Abstract
The drawing process severely deforms commercial AA1070 alloy for electrical wire, reducing a rod from a diameter of 2.0 mm to 0.4 mm, followed by annealing. The annealing process was conducted at various temperatures ranging from 200℃ to 450℃, with each temperature maintained for 1hour. The effects of increasing annealing..... More

Abstract
Copper is widely utilized in electric vehicle batteries due to its excellent electrical conductivity, lightweight, and excellent corrosion resistance. However, copper has a high reflectivity of about 97% for infrared lasers, which makes it difficult to achieve stable welding quality. This study investigated using a green laser to weld nickel-coated..... More

Abstract
The Rene N5 is a second-generation single crystal superalloy containing 3wt% Re, commonly used in gas turbine blades for power generation at temperatures up to 1600°C due to its excellent creep life. Generally, single crystal (SX) and directionally solidified (DS) blades are not applied to hot isostatic pressing (HIP) because..... More

Abstract
Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are essential fundamental components in electronic devices, enabling miniaturization and high capacitance for energy storage and filtering. A key focus in MLCC research is enhancing capacitance density, for which improving the connectivity of Ni internal electrodes is imperative. The primary cause of reduced electrode connectivity in..... More

Abstract
This study investigates the thermoelectric properties of Pb-doped p-type Bi_0.5Sb_1.5Te₃ alloys using the Single Parabolic Band (SPB) model, focusing on optimizing room-temperature performance. We systematically analyze the effects of Pb doping (0, 0.49, 0.65, 0.81, 0.97, and 1.3 at%) on key parameters including density-of-states effective mass (m_d *), non-degenerate mobility..... More

Abstract
Bismuth telluride (Bi₂Te₃)-based alloys are widely used for thermoelectric cooling and power generation at low temperatures, and they are the only commercially available materials for thermoelectric applications below 500 K. The rhombohedral unit cell with a large c/a lattice constant ratio consisting of - Te-Bi-Te-Bi-Te- stacked layers inevitably brings about..... More

Abstract
Residual antibiotics in natural aquatic environments pose a critical threat to humans and other organisms. However, most sewage treatment plants fail to remove them. Photocatalytic nanomaterials can efficiently destroy these persistent organic pollutants in wastewater. In this study, we developed a series of cobalt-doped SrTiO₃ (Co-STO) catalysts with different doping..... More

Abstract
This study investigates the effect of adding Al to Mg molten metal on the microstructural characteristics and hardness of Mg-Ti composites fabricated via a liquid metal dealloying (LMD) process. The addition of Al to the Mg melt significantly reduces the dealloying rate of Cu in a Ti₃₀Cu₇₀ precursor during LMD...... More

Abstract
This study investigated the high-temperature wear characteristics of Ta-10W alloy, composed of 90% tantalum and 10% tungsten, known for its high melting point, excellent corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance. Wear tests were conducted using a ball-on-disc method with alumina balls at temperatures of 200°C, 400°C, 600°C, and 700°C. The results..... More
