Twin-roll casting (TRC), as a near-net-shape technology, is employed to fabricate age-hardened Al-Mg-Si alloy. Compared with conventional direct chill (DC) casting, the TRC method is much more economical and efficient. In this work, the microstructure, precipitates behavior, and mechanical properties of age-hardened Al-Mg-Si alloy sheet fabricated by TRC were investigated by hardness measurements and tensile tests, metallographic microscopy, field emission gun scanning electron microscope, electron backscatter diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry analyses. It was found that the size of recrystallized grains for DC casting alloy with finely dispersed particles was larger than that of TRC alloy with coarse particles. Typical Cube texture accompanied by P texture formed after solution treatment made the value of reach ~0.7 in the TRC alloy due to the PSN effect caused by the segregation of particles. More GP zones resulted in the strength of TRC alloy being higher than that of DC casting alloy after T8X treatment. With the time of paint-bake hardening extended to 8 h, few segregation particles remained in the TRC alloy. This decreased the concentration of supersaturated atoms. The hardness of the TRC alloy with the lower density of the β″ strengthening phase was lower compared to the DC casting alloy.

Colloidal two-dimensional (2D) nanoplatelets (NPLs) have been extensively studied owing to promising potential in optoelectronic applications. Here, we have reported the preparation of 2D CdSeTe alloy NPLs and investigated their energy and charge transfer with porphyrin molecules. The red shifting in the optical properties suggests the change in the band gaps.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares the mechanical strength of short-length uni-cortical screws (SL75UCS) and full-length screws (FL100S) in a distal radius fracture model using cadaver wrists.
- No significant differences were found in stiffness, elastic limit, or maximal force between the two screw types under axial and torsional compression tests.
- The results suggest that SL75UCS can be a safe alternative to FL100S in treating distal radius fractures, potentially lowering the risk of complications like extensor tendon injuries.

Background: It is of great significance to understand the effect of the different corrosion behaviors of magnesium (Mg) alloys manufactured using different casting methods and implanted with different methods on the long-term implantation to expand the application of Mg-based biomedical implants.
Objective: The effects of four different casting and rolling speeds on the microstructure of an Mg-rare earth (Mg-Re) alloy were analyzed using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD).
Method: Four Mg alloys were obtained using vertical two-roll casting (TRC) at 10 m/min, 16 m/min, 24 m/min, and 30 m/min, and their microstructure, corrosion behavior and bone reaction in vivo were studied.

A comparative study was conducted for the machining of two α/β titanium alloys, namely Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) and Ti-6Al-7Nb (Ti67), using wire electric discharge machining (WEDM). The influence of cutting speed and cutting mode on the machined surfaces in terms of surface roughness (Ra), recast layer (RL), and micro-hardness have been evaluated. Rough cut (RC) mode at a cutting speed of 50 µm/s resulted in thermal damage; Ra was equal to 5.
