Cold metal transfer (CMT) is a pioneering feeding system widely used in wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) and welding. However, process optimisation remains challenging. Although CMT has been extensively applied in various industrial sectors, its underlying mechanism is poorly understood because of the complex physics of the interactions between the wire and molten material and the wire's highly dynamic motion. To elucidate the complexity and features of CMT, we explore the dynamic behaviour and anatomy of molten materials during wire motions (withdrawal and dipping cycles) using high-speed photography at a timescale of microseconds. We reveal a crucial driving force in the melt pool and the frequent ejection of streams or particles during CMT. This study contributes to WAAM and welding by presenting the influential features of ultra-high-dynamics CMT and facilitating the progression of process optimisation.

Microbial oils are gaining attention as a promising raw material for biodiesel production. However, the high cost of microbial culture media and the elevated cold filter plugging point of the resulting biodiesel hinder their conversion. This study focused on fermenting SGs with added metal ions to regulate microbial oil saturation and enhance biodiesel quality.

Heavy metal pollution in soils poses significant threats to ecosystems and human health. Traditional remediation methods (such as phytoremediation, thermal treatment, and electrokinetic remediation) are frequently limited by high costs and low efficiency. This study presents a novel approach using a small-scale hydrocyclone designed through numerical simulations to effectively separate fine-particle-contaminated soil.

Lithium metal batteries optimized for low-temperature conditions are essential for use in cold climate applications. Nevertheless, they are hindered by the markedly reduced kinetics of lithium-ion transport in the vicinity of the lithium metal anode under low-temperature conditions. In contrast to the commonly used electrolyte engineering approaches, this study introduces a design strategy of using a functional fluorocarbon interlayer to reconstruct the surface of the lithium foil (Li@GF), aiming to effectively enhance the electrochemical reaction kinetics of the lithium metal anode at low temperatures.
