Abstract
Ni-Cr-Mo-V steel alloys for high-speed railway brake discs were prepared to investigate the effect of alloying element contents on the microstructure and mechanical properties. The Cr, Mo, Mn alloying elements were incorporated into the steel alloys, which contained low carbon content in the range 0.16 wt.% ~ 0.21 wt.% to..... More

Abstract
The surface characteristics of a dental implant doped with Si, Mg, Ca, and P ions via plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) were investigated using various experimental instruments. Plasma electrolytic oxidation of the alloy was performed in a solution containing Ca, P, Si, and Mg ions at 280 V for 3 min...... More

Abstract
In this study, the liquation cracking susceptibility in the heat-affected zone of CM247LC superalloy gas turbine blades during repair welding was quantitatively evaluated using a newly developed pre-weld Varestraint test method. The repair welding geometry was replicated through Varestraint tests for the pre-weld bead. The liquation cracking susceptibility, that is,..... More

Abstract
The Ti-6Al-4V alloy has been widely used for structural materials due to high specific strength property, however it is difficult to cast because of high reactivity at high temperature. In this study casting characteristics and post-casting heat treatment were studied in the cast Ti alloy. The cast alloy was prepared..... More

Abstract
The recovery of valuable metals such as cobalt, nickel, and lithium from spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has attracted much attention. In this study, a hydrometallurgical process for the recovery of high-purity lithium compounds like Li₂CO₃ and Li₃PO₄ from dust containing Li, Co, Ni, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Si produced during..... More

Abstract
Currently, the need for high performance heaters for industrial application is increasing, and repeated wear, rapid temperature change, and uneven temperature can cause deteriorating quality and reduced productivity. The ceramic heater in this study consists of a substrate, an electrode layer, and a protective layer, and low-melting temperature glass frit..... More

Abstract
Vacuum-processed oxide semiconductors have enabled incredible recent advances in the scientific research of metal oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) and their introduction in commercial displays. Developing metal oxide transistors with low processing temperatures, on the other hand, remains a challenge. Metal oxide transistors are commonly produced at high processing temperatures (over.....

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the phase formation behavior of the FeSe₂-FeTe₂ system and the evolution of their thermoelectric transport properties. A series of Fe(Se_1-xTe_x)₂(x = 0, 0.2, 0.6, 0.8 and 1) compounds were synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction. Single phase orthorhombic structures were formed, except for FeSe_0.4Te_1.6(x = 0.2)...... More

Abstract
3D printing technology has advanced rapidly over the last decade. However, for ceramic materials, drying and sintering steps are required after printing, and excessive shrinkage that occurs during these steps is a major factor that has hindered the development of the ceramic 3D printing technology. In this study, a non-sintering..... More

Abstract
The effect of Cu content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-8.0Zn-2.5Mg-xCu (x: 0, 1, 2, 3) aluminum alloys manufactured by the twin-roll casting process was investigated. The Al-8.0Zn-2.5Mg-xCu alloy showed an increase in surface defects with increasing Cu content. This is because the amount of residual liquid in..... More
