Summary: In this study, a modified surface technology was used to suppress and reduce microbial fouling on heat exchange surfaces. The results showed that the Ni-Cu-P modified surface had excellent antifouling performance, with a reduction of 92.0% in microbial fouling compared to carbon steel. By adjusting the operating conditions, such as temperature and flow rate, the accumulation of microbial fouling on the Ni-Cu-P modified surface can be further reduced, allowing for long-term cleaning and effective heat transfer.

Summary: Electroless Ni-P films with different phosphorus content, as well as Ni95P4W1.1 and Ni91P5Mo4W0.4 deposits on Cu(Zn) substrates, were annealed at temperatures up to 450 degrees C. The films consisted of amorphous a-NiP, fcc-Ni, and Ni3P phases, with their amounts and properties changing with film composition and annealing temperature. The embrittlement of the films is related to the transformation of a-NiP to Ni3P, and is more severe in alloys with high phosphorus content. The presence of W and Mo in Ni91P5Mo4W0.4 promotes a constant dislocation density and maintains high fracture toughness after annealing.

Summary: This paper establishes an online monitoring system to investigate the performance of different materials in coal-fired boilers under low-temperature ash deposition and dew point corrosion. The results show that Ni-P coating exhibits excellent anti-fouling performance, while Ni-P-SiO2 coating excels in corrosion resistance. Coated tubes significantly reduce fouling. Based on the comparison of electrode potential, corrosion rate, and surface morphology, the materials can be sorted in terms of corrosion resistance. Therefore, the application of coated tubes in heat exchangers helps recover waste heat, improve heat transfer efficiency, extend the service life of heat exchangers, and save costs.

Summary: This study investigated the fatigue strength of nanocrystalline Ni/Ni-W laminated composites. The results showed that the fatigue resistance of the Ni/Ni-W laminated composites was improved compared to monotonic Ni. Shear banding and voiding were identified as the two dominant modes of fatigue damage in the composites. A deformation map was proposed to explain the critical conditions and transition of shear bands and voids. The introduction of ultrathin Ni-W layers hindered crack propagation across the heterogeneous interface, leading to improved fatigue strength.

Summary: This study presents a modeling investigation on concurrent grain growth and radiation-induced segregation (RIS) in austenitic Fe-Cr-Ni. The results show that grain growth significantly affects RIS in terms of increasing grain size and motion of grain boundaries as defect sinks. Additionally, RIS in nanocrystalline materials induces grain-level compositional redistribution, resulting in grain-size-dependent compositions in individual grains. These findings highlight the different effects of RIS in nanocrystalline alloys compared to coarse-grained counterparts.

Summary: Recently, an electroflotation-membrane separation system with a conductive membrane has emerged as a promising technology for oily wastewater treatment. However, the conductive membrane prepared by electroless plating often lacks stability and has high activation cost. To solve these problems, this study proposed a new strategy of surface metallization using surface nickel-catalyzed electroless nickel plating of nickel-copper-phosphorus alloys on polymeric membranes.

Summary: Due to the widespread use of electronic devices, there is a growing demand for energy harvesting technologies. In this study, a generator based on the magnetoelectric effect is proposed as a promising solution. Polymer-based magnetoelectric laminates consisting of piezoelectric and magnetostrictive phases are used to convert magnetic fields into electric voltage. By adjusting the surface morphology of the magnetostrictive substrate, an optimal magnetoelectric coefficient is achieved in binderless laminates. The different magnetoelectric voltage tendencies in the binderless laminates demonstrate the importance of suitable interface configuration for energy harvesting devices.

Summary: Nanocrystalline Ni-Mo alloy coatings with excellent brightness, high hardness, and corrosion resistance were successfully prepared through electrodeposition. The electrodeposition behavior of Ni-Mo alloy coatings was studied, revealing that the nucleation rate can be accelerated by increasing the current density. XRD and TEM analysis showed that the grain size decreased and dif-fraction peaks gradually disappeared with the increase of Mo content in the alloy coating. The microhardness of the alloy coating was influenced by solid solution strengthening, texture evolution, and plastic deformation. The corrosion resistance of the Ni-Mo alloy coating was found to be better than that of pure Ni coating, with the optimal corrosion resistance achieved at a Mo content of about 15 at%.

Summary: A single-phase nanocrystalline Ni-ZrNbMoTa alloy with a grain size of below 10 nm was prepared by 30 h ball milling, showing good thermal stability during high-temperature annealing. The stability of the nanocrystalline alloy at low alloying levels and/or low temperatures is attributed to grain boundary segregation.
