Effects of heat treatments on the microstructure and tensile properties of IN738 superalloy with high carbon content fabricated via laser powder bed fusion (2023)
Journal Article
Zhou, W., Tian, Y., Wei, D., Tan, Q., Kong, D., Luo, H., Huang, W., Zhu, G., Shu, D., Mi, J., & Sun, B. (2023). Effects of heat treatments on the microstructure and tensile properties of IN738 superalloy with high carbon content fabricated via laser powder bed fusion. Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 953, Article 170110. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jallcom.2023.170110

Heat treatment is a key process governing the final microstructure and mechanical properties of precipitation-hardened superalloys. However, traditional heat treatments are typically designed for cast or wrought superalloys. Therefore, this study inv...

ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering, 11(1), 58-66. https://doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.2c03594

Achieving a sustainable production of pristine high-quality graphene and other layered materials at a low cost is one of the bottlenecks that needs to be overcome for reaching 2D material applications at a large scale. Liquid phase exfoliation in con... Read More about Direct Evidence of the Exfoliation Efficiency and Graphene Dispersibility of Green Solvents toward Sustainable Graphene Production.

Design of newly effective grain refiner for aluminum based on medium-entropy metal diboride (2022)
Journal Article
Xiao, F., Wu, M., Wang, Y., Wang, S., Shu, D., Wang, D., Zhu, G., Mi, J., & Sun, B. (2022). Design of newly effective grain refiner for aluminum based on medium-entropy metal diboride. Vacuum, 205, Article 111462. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vacuum.2022.111462

In this paper, medium-entropy metal diboride (Ti1/3Cr1/3V1/3)B2 with a hexagonal TiB2-type crystal structure were synthesized via molten salt reaction, and its effect on refining pure aluminum grains was investigated. Compared with TiB2, the minimum... Read More about Design of newly effective grain refiner for aluminum based on medium-entropy metal diboride.
