Summary: High energy ball milling and spark plasma sintering were used to synthesize GNPs/TC4 composites, and the effects of ball milling on microstructural evolution and performance were investigated. With increasing ball milling time, the size of TC4 particles initially increased and then decreased, leading to significant improvements in strength and hardness of the composites but reduced ductility. The optimum balance between strength and ductility was achieved at a ball milling time of 10 hours, attributed to synergistic effects of various strengthening mechanisms.

Summary: In this study, titanium matrix composites with excellent mechanical properties were fabricated by synthesizing TiC particles and Ti-Al-V-Mo-Cr (Ti1400) alloy-reinforced Ti6Al4V (TC4) matrix composites through low-energy ball milling and spark plasma sintering. The composites exhibited higher strength and ductility compared to the TC4 alloy. The increase in strength can be attributed to solid solution strengthening and fine grain strengthening, while the improvement in ductility is a result of the better interface combination and stress distribution provided by the compositional and structural transition zone.

Summary: The influence of sintering temperature, dwelling time at maximum temperature and carbon content on the microstructure and mechanical and magnetic properties of WC-6%Co hardmetal was investigated. Results showed that to maximize hardness and transverse rupture strength (TRS), sintering should be performed at a low temperature (< 1400°C) and with a dwelling time of at least 75 minutes. This is particularly important for low carbon parts to ensure the necessary microstructure homogeneity required for high TRS.

Summary: By regulating the microstructure of TaBx films deposited by magnetron sputtering, the hardness and wear resistance of the films can be improved. With the increase of the bias voltage, the B content decreases and the crystallinity is enhanced. The microstructure of the films transforms from fibrous to dense columnar and then to granular structure. At a bias voltage of -180 V, the films exhibit super high hardness and relatively moderate fracture toughness.

Summary: This study successfully optimized the toughness of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) by adjusting the intergranular fracture (IF) and transgranular fracture (TF) modes. The results showed that a mixture of the IF and TF modes resulted in higher hardness and toughness in PCD compared to a single fracture mode. The toughness of the PCD was approximately three times that of single-crystal diamonds and comparable to that of pure nanotwinned diamonds. The mixed modes introduced toughening mechanisms such as high frequency large crack deflection, crack bridging, pull-out, and crack branching, which increased the toughness of the PCD.

Summary: The particle size and morphology of tungsten powders play a crucial role in determining the processing properties of tungsten products. This study investigated the effects of water vapor partial pressure on the hydrogen reduction of tungsten oxides, and proposed a method of changing the particle size of tungsten powders using bottom blowing hydrogen. The experimental results showed that bottom-blowing hydrogen could improve the uniformity of tungsten powders in a crucible by eliminating discrepancies in water vapor partial pressure. The partial pressure of water vapor increased with the temperature of the water bath, leading to an increase in the average particle size of tungsten powders.
