Promising CO gas sensor application of zinc oxide nanomaterials fabricated via HVPG technique.

Highly effective gas sensors for detecting a range of hazardous and toxic gases were successfully applied in the present study using Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanomaterials. In this work, the horizontal vapor phase growth (HVPG) technique was perfectly capable of the synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanomaterials. The effect of the growth time with different dwell times was discussed by comparing the SEM-EDX analysis and photoluminescence characterization of the samples.

Double side friction stir welding effect on mechanical properties and corrosion rate of aluminum alloy AA6061.

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state welding method that has diffusion and different metal structures can blend well. Friction stir welding (FSW) has a weakness, one of which is the lack of flexibility the welding process is only carried out on one side of the plate being welded, so it is not applied on thick materials. Double side friction stir welding is a double working process in which the plate to be welded is subjected to friction from two tools on opposite sides.
