To increase the mechanical and improve the operational properties of the AlSi25Cu4Cr and AlSi25Cu5Cr alloys, combinations of the alloying elements Ni, Co and Mo were used. The AlSi25Cu4Cr alloy was additionally alloyed with both Ni and Mo and Ni, Co and Mo, and the AlSi25Cu5Cr alloy was alloyed with Co and Mo in different concentrations. The dental alloys "wiron light" and "wironit" were used to introduce the elements Ni, Co, Mo, as well as additional amounts of Cr into the composition of the base compositions. The thermal analysis recorded a decrease in the liquidus and solidus temperatures of the base alloys, as well as a narrowing of their crystallization temperature range as a result of the added alloying elements. The influence of the used chemical elements on the phase composition of the alloys was established by X-ray diffraction. The elements Cr and Mo do not form secondary strengthening phases but dissolve in the α-solid solution. The results of the corrosion tests conducted in 1 M HCl solution and 1 M HSO solution for 336 h and 504 h show that the elements Ni, Co and Mo improve the corrosion resistance of the alloys.

This study develops a finite element solution to analyze the vibration response of multi-layer shape memory alloy (SMA) composite beams. Using Euler-Bernoulli beam motion equations with tension-compression asymmetry, based on Poorasadion's model, the Newmark method and Newton-Raphson technique are employed. Validating the model against ABAQUS/Standard results for a homogeneous SMA beam shows good agreement.

Increasing the share of circulating scrap in produced castings is not only due to optimizing production costs, but also the need to protect the environment realized by reducing production energy intensity, generating less waste, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, and consuming fewer natural resources. However, this is associated with maintaining the required properties of castings and considering the impact of impurities on the formation of the structure of aluminum alloys. This research concerns the AlSi10MnMg alloy, which introduces 50 to 75% (every 5%) of circulating scrap.

FeP (iron phosphide) alloys have garnered significant interest in recent years due to their potential applications in permanent magnet materials, particularly in the context of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies. We have sought to tailor the magnetic properties, such as magnetization, coercivity, and Curie temperature, to meet the specific requirements of rare-earth-free permanent magnets for various industrial sectors. In this work, we review recent advancements in the exploration of substitutions (Si, Co, Mn, and Ni) within Fe2P alloys aimed at enhancing their magnetic performance as candidates for permanent magnets.

The twin-roll casting (TRC) process has gained significant attention for aluminum sheet production due to its cost-effectiveness and high processing efficiency. However, controlling the initial grain structure of TRC strips remains challenging due to the absence of a hot rolling stage, necessitating an advanced predictive modeling approach. In this study, a cellular automaton-finite element (CA-FE) model was developed to predict the grain structure and texture of aluminum strips fabricated via TRC.

To enhance the mechanical characteristics and corrosion resistance of bridge steel, three distinct groups of test steels with varying Ce contents were formulated. The objective was to investigate the influence of rare earth Ce on the microstructure, impact performance, and corrosion resistance of bridge steel. The addition of rare earth elements improves both the impact performance and the corrosion resistance of bridge steels.
