Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue Lifetime Assessment of Spheroidal Cast Iron at Different Thermal Constraint Levels

Metals, 2019
In previous work on the thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) of compacted graphite iron (CGI), lifetimes measured under total constraint were confirmed analytically by numerical integration of Paris’ crack-growth law.

The Application of Hydrochar Composite Briquettes for Sustainable Slag Foaming in the Electric Arc Furnace Process

steel research international, EarlyView.
Hydrochar‐mill‐scale briquettes with varying C/O molar ratios (0.07–0.90) have been tested at 1650 °C to evaluate their slag foaming performance for electric arc furnace application. All seven briquette recipes developed succeed in promoting slag foaming.

The Influence of the Pretreatment of Tool Steel on the Running‐In Phase of Diamond‐Like Carbon Coatings

steel research international, EarlyView.
The influence of tool steel pretreatment on the running‐in behavior of TiNb‐diamond‐like carbon (DLC) coatings is investigated. Ion etching promotes carbide protrusion and increases coating roughness, while post‐deposition polishing reduces surface asperities.

Three-Dimensional Graphite Volume Partitioning in Compacted Graphite Iron Thermal Analysis Specimens with 0–0.30 wt.% 75FeSi Addition

Metals
Two-dimensional metallography cannot be used to determine how graphite volume is partitioned among three-dimensional connected structures in compacted graphite iron (CGI), even when the conventional graphite fractions are similar.

Toward Safer and Sustainable Lithium Metal Batteries: Fluorine‐Free Solid Polymer Electrolytes

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
An analysis to assess the impact of fluorine in polymer electrolyte‐based lithium metal batteries has been conducted. It has been demonstrated that fluorine‐free LiTIM salt delivers a electrochemical performance similar to that of its fluorinated analogue salts, given the complete lithium dissociation in coordination with PEO and the restricted anion ...
