Purpose The COVID-19 pandemic emphasises the need for antiviral materials that can reduce airborne and surface-based virus transmission. This study aims to propose use of additive manufacturing (AM) surrogate modelling rapid development deployment novel copper-tungsten-silver (Cu-W-Ag) microporous architecture shows strong behaviour against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-...

The present study employed a tungsten pH microelectrode to the formation of trivalent chromium conversion (TCC) coatings on Al, AA 2024-T3 aluminum alloy and AZ91D magnesium in SurTec ChromitAL solutions. had sensitivity –60 mV/pH peak final values for pre-treated 2024 were 4.9 3.5, 4.3 4.1, 4.7 respectively. initial value is great importance influencing coating deposition-driven force thicknes...

Closeness of electrochemical properties uranium and zirconium makes separation these metals in pyroelectrochemical reprocessing spent nuclear fuels a challenging task. Varying electrode material can change metals’ deposition potentials. The study was aimed at assessing the effect cathode on potentials from 3LiCl–2KCl based melts. Solid (tungsten) liquid (gallium, zinc, Ga–Zn, Ga–Sn Ga–In alloy)...

Alloys meeting the requirements of “700 °C and above” advanced ultra-super-critical technology, with higher thermal efficiency, have been developed in recent years. Here, a new wrought Ni-based superalloy excellent high-temperature creep strength based on Waspaloy has is proposed as candidate material for application 700 class steam turbine blades. In this alloy, Molybdenum (Mo) partially repla...
