Single-use aluminum foil-based laser desorption/ionization (LDI) target plates have been developed for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis and provide detection results comparable to those of commercial stainless steel plates while offering a convenient way to avoid the time-consuming surface cleaning process. Additionally, arrays of TiO(2) nanoparticle spots are coated on the foil either by screen...

Electrodeposited aluminum films and template-synthesized aluminum nanorods are examined as negative electrodes for lithium-ion batteries. The lithium-aluminum alloying reaction is observed electrochemically with cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic cycling in lithium half-cells. The electrodeposition reaction is shown to have high faradaic efficiency, and electrodeposited aluminum films reach t...

Compound casting is a process in which single component made from two metallic materials, such as aluminum and steel. Solid-liquid bimetallic compounds can be produced by suitable control. This technology reduce the number of joining processes, specific properties respective metal used for specifically designed product properties, example, where lightweight high strength are needed. paper prese...

Steel ball indentation and scratch adhesion testing of hot filament chemical vapour deposited diamond films onto AISI type 316 austenitic stainless steel substrates using two different interlayer systems, namely chromium nitride and borided steel, have been investigated. In order to compare the adhesion of these films with that of a well-known and strongly adherent system, detailed adhesion tes...

Abstract The present study focuses on the Preparation of Aluminum Oxide, and Copper oxide antifouling coatings to prevent or reduce corrosion fouling in ships marine vehicles. Al 2 O 3 CuO nanoparticles were prepared using ball milling process. nano paints these as pigment linseed alkyd resin a binder. Mild-steel specimens coated with paint immersed seawater for 120 days properties studied Scan...

Abstract Obtaining a strong bond between aluminum and steel is challenging due to poor wettability melt brittle intermetallic phases forming in the interface. In this research, novel coating method, namely hot dipping of Sn, has been developed treat insert surfaces. Results show that without preheating mold or Sn-coated insert, thin, crack-free, continuous metallurgical bonding layer was achiev...

Demand response has gained significant attention in recent years as it demonstrates potentials to enhance the power system’s operational flexibility in a cost-effective way. Industrial loads such as aluminum smelters, steel manufacturers, cement plants, and air separation units demonstrate advantages in supporting power system operation through demand response programs, because of their intensi...

Enhanced diffusion of aluminum in shock activated beryllium has been observed. Cylindrical samples of aluminum coated beryllium rods were axisymetrically loaded up to 40 Gpa and a total residual strain of up to 6.74. The defect microstructure produced by both the shock wave and strain enabled the transport of aluminum in beryll~um to exceed its equilibrium solid state saturation. This "super sa...
