Abstract It is a privilege for me to write the brief perspective on transition of John B. Goodenough from Oxford University Texas at Austin (UT Austin). While most people will tend retire, transitioned UT age 64 in 1986 and has been making phenomenal contributions during past 35 years, with genuine passion science profound impact society large. To highlight few, include following: chemistry phy...

Although micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings are widely used for anti-wear protection of metals, they usually contain lots pores and exhibit high coefficient friction. In this work, porous MAO consisting Al2TiO5 were fabricated on the titanium substrate, then Ni-P Ni-P-polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) deposited via electroless plating to fill improve tribological performance. Electroless has wear ...

High-temperature titanium alloys are widely used in aerospace hot parts; however, the thermal barrier temperature of 600 °C limits its service temperature. In this paper, a two-step hot-dip plating method is proposed to prepare composite coating containing Ce on surface alloy, which can make oxidation resistance alloy reach 800 The microstructure, phase composition, and element distribution Ce-...

background: the entrance of toxic compounds into wastewater treatment plants (wwtps) can induce disorder in their biological units. therefore, it is necessary to determine the sources of toxic wastewaters. in this study, the toxicity of the wastewater of 3 metal plating industries was assessed using sequencing batch reactor (sbr) bacteria. methods: to obtain the 1-1000 ml/l concentrations, the ...
