Summary: Five systems of Ti alloys with 10 wt % of the second metal were electrochemically synthesized in a fluoride-containing ethylene glycol-based electrolyte. Results showed that the Ti90Ag10_40V sample exhibited the highest photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical activities, potentially due to the heterojunction between the oxides, formation of single Ag nanoparticles, and high level of self-organization.

Summary: The bio-inertness of titanium and severe inflammation can inhibit the regulation of osteogenesis-angiogenesis and lead to poor osseointegration of peri-implant. In this study, TiO2 nanotubes of different diameters were prepared on titanium substrate and TNT-70 showed the most significant induction of macrophage differentiation to the pro-healing M2 phenotype. TNT-70 also stimulated the osteogenic potential of MSCs and the angiogenic ability of HUVECs through paracrine signaling. In vivo experiments demonstrated that TNT-70 relieved inflammation, facilitated osteogenesis and angiogenesis, and promoted osseointegration of peri-implant.

Summary: Boric acid is added to the electrolyte to adjust the growth process of TiO2 nanotubes and improve their adhesion to the titanium substrate. The formation of a complex with F(-) results in the slow release of F(-), leading to a slower growth rate of the nanotubes and inhibition of the fluoride-rich TiO2 layer that causes poor adhesion. The improved adhesion is attributed to the combined effect of the fluoride ion enrichment theory and the residual stress theory. Additionally, the addition of boric acid significantly enhances the photoelectric catalytic performance and capacitance area of the TiO2 nanotube arrays.

Summary: X-ray microcomputed tomography was used to observe the localized corrosion of an AA7075-T651 sample immersed in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. Pitting initiated at cathodic intermetallic inclusions and showed a start-and-stop trend due to decoupling effects. Samples with higher extent of cold rolling had a finer and more homogeneous distribution of inclusions, leading to increased pit depth. Alternate immersion with intermittent drying destabilized the passive layer, while continuous immersion for 20 days produced a uniform and protective corrosion product layer.

Summary: Devices used in power electronics, such as GaN, SiC, and other wide band gap semiconductors, have high operating temperatures and require special die attach materials. Traditional solder materials are not suitable due to their limitations. Sintered nano-silver with high thermal and electrical conductivity is a good alternative. High thermomechanical stresses in these devices affect their performance and reliability. Virtual testing using finite element analysis is an effective method to overcome the challenges of building test vehicles and making predictions. The paper demonstrates a detailed reliability assessment using FEA simulations and an analytical fatigue reliability model.

Summary: With the development of heterogeneous integration packaging, there is a growing demand for solders with ideal mechanical properties and melting temperatures. Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) solders are a reliable alternative to PbSn solders, offering ideal mechanical properties and low melting points when alloyed with other elements. SAC-3Bi solder is found to have bismuth precipitation at room temperature after being aged, specifically on the exposed surface. Different cooling rates during solder solidification affect the coarsening rates, indicating varying diffusion and nucleation rates influenced by the cooling process.

Summary: The properties of the deep-sea sponge Euplectella aspergillum's spicules were investigated using in situ nanoindentation in different water conditions. The layered regions of the spicules were found to be softer and more compliant than the central core. Exposure to water resulted in a decrease in stiffness and hardness of the layered regions, indicating the influence of hydration and plasticization on the mechanical behavior. These findings provide insight into the role of spicule architecture and its constituents in determining mechanical properties in a water environment.

Summary: Elemental powders of Al, Ti, Sc, and Zr are blended and processed via laser powder-bed fusion to create binary and ternary alloys. The microstructural analysis and mechanical testing show that the addition of Ti results in the formation of primary precipitates, while the addition of Sc and Zr leads to the formation of fine grain bands. The Al-0.25Ti-0.25Zr alloy exhibits comparable strain rates to Al-0.5Zr at low stresses, but significantly higher strain rates at higher stresses during compressive creep testing. Finite element modeling suggests that the connectivity of coarse and fine grain regions is a critical factor affecting the creep resistance of the alloys.

Summary: The limited slip systems of magnesium (Mg) and its alloys hinder their wide applications. By conducting tensile straining experiments, researchers discovered a rate-dependent transition in the dislocation mechanisms of Mg alloys. At high strain rates, glissile dislocations dominate, while easy-glide dislocations dominate at low strain rates. Abundant glissile dislocations do not necessarily improve ductility.

Summary: Inverse temperature dependences of the detwinning stress were observed in face-centered cubic deformation twins in Cu-8at.%Al alloy. The detwinning stress increased with temperature when the pi detwinning mode was involved, but decreased when the pi/3 mode was involved. The dual effect of temperature on the detwinning stress was due to the reduction of internal stresses pre-existing within the deformation twins. The complete reduction of internal stresses at about 530 degrees C led to the equivalence of the critical stresses of different detwinning modes and a decrease in the yield stress anisotropy of the twin/matrix structure.

Summary: The elastic-plastic transition in magnesium alloy Mg-4.5Zn exhibits bursts of deformation, which are characterized by sudden changes in grain orientation. These bursts occur in a coordinated manner among nearby grains, with the highest burst rate observed at the onset of full plasticity. The most significant burst events are associated with twinning, supported by the observation of twinned structures using electron microscopy. The bursts are often preceded and followed by a stasis in peak movement, indicating a certain "birth size" for twins upon formation and subsequent growth at a later stage.
