Effects of Cr, Al, and Mo on the Mechanical Properties and CO2 Corrosion Resistance of Cr-Al Alloyed Oil Well Tubular Steel

CO2 corrosion is one of the major failure mechanisms affecting oil well tubular steels during oil and gas extraction. Although high-Cr stainless steels exhibit excellent corrosion resistance, their high cost limits practical applications. Therefore, developing economical low-Cr s...

Converting Segregation‐Induced Banding Into Layered Heterostructures for Enhanced Strength‐Toughness Synergy in Low‐Alloy Steel Plates

The strength–ductility–toughness trade‐off remains a central challenge in structural steels, particularly for large‐dimension plates where advanced heterostructure‐processing routes are often difficult to scale. Here, we propose an industrially compatible strategy that converts s...

Effect of Semisolid Casting and Rapid Solidification Processes on Microstructure and Damping Behavior of A356 Aluminum Alloy

This research seeks to enhance the vibration‐damping and noise‐suppression performance of automobiles, while also increasing the damping capacity of A356 aluminum alloys employed in vehicle components. Accordingly, A356 aluminum alloys were prepared via semisolid casting combined...

Functional Performance and Patient-Reported Goal Attainment with a Novel Microprocessor-Controlled Knee in Active Transfemoral Amputees: A Multicenter Randomized Crossover Trial

Background/Objectives: Lower-limb amputation significantly impacts autonomy and daily functioning. Microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees (MPKs) improve mobility, safety, and quality of life compared with non-microprocessor prosthetic knees (nMPKs). Despite general benefits,...

Numerical study of grate plate configuration effects on cooling non-uniformity and phase transformation of 82Mn wire rod coils in a Stelmor line

Cooling non-uniformity in the Stelmor air-cooling line causes persistent temperature differences between the overlap-dense and loosely packed regions of wire rod coils, leading to heterogeneous phase transformation and inconsistent mechanical properties. This study investigates t...
