Abstract
In this study, the effects of nickel and copper on the mechanical and thermal properties of Al-Si alloys were investigated, for different alloy compositions. Thermodynamic calculations were carried out to predict the alloys’ solidification behavior (solidification temperature, solid fraction and physical properties (density, thermal conductivity, elastic modulus, bulk modulus)). The..... More

Abstract
Lattice structures are multi-functional materials with various advantages such as high specific stiffness, high energy absorption capacity and good thermal management capability. Recently, the development of manufacturing technologies using metal powders has facilitated fabrication of complex products; consequently, interest in lattice structures has grown. In this work, two kinds of..... More

Abstract
Three kinds of Ni-based single crystals with the compositions of 63.8Ni-7.5Cr-5.1Co-4.8Al-1.9Mo- 0.9Ti-3Re-11.8Ta-1.2W, 61.4Ni-7.4Cr-5Co-4.8Al-1.8Mo-0.9Ti-3.1Re-11.6Ta-4W, and 60.9Ni-7.5Cr-5Co-4.8Al- 2Mo-1Ti-2.9Re-10.9Ta-1.2W-3.8Ru, in wt%, were cast in a Bridgman furnace. In the cast alloys, Cr, Co, Re, Mo, W, and Ru became microsegregated in dendrites consisting of γ-Ni, while Ni, Ta, and Al microsegregated in interdendrites..... More

Abstract
.For surface hardening of a continuous casting mold component, a thermal spray coating of NiCrBSi (Metco-16C) and CoCrWC (Stellite-1) was performed followed by laser heat treatment of the coatings. To support selective modification of the thermal spray coating, a metallurgically determined surface temperature was maintained during the laser heat treatment,..... More

Abstract
Lithium-doped zinc oxide (Zn_0.99Li_0.01O) film was manufactured by the sol-gel method using uniform and stable solution of zinc acetate dehydrate and lithium acetate dehydrate in methanol. Films were deposited by spin-coating using spinner between 4500 and 5000 rpm on silicon substrates. The prepared samples were sintered at various temperatures (600..... More

Abstract
In this study, Fe₂O₃ photoelectrode thin films were grown on fluorine-doped tin oxide substrates at various temperatures ranging from 145 to 220 oC using modified chemical bath deposition. The morphological, structural, electrical, and photoelectrochemical properties of the resulting Fe₂O₃ photoelectrode were analyzed using field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction,.....

Abstract
Tetrahedrite has low lattice thermal conductivity because of the lone-pair electrons of Sb, which cause the Cu atoms to vibrate at a low frequency and high amplitude. The synthesis of tetrahedrite compounds by conventional melting methods requires a long-time reaction and annealing. However, a homogeneous and solid-state synthesis can be..... More

Abstract
Binder jetting additive manufacturing is one of the 3D printing technologies currently used to manufacture 3D geometries. In this process, a liquid binder agent is ejected to a desired position of a substrate. The binder’s properties and the jetting condition used for form droplets can affect the formability of the.....

Abstract
In this work, LiOH was synthesized using highly soluble Li₂SO₄. To enhance efficiency, this synthesis was performed using the precipitation method, and the correlation between each experimental condition and the synthesis of LiOH was investigated. The particle size and crystalline properties were tailored by controlling various experimental conditions, including the..... More
