Abstract
The corrosion and erosion-corrosion behaviors in the weld heat-affected zone (HAZ) of Hadfield steels with varying Cr contents (1, 2, and 3 wt%) were examined. Various experimental methods, including electrochemical polarization, impedance, and weight loss measurements, were utilized. Two types of isothermal heat treatments were conducted in a box furnace..... More

Abstract
This study examined the effects of minor alloying elements (Cr and Mo) on the corrosion behaviors of API grade steel in CO₂-saturated near-neutral aqueous solutions. Various experimental and analytical methods were applied to gain insights into the underlying CO₂ corrosion mechanism of the steels. The findings revealed that steel with..... More

Abstract
In this study, a composition-gradient thin film was applied for the formation of intermediate layer of Ti seed layer for an stable electrode stack Ag metal layer. Various composition of Ag-Ti hetero metal layer were simultaneously deposited by using the sputtering process with Ti and Ag target, respectively. An intermediate..... More

Abstract
SnTe has drawn much attention due to its Pb-free composition along with tunable electronic and lattice structures. However, its intrinsically high defect concentration and high lattice thermal conductivity (κ₁) have hindered its application in devices. Recently, Bi doping at Sn-sites in Sn_1-xBi_xTe (x = 0.0 – 0.08) has been demonstrated..... More

Abstract
ZnMn₂O₄ (ZMO) cathode possesses a high theoretical capacity of 224 mAh g^-1 and high operating voltage (1.9 V vs. Zn²⁺/Zn) for aqueous Zn–ion batteries. However, the disproportionation reaction of Mn³⁺ leads to Mn dissolution in the ZMO cathode, deteriorating lifespan. In this study, we attempted to reduce Mn dissolution by..... More

Abstract
WC-Co cemented carbide has excellent mechanical properties and is widely used in many industrial applications including cold forging dies and cutting tools. The tensile and fatigue properties of WC-20wt%Co cemented carbides with microstructural variations were investigated. Microstructure parameters such as Co binder content, WC particle size, binder mean free path,..... More

Abstract
The friction properties of brake friction materials are investigated utilizing the different car cleaners. Water, wheel cleaner and tire dressing were used to designate driving conditions in the field. The friction materials were soaked in each solution before friction test. The Coefficient of friction (COF) was similar in the case..... More

Abstract
This study analyzed a recrystallization phenomenon that occurred simultaneously with hightemperature oxidation on the surface of a directionally solidified CM247LC creep specimen, using optical and scanning electron microscopy. After heat treatment, the surface of the specimen subjected to the creep test at 982oC was oxidized by exposure to high temperature..... More

Abstract
The phenomenon of mechanoluminescence (ML) refers to the emission of light induced by mechanical stimulation applied to mechano-optical materials for example SrAl₂O₃:Eu,Dy (SAO). Numerous technologies on the basis of ML have been presented to visualize the stress or strain in various structures for the applications including structural health monitoring. As..... More
