As the demand for lightweight structures in the transportation industry continues to rise, AA5083 aluminum alloy has become increasingly prominent due to its superior corrosion resistance and weldability. To facilitate the production of high-quality, intricate AA5083 components, 5087 aluminum filler wire is commonly utilized in metal inert gas (MIG) welding processes for industrial applications. The optimization of filler wire composition is critical to enhancing the mechanical properties of AA5083 MIG-welded joints.

The HEA NPs-AC showed excellent catalytic performance in the degradation of methylene blue (MB) without any peroxide addition. Besides, their reaction rate is also competitive among single-element and other catalysts.
