Precipitation strengthening is a highly complex phenomenon on the nanoscale, responsible
for providing strength in Al-Cu, Al-Mg-Cu, Al-Mg-Zn and Al-Mg-Si alloys. Advances in …

Photocatalytic CO2 reduction into ideal hydrocarbon fuels, such as CH4, is a sluggish kinetic
process involving adsorption of multiple intermediates and multi‐electron steps. Achieving …

Most metallurgical properties, eg, dislocation propagation, precipitate formation, can only be
fully understood atomistically but most phenomena and quantities of interest cannot be …

Fretting occurs at two contact bodies, which sustain oscillation loading. The fretting
phenomenon decreases the fatigue lifetime dramatically. Shot peening is a commonly used …

Improvements in energy efficiency, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and 3R (reduce,
reuse and recycle) have been one of the central topics in recent years in environment and …

The 2024 aluminum alloy has excellent mechanical and low corrosion due to the existence
of the high Cu levels, which shortens its service life. In this paper, we have systematically …

Combining first-principles accuracy and empirical-potential efficiency for the description of
the potential energy surface (PES) is the philosopher's stone for unraveling the nature of …

High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and first-principles energy calculations
reveal that, upon formation, the hardening precipitates in Cu–Ni–Si alloys are unchanged δ …

Fretting fatigue has a wide range of applications in many fields, which have high
requirements for accurate prediction of their lifetime. In this paper, the theory of critical …
