summary: The creep behavior of a high yttria Fe-18Cr-2W-0.57Ti-1Y(2)O(3) ferritic oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel produced by powder forging was investigated. Creep tests were conducted at temperatures ranging from 873 K to 1023 K and stresses ranging from 150 MPa to 425 MPa. The results showed high stress exponents and activation energy, indicating the presence of threshold stress due to the interaction between dislocations and oxide particles. The microstructure of the ODS steel remained stable after creep with no significant coarsening of nano size oxide particles.

Summary: The influence of initial powder particle size and processing route on the final material properties of oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) RAF steels was investigated. It was found that differences in powder particle size decreased after milling, and both alloys exhibited similar grain sizes and secondary phase distributions. The steel produced with smaller powder size showed slightly better mechanical properties compared to the other alloy.

Summary: The age-hardening behavior of oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) ferritic steels with different Cr and Al contents was studied through Vickers hardness measurement and tensile tests after ageing at 475 degrees C for up to 900 hours. Atom probe tomography (APT) was used to investigate the evolution of nanometer-scale structure and chemistry. The results revealed that the age-hardening mechanism in ODS steels involves alpha-alpha' phase separation and/or the precipitation of (Al, Ti)-enriched f1 phases. The concentration and volume fraction of alpha' phase increased significantly with increasing Cr content, while the chemical compositions and volume fraction of f1 phases remained relatively constant during ageing.

Summary: The study found that a Si modified steel SIMP exhibited better oxidation resistance compared to T91 in 500 degrees C steam with a flow rate of 5 m/s, and the oxidation rate was significantly enhanced at relatively low dissolved oxygen levels. This suggested that not only alloy composition and dissolved oxygen, but also the flow rate, played important roles in the corrosion behavior of ferritic-martensitic steels.

Summary: In this study, 18Cr ODS steels were produced using mechanical alloying in an attritor mill and powder consolidation through hot forging. The effects of milling time on powder morphology, crystallite size, and lattice strain were investigated. The results showed that the optimum milling time for mechanical alloying was determined to achieve dissolution of constituents in the ferrite matrix, and further milling led to peak broadening. The milled powders were then consolidated through hot powder forging, and the addition of Ti and Y2O3 significantly reduced the grain size in the forged alloys, leading to the formation of fine complex Y-Ti-O oxides.

Summary: The cold spray deposition process was used to manufacture 14YWT oxide-dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel with gas-atomized and ball-milled feed-stock powders. The gas-atomized powder resulted in a thick dense deposit, but annealing above 900 degrees C led to grain growth and heterogeneous precipitation, resulting in lower hardness. The ball-milled powder, after cryomilling and annealing, produced smaller particle sizes and lower hardness, suitable for cold spray deposition, resulting in thick and dense deposits with a favorable microstructure. The cold spray deposits exhibited fine grain sizes and uniform dispersion of Y-Ti-O nanoprecipitates, with hardness values of 770 HV and 496 HV.

Summary: The large-scale industrial application of oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel is restricted due to the expensive cost and challenges of batch mass production. This study introduced a novel method for preparing ODS steel using precursor powder combining with sub-rapid solidification. By this method, an ODS steel based on 316L stainless steel was successfully prepared, and massive diffuse precipitation of nano-scale oxides was achieved through aging at 800 degrees C for 3 h. The aged 0.25% strip exhibited improved mechanical properties with a yield strength of 411 MPa, tensile strength of 730 MPa, and elongation of 33%, attributed to the precipitation of multiscale oxides.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.

Summary: In the study of BM-SCO and HSCO thin films, it was found that H vacancies tend to prefer sites near the external surface or oxygen vacancy channels (OVCs), while H interstitials prefer sites of oxygen on a layer that contains six-fold coordinated Co. These findings not only enrich the understanding of complex surface phenomena of defect formation but also provide an explanation for the reversibility during phase transformation.

Summary: This study explores the potential of biphenylene as a nanocarrier for the delivery of the anticancer drug cisplatin. It is found that biphenylene offers physical stability, rapid release rate, solubility, and bio-compatibilities compared to other nanocarriers. The adsorption of cisplatin on the surface of biphenylene involves charge transfer from cisplatin to biphenylene. The drug is shown to be released at body temperature in an acidic environment. Biphenylene also exhibits excellent cytotoxicity activity and cellular uptake of the drug. Overall, biphenylene shows promise as a potential nanocarrier for cisplatin delivery.

Summary: In this study, a potential platform to enhance Raman scattering and increase the number of observable Raman modes in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) was proposed. The platform consisted of large-scale arrays of gold micropillars (MPs), which were able to enhance the Raman intensity of TMDs and make difficult-to-detect Raman modes observable. The platform showed great industrial advantages and wide applicability due to its low cost, simple process, large controllable area, and short process time.
