Abstract
Hot stamping technology has been steadily developed because it provides both excellent formability and high strength. With the development of TWB hot stamping technology, it is now possible to freely apply the required strength and thickness in the right place. In this study, the microstructure and collision performance of TWB..... More

Abstract
The strain aging and hydrogen embrittlement behavior of two bake hardening (BH) steels with different microstructures were investigated in this study. The single-phase BH steel was composed of fully ferrite, while the dual-phase BH steel consisted of ferrite and 3 % martensite. The BH index and aging index (AI) of..... More

Abstract
The direct energy deposition (DED) method is an emerging manufacturing technique that has been recently highlighted due to its capabilities to coat materials with complex geometry for high temperature and highly corrosive environmental applications, such as steam turbine blade. Amongst metallic materials, SS304L has been reported to have superior corrosion..... More

Abstract
To rapidly sinter a bondline and obtain mechanical stability at high temperature and high thermal conductivity, 1.5 μm Ag particles with enhanced surface area were synthesized by a wet-chemical method, and a sinter-bonding paste containing these Ag particles was obtained. Some particles were present in the form of agglomerates of..... More

Abstract
A small amount of Pd(II) present in spent electroplating solutions is concentrated by cementation. In this work, a process was developed to recover pure palladium metal by selective reduction from the hydrochloric and the sulfuric acid leaching solutions of cemented zinc. For this purpose, hydrazine and ascorbic acid were employed..... More

Abstract
In this study, single-crystalline methylammonium lead tribromide (MAPbBr₃, CH₃NH₃PbBr₃) flakes with a higher theoretical specific capacity than methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI₃, CH₃NH₃PbI₃), the prototype of organic/inorganic hybrid perovskite, were synthesized by the inverse temperature crystallization method. The combination of the additive-free electrophoretic deposition (EPD) system and the single crystal fabrication..... More

Abstract
In an effort to minimize irreversible capacity loss and volume expansion, research on Si nanocomposite materials with a SiO_x/Mg₂SiO₄/SiO_x structure through a magnesiothermic reduction process (MTR) has attracted much attention from researchers. Mg₂SiO₄(forsterite) has been shown to improve the initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) by minimizing the irreversible capacity loss due..... More

Abstract
NbFeSb-based alloys are promising p-type half-Heusler materials with excellent thermoelectric performance, thermal stability, and naturally abundant constituent elements. Alloying and doping are powerful techniques for enhancing the thermoelectric properties of half-Heusler materials. This study experimentally investigated the effects of V alloying in NbFeSb codoped with Ti, Zr, and Sn. As..... More

Abstract
A gas turbine (GT) blade is a key hot-pass component for advanced GT engines, and should have stable properties under extreme conditions of 1,350°C and 3,600rpm, etc. The GT blade, after operating with nearly 800 equivalent start-stops (ES) or 24,000 equivalent operation hours (EOH), should be replaced due to degradation.....
