A mixture of elemental Cr-Si powders has been subjected to mechanical alloying (MA) at room temperature to prepare CrSi2 thermoelectric compound.The MA powders were sintered at 800-1000 °C Cunder 60 MPa using spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. Due to the observed larger loss of Si relative Cr during ball milling, the starting composition was modified to Cr30Si70, Cr31.5Si68.5 and Cr33Si67 to get a single phase of CrSi2 compound. The single phase CrSi2 has been obtained by MA of Cr31.5Si68.5 mixture powders for 70 h and subsequently sintered at 1000 °C. X-ray diffraction data shows that the SPS compact sintered at 1000 °C consists of only nanocrystalline CrSi2 compound with a grain size of 250 nm. The value of Seebeck coefficient of CrSi2 compound increases with temperature and reaches maximum value of 245 µV/K at 300 °C.

Article Synopsis
- A TiB-CeO-modified (Nb,Mo,Cr,W)Si coating was developed for niobium alloys to enhance performance at high temperatures, addressing shortcomings of traditional NbSi coatings.
- At 1700 °C, this new coating exhibited over 20 hours of oxidation resistance thanks to a protective TiO-SiO-CrO composite oxide film that minimized oxygen penetration.
- The coating also demonstrated exceptional thermal shock resistance, surviving more than 1600 thermal cycles due to the formation of silicides, which improved fracture toughness and managed thermal stress effectively.

Aluminum contaminations, particularly iron, present a serious challenge to aluminum recycling technology. This is why many studies have focused on the reduction of detrimental effects of iron-containing contaminations through addition of elements such as manganese and chromium. However, the desirable modifying effect is often difficult to achieve because it would require concentrations of added elements greater than the allowable limits for many aluminum alloys.

Nonmetal elements strictly govern the electrochemical performance of molybdenum compounds. Yet, the exact role played by nonmetals during electrocatalysis remains largely obscure. With intermetallic MoSi comprising silicene subunits, we present an unprecedented hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) behavior in aqueous alkaline solution.

Intermetallic phases exhibit a vast structural diversity in which electron count is known to be one controlling factor. However, chemical bonding theory has yet to establish how electron counts and structure are interrelated for the majority of these compounds. Recently, a simple bonding picture for transition metal (T)-main group (E) intermetallics has begun to take shape based on isolobal analogies to molecular T complexes.
