In this study, a closed-field unbalanced magnetron sputtering system, which is environmentally friendly and has high deposition efficiency, was used to deposit CrSi coatings on 316 austenitic stainless steel. This system utilised separate Cr and Si targets, and the appropriate content of Cr and Si of the coatings was adjusted by changing the currents applied to the targets. A series of CrSi coatings with different Si/Cr ratios were produced, and their oxidation behaviour at elevated temperatures was investigated. By analysing the weight gain, surface morphology and microstructure, composition and phase constituents, the oxidation behaviour at 600 °C, 700 °C and 800 °C was investigated and the optimized coating to protect the stainless steel has been identified. The outcome of the research indicated that a small amount of Si (between 4-7 at.%) in Cr coatings is effective in protecting the austenitic stainless steel against oxidation at high temperatures, while a high Si content (around 10 at.% or more) makes the coating more brittle and prone to cracking or delamination during oxidation at 800 °C.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the marginal accuracy of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and zirconia copings fabricated using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, and to assess the impact of their material properties on accuracy when produced with a 4-axis milling system under controlled conditions.

Settings And Design: The study employed an in vitro design with a stainless steel die model featuring a 6 mm axial wall height, a 6-degree total occlusal convergence, and a radial shoulder finish line.

Materials And Methods: Thirty stone dies were created from silicone impressions of the metal die and poured using type-IV dental stone.

Hyperspectral imaging, a rapidly evolving field, has witnessed the ascendancy of deep learning techniques, supplanting classical feature extraction and classification methods in various applications. However, many researchers employ arbitrary architectures for hyperspectral image processing, often without rigorous analysis of the interplay between spectral and spatial information. This oversight neglects the implications of combining these two modalities on model performance, consumption, and inference time.

A previous companion paper introduced a current pathways model that represents the electrical coupling between the Hall effect thruster (HET) and the ground-based vacuum test facility operational environment. In this work, we operated a 7-kW class HET at 4.5 kW, 15 A and 6 kW, 20 A on krypton to quantify aspects of the current pathways model to characterize the role metal vacuum chambers play in the thruster's discharge circuit as a function of discharge current.

Multifunctional ortho-quinones are required for the formation of thiol-catechol-connectivities (TCC) but can be delicate to handle. We present the electrochemical oxidation of the dipeptide DiDOPA, achieving up to 92% conversion efficiency of the catechols to ortho-quinones. Graphite and stainless steel could be employed as cost-efficient electrodes.
