The hot deformation behaviour of air-hardening martensitic forging steels (of type 1.5132) is presented. The newly developed steels are characterized through dilatometric tests as well as through microstructure analyses with LOM and SEM and hardness measurements. Additionally, the influence of alloying elements on the flow curves at high temperatures is discussed. It is demonstrated that the higher alloying content does not increase the equivalent stresses in comparison to the reference alloys and contrariwise reduces the offset for dynamic recrystallization at temperatures below 1100 ∘C. Furthermore, the effect of different alloying elements on the strain hardening behaviour during hot compression of 4wt.-% medium manganese steels is presented. It is shown that boron reduces the offset for dynamic recrystallization if present in solid solution, while the combined addition of titanium and niobium annihilates the solid drag effect on the prior austenite grain boundaries.

Correlating the bond strength with the macro strength of metals is crucial for understanding mechanical properties and designing multi-principal-element alloys (MPEAs). Motivated by the role of grain boundaries in the strength of metals, we introduce a predictive model to determine the grain-boundary energies and strength of metals from the cohesive energy and atomic radius. This scheme originates from the d-band characteristics and broken-bond spirit of tight-binding models, and demonstrates that the repulsive/attractive effects play different roles in the variation of bond strength for different metals.

Scandium (Sc) can orderly occupy interstitial sites within the Ω phase of aluminum alloys, forming a new phase that significantly enhances the thermal stability of the alloy. However, Sc is relatively expensive and rare. In this work, we employ first-principles calculations to delve into the physical essence interstitial ordering of Sc in enhancing thermal stability at the electronic level, thereby revealing the crucial factors responsible for this improvement.

Background: Low back pain affects over 80 % of adults, with sacroiliac joint dysfunction accounting for 15-30 % of these cases. Sacroiliac fusion is a surgical procedure for refractory joint pain. While the biomechanics of the joint and its fusion relative to the spinal column are well-known, the hip-spine relationship post-fusion remains unclear.

To avoid wear and tear of the slip ring due to electrical corrosion, the slip ring needs to undergo the running-in process under atmospheric conditions without current after assembly. To address the urgent demand for long-service capability space conductive slip rings in the aerospace field, the running-in behavior and failure mechanism between the AgCuNi alloy and Au-electroplated layer are investigated using a ball-on-disc tribometer in this paper. The results show that the transfer film composed of Au plays an important role in modifying the friction during the sliding process.

This study presents a comparative analysis of the influence of Ce-Gd and Gd-Y additions on the microstructural evolution, mechanical properties, and electrochemical behavior of extruded Mg-3Zn-Mn-Ca alloy rods. Despite the frequent incorporation of Gd, Y, and Ce as alloying elements in magnesium alloys, the systematic examination of their combined effects on Mg-Zn alloys has been limited. Our findings reveal that both Gd-Ce and Gd-Y additions significantly enhance the mechanical properties of Mg-3Zn-Mn-Ca alloy, although through differing mechanisms.
