Joining immiscible materials such as copper and stainless steel together is a significant concern due to distinct mechanical and metallurgical properties across the joint line, such as melting points, the coefficient of linear thermal expansion, and thermal conductivity. The joint properties of copper to stainless steel welds are in great demand for various mechanical components of the international thermonuclear experimental reactor, ultra-high vacuum system, plan wave linear-accelerator or linac structure, and heat exchanger. These dissimilar-metals joints offer excellent flexibility in design and production, leading to a robust structure for many cutting-edge applications. Hence, the present article reviews the copper to stainless steel joining mechanism under different solid-state processing conditions. The present understanding says that defect-free strong joints between the dissimilar metals are systematically possible. Apart from this understanding, the authors have identified and highlighted the gaps in the research exploration to date. Moreover, a sustainable methodology to achieve a desirable weld of copper to stainless steel depends on favorable processing conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • Hyperspectral imaging is increasingly using deep learning techniques instead of traditional methods for processing, but many researchers don't adequately analyze how spectral and spatial information interact.
  • The paper assesses how different combinations of spatial (texture) and spectral (light wavelength) features affect deep learning models for image segmentation, focusing on performance, energy usage, and speed.
  • Results indicate that integrating spatial data with spectral information enhances segmentation accuracy, but not all spectral wavelengths are needed for optimal efficiency, and adapting existing RGB image models for hyperspectral tasks needs further innovation.

This study introduces a one-pot, submerged photosynthesis of crystallites (SPsC) method for fabricating monohydrate tungstic acid (WO·HO) nanoplates directly integrated onto a stainless steel mesh, offering a simplified production and enhanced device stability for optical functional applications. The fabricated devices demonstrate exceptional broadband light absorption across the ultraviolet (UV), visible (Vis), and near-infrared (NIR) ranges. Notably, 1% Cu doping significantly boosts the NIR absorption, yielding a high solar utilization efficiency of 81.

The transmission of bacteria through cooking surfaces, the handles of hot plates, and cookware that is not cleaned frequently can pose a problem. In this study, a copper ion-based mixed solution (CBMS) containing only inorganic ions with controlled acidity was assessed as a new antibacterial and antiviral agent. We analysed the structure of the precipitates, and various deposits measuring a few micrometres were observed on the substrates.

Directed energy deposition (DED) is a form of additive manufacturing available across a variety of laser spot diameter values, often referred to as spot sizes. However, there is no method to easily transfer process parameters across discrete spot sizes, leading to DED process parameters that are equipment specific and not widely applicable. In this study, a strategy is proposed and investigated for five spot sizes that keep the areal energy density constant while varying power, feed rate, and powder flow during the deposition of 316L stainless steel.
