In the present work, a novel Ni-Cu composite interlayer was prepared on the surface of A356
aluminum alloy solid insert using the chemical nickel-plating and electro-coppering …

The development of a reliable multicomponent thermodynamic database for high entropy
alloys (HEAs) is a daunting task and it faces new challenges comparing to the development …

Cermets are composites of a TiCN hard phase and a metal binder, typically a mixture of Co
and Ni. They offer excellent combinations of hardness and fracture toughness as well as …

Recent advances in high-pressure techniques offer chemists access to vast regions of
uncharted synthetic phase space, expanding our experimental reach to pressures …

The molten salt-cooled reactor concept has garnered significant interest and one of the
current challenges limiting the deployment of these reactor concepts is the complex …

In order to replace toxic Cu–Pb bearing alloy, a novel strategy to design and produce new
environment-friendly Cu–Bi bearing alloy was proposed with the guidance of …

Herein, we present the discovery of a new high-pressure phase in the Ni–Bi system, β-NiBi,
which crystallizes in the TlI structure type. The powerful technique of in situ high-pressure …

A novel self-lubricating Cu–12Sn-xBi-2Ni alloy was developed and the effect of Bi on
microstructure and properties of Cu–12Sn-xBi-2Ni was investigated. The formation reason of …

Abstract The Bi–Ni system was reassessed by means of the calculation of phase diagrams
(CALPHAD) method by considering the latest published experimental data. To maintain the …

Electroplating has been used to produce Cu–Bi coatings. The crystal structure and lattice
parameters of Cu in Cu–Bi composite coating were measured and compared with Cu …
