This paper investigated the influence of titanium carbide (TiC) content on the processing, microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of Inconel 718/TiC composites produced by binder jetting additive manufacturing. It was found that increasing the amount of TiC required an increase of the drying intensity during printing due to a decrease in the thermal conductivity of the powder mixture. The sintering process also depended on the TiC content. The most optimal modes were 1270 °C for 10 h for samples with 0 and 3% TiC and 1280 °C for 5 h for samples with 5 and 10% TiC. The hardness of the materials increased as the proportion of reinforcement increased. The best tensile properties, also at high temperatures, were possessed by samples with 3% TiC, showing high strength and, in addition, satisfactory plasticity. The maximum wear resistance was achieved by the composite material containing 5% TiC.

One of the long-standing challenges in the field of titanium matrix composites is achieving the synergistic optimization of high strength and excellent ductility. When pursuing high strength characteristics in materials, it is often difficult to consider their ductility. Therefore, this study prepared a Ti1400 alloy and in situ synthesized TiC-reinforced (TiC + Ti1400)/TC4 composites using low-energy ball milling and spark plasma sintering technology, followed by hot rolling, to obtain titanium matrix composites with excellent mechanical properties.

To enhance the tribological properties of the coatings and to inhibit cracking, sandwich-structured composite coatings were fabricated, consisting of a Ni60CuMo/IN718 transition layer and a Ni60CuMo/Ni-coated Cu wear-resistant layer with four different Ni-coated Cu contents. The results indicate that the transition layer inhibits the crack formation in the coating, and the refined grain structure stabilizes its average hardness at approximately 485 HV. Increasing the Cu content in the wear-resistant layer exacerbates the segregation of the Cu-rich solid solution phases and refines the in situ-generated CrC, TiC, and NbC phases.

TiC provides a promising potential for high-temperature microwave absorbers due to its unique combination of thermal stability, high electrical conductivity, and robust structural integrity. C@TiC/SiO composites were successfully fabricated using a simple blending and cold-pressing method. The effects of C@TiC's absorbent content and temperature on the dielectric and microwave absorption properties of C@TiC/SiO composites were investigated.

To understand the distribution pattern and influencing factors of plant community and diversity along the altitude gradient, we examined plant community types, plant diversity and phylogenetic diversity of mountain steppe in Luoshan, Ningxia, and analyzed the relationship between the plant community and its diversity and environmental driving factors. The results showed that the main community types in the mountain steppe were community, community, community, community, + community, community, ++ community, + community, + community, community, community and community. The distribution of mountain steppe community was mainly affected by altitude, soil alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen, water content, available potassium, silt and organic matter contents, with altitude and soil water content having the greatest effects (<0.

Imaging can help to diagnose CNS vasculitis. Yet so far, no imaging studies of CNS vasculitis at 7T are available. We share our experience of vessel wall imaging (VWI) at 7T in patients with suspected vasculitis.
