Abstract
Titanium alloys are used in many fields including military, aerospace, and biomedical because of their excellent specific strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. Recently, much research has been focused on addressing the disadvantages of conventional manufacturing methods, including reducing material and energy waste when manufacturing titanium alloy parts by additive manufacturing.....

Abstract
This study investigated the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-1Gd-1Y-1Zn (at.%) alloys containing designed amounts of Ce or La. The Mg₅(Gd,Zn) phase formed in the as-cast Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Ce/La alloys and disappeared after a homogenization treatment at 500°C for 24 h. The addition of Ce and La resulted in the formation of.....

Abstract
Electropulse-induced heating has attracted attention due to its high energy efficiency. However, the process gives rise to a nonlinear temperature variation, which is difficult to predict using a traditional physics model. As an alternative, this study employed machine-learning technology to predict such temperature variation for the first time. Mg alloy..... More

Abstract
The delayed cracking behavior of deep-drawn lean duplex stainless steel (LDSS) was investigated, and compared with that of conventional metastable austenitic stainless steels (MASS). Hydrogen charging was performed by electrochemical method, and the hydrogen-charged specimens were subjected to the slow-strain-rate test. Fractures occurred along the phase boundaries in the LDSS,..... More
