Summary: The use of cerium-based conversion coating has been shown to effectively improve the corrosion resistance of squeeze-cast Mg-4wt%Y alloy in a salt solution, with significant reduction in corrosion rate observed compared to the base alloy. The corrosion mechanism predominantly involves pitting corrosion around the second phase due to micro-galvanic coupling between alpha-Mg phase and Mg24Y5 precipitates.

Summary: Deposition of coatings on a cheaper substrate material is an economical and effective way to improve its surface properties. This study examines the impact of substrate surface roughness and ceramic content on the deposition behavior of coatings, highlighting the importance of polishing the substrate for better adhesion. Additionally, high ceramic content in the feedstock leads to reduced deposition efficiency and mechanical properties. Furthermore, the cold sprayed Ti/20%TiO2 composite coating demonstrates successful corrosion and wear protection for the steel substrate.

Summary: CaTixOy-Ti coatings were in-situ grown on Ti6Al4V alloy using laser direct energy deposition. The synergistic behaviors of tribocorrosion and electrochemical performance of CaTixOy-Ti coatings in 0.9% NaCl solution were investigated. The results showed that the friction coefficients and wear rates of CaTixOy-Ti coatings increased with laser power, and the dominant mechanism was abrasive wear accompanied by adhesive wear. The highest polarization resistance and charge transfer resistance were observed in the CaTixOy-Ti1200 W coating, attributed to the valence state of Ti in the CaTixOy compounds.

Summary: Pure hydroxyapatite, pure titanium, and titanium-hydroxyapatite composite coatings with different titanium contents were deposited on 254 SMO steel. The Ti40-HAp composite coating exhibited the highest microhardness and adhesion strength due to its low porosity and low coefficient of thermal expansion. The bioactivity of the coatings decreased as the titanium content increased. The formation of rutile TiO2 and CaTiO3 phases significantly enhanced the performance of the coatings.

Summary: The parsley extract (PLE) was used as a corrosion inhibitor in combination with iodide, exhibiting an optimal corrosion inhibition efficiency of 99%. The combined inhibitor showed a favorable long-term corrosion inhibition effect, with over 90% inhibition efficiency maintained after 144 hours. The introduction of iodide led to a higher negative charge amount on the carbon steel surface, facilitating the interaction between the corrosion inhibitor and Fe atoms.

Summary: The battery thermal management system (BTMS) is crucial for the security and performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Liquid-based technique, as a major category of BTMS, has been extensively analyzed and reviewed due to its high heat transfer efficiency and thermal stability. However, the multi-objective optimization process and unified evaluation system for liquid-based BTMS have not been well refined and summarized. This paper systematically summarizes and analyzes existing liquid-based systems, provides a general framework for multi-objective optimization methodology, and constructs a unified and comprehensive evaluation system for various liquid-cooled BTMS.
