In this study, to improve the fatigue strength of the LDED (laser-directed energy deposition) 316L stainless steel, an in situ ultrasonic rolling technology is developed to assist the laser-directed energy deposition process (LDED-UR). The microstructural characteristics and fatigue behavior are comprehensively discussed. The results show that the average size of pores of the LDED-UR alloy is about 10.2 μm, which is much smaller than that of the LDED alloy (34.1 μm). Meanwhile, the density of the LDED alloy is also enhanced from 98.26% to 99.27% via the in situ ultrasonic rolling. With the application of the in situ ultrasonic rolling, the grains are transformed into fully equiaxed grains, and their average grain size is greatly reduced from 84.56 μm to 26.93 μm. The fatigue limit of the LDED-UR alloy is increased by 29% from 210 MPa (LDED alloy) to 270 MPa, which can be ascribed to the decreased porosity and the fine grains. In particular, the crack initiation site of the LDED alloy is located at the surfaces, while it is nucleated from the sub-surface for the LDED-UR alloy. This is mainly attributed to the compression residual stress induced by the in situ ultrasonic rolling. This research offers a valuable understanding of the failure mechanisms in additively manufactured metals, guiding the development of effective strategies to improve their fatigue threshold under severe operating conditions.

Nitrogen fixation is essential for the sustainable development of both human society and the environment. Due to the chemical inertness of the N≡N bond, the traditional Haber-Bosch process operates under extreme conditions, making nitrogen fixation under ambient conditions highly desirable but challenging. In this study, we present an ultrasonic atomizing microdroplet method that achieves nitrogen fixation using water and air under ambient conditions in a rationally designed sealed device, without the need for any catalyst.

Advanced energetic composites possess promising properties and wide-ranging applications in explosives and propellants. Nonetheless, most metal-based energetic composites present significant challenges due to surface oxidation and low-pressure output. This study introduces a facile method to develop energetic composites Cutztr@AP through the intermolecular assembly of nitrogen-rich energetic coordination polymers and high-energy oxidant ammonium perchlorate (AP).

Constructing a strong bonded interface is highly desired to build fast charge-transfer channels and tune reactive sites for optimizing CO photoreduction. In this work, a covalent triazine framework (CTF) combined with a BiSBr heterojunction is designed using an electrostatic self-assembly process. Due to the oppositely charged states between two components and ultrasonic treatment, a strong coupled interface is realized with the formation of Bi-C/N/O bonds, leading to robust interfacial polarization.
