Abstract
The microstructure, tensile properties at room and elevated temperatures, and high-cycle fatigue behavior of an extruded Mg-7Sn-1Al-1Zn (TAZ711) alloy were investigated in comparison with those of an Mg-8Al-0.5Zn (AZ80) alloy extruded under the same conditions. The extruded AZ80 alloy exhibited a fully recrystallized structure, whereas the extruded TAZ711 alloy had..... More

Abstract
For proper maintenance and inspection scheduling of aircraft, it is extremely important to measure the resistance to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of aluminum alloys used for aircraft structures. The SCC resistances of high-strength 7xxx-series aluminum alloys, including 7050-T7451, 7475-T7351 and 7140-T7451, were evaluated along longitudinal (L) and transverse (T)..... More

Abstract
In this work, we studied the formation of partially stabilized zirconia by a high energy ball milling (HEBM) approach. Zirconia powder was mixed with 8 mol% MgO and the powder mixture was milled for 10 hours. The structural and morphological evolutions of the powder particles were studied using X-ray diffraction.....

Abstract
This study investigated the microstructure and room temperature mechanical properties of W-7Ni-3Fe (wt%) tungsten heavy alloy (as-fabricated) which was manufactured by metal injection molding (MIM). To identify the effect of heat treatment on the W-7Ni-3Fe alloy, its properties were compared after heattreatment (1,100 oC for 1 hour) in vacuum atmosphere...... More

Abstract
The microstructure, texture evolution, and room temperature formability of warm-rolled and coldrolled AZ31 magnesium sheets were investigated in this study. The localized deformation regions, i.e., shear bands, formed during warm-rolling and cold-rolling mainly provide nucleation sites for recrystallization, but the orientation of the recrystallized grains nucleated on the shear bands.....

Abstract
The CMSX-4 superalloy including refractory elements was directionally solidified using the seed of a [001] single crystal to control the growth direction to [001], where solidification velocity was changed from 25 to 160 μm/s. In the log-log plot between spacing and solidification velocity, the primary dendrite arm spacing and secondary..... More

Abstract
This study was conducted to obtain engineering design data for a process to recover lithium in the form of Li₃PO₄ from the waste water of a lithium ion battery (LIB) recycling process. The influence of temperature, pH, and concentration on the solubility of Li₃PO₄ and the reaction rate in the..... More

Abstract
The present paper deals with liquid-liquid extraction studies and the possible separation of light rare earths (LREs) from chloride solutions. Aromatic diluents such as benzene, toluene and xylene were tested for LREs extraction and possible separation from chloride solutions. Bis(2,4,4-triethylpentyl)phosphinic acid (trade name Cyanex^® 272) was used as an extractant..... More

Abstract
Partially La/Pr-double-filled and Co-substituted (La_1−zPr_z)_0.8Fe_4−xCo_xSb₁₂ skutterudites were synthesized by encapsulated melting and vacuum hot pressing. (La,Pr)Sb₂ phases were not formed because the partial filling did not exceed the filling fraction limit, and the amount of secondary phase FeSb₂ also decreased as the Co content increased. Electrical conductivity decreased with increasing..... More
