AI Article Synopsis

  • Chronic animal experiments indicated that aerosols from cast iron welding with nickel-based electrodes can have blastomogenic effects, primarily due to copper and manganese particles.
  • Morphological differences, chemical composition, and solubility of these particles significantly influence their toxicity and carcinogenic properties.
  • The potential for copper and manganese compounds to reduce nickel's cancer risk highlights the need for improved hygienic standards in welding materials.

Article Abstract

Chronic experiments on animals showed that aerosols formed during cast iron welding and facing due to the use of electrode nickel-based materials could produce blastomogenic effect that was mostly caused by the presence of copper-and manganese-containing aerosols in the particles of the solid component. Morphologic inhomogeneity of the particles of the solid component, qualitative composition and solubility of the compounds spatially arranged in the surface layer were of great importance for their carcinogenic and toxic effect. The capacity of copper- and manganese-containing compounds to suppress nickel carcinogenic effect should be taken into account when developing welding and facing materials with better hygienic characteristics.

The welding of titanium alloys is an important topic in today's industrial field, and the interaction between the solder and the base material is crucial for the quality of the welded parts. The structural, elastic, electronic, and thermal properties of Ti-Al-Me (Me = Cu, Fe and Ni) alloys (TAMs) with the face-centered cubic structures were investigated using plane-wave pseudo potential method in the framework of density functional theory. Based on the calculated elastic constants combined with empirical and semi-empirical formulas, physical properties including ductility/brittleness, hardness and anisotropy were calculated.

Welding of S960QL High-Strength Steel by the Manual-Automated MAG Technique-A Study of Mechanical Properties, Residual Stresses and Fracture Mechanisms in the Heat-Affected Zone.

Materials (Basel)

November 2024

Institute of Robots & Machine Design, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Military University of Technology, ul. gen. S. Kaliskiego 2, 00-908 Warsaw, Poland.

This paper presents results of investigations of a V-type welded joint made of S960QL high-strength steel made using a mixed technique: the root was welded manually and the face automatically. Although high-strength steels have been available on the market for many years, they are still the subject of research due to their increasingly widespread usage. For this reason, detailed investigations of welded joints of S960QL steel were carried out in terms of microstructure, microhardness, impact toughness and residual stresses, in order to expand knowledge in this area.

Article Synopsis
  • Mn chalcogenide cathodes have potential for high-capacity in aqueous Zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) but struggle with issues like Mn dissolution and chalcogenide decomposition, which affect performance and raise environmental concerns.
  • The incorporation of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) helps stabilize MnSe nanoparticles, enhancing the cathode's capacity, cycle life, and stability while preventing Mn and Se loss during operation.
  • Advanced calculations also reveal that Se-doped rGO has a strong attraction to Mn and Se, improving structural stability and minimizing unwanted reactions, indicating a promising direction for eco-friendly AZIBs.
