Characteristics, properties and limitations of per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoropolymers

Polymer International, EarlyView.
An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

Tailoring Laser Powder Bed Fusion and Post‐Processing Parameters for JIS SKD61 Tool Steels: Surface Roughness, Microstructure, and Mechanical Properties

steel research international, EarlyView.
Laser powder bed fusion of JIS SKD61 tool steel is systematically optimized using a Taguchi design and ANOVA. Hatch spacing and layer thickness are identified as dominant parameters controlling surface roughness and tensile strength. Subsequent tempering at 600°C improves microstructural stability and mechanical performance, enabling high‐density SKD61

Multifaceted Behavior and Versatility Features of Ferritic Stainless Steels, Part II: Investigating Electromagnetic, Mechanical, and Corrosion Behavior

steel research international, EarlyView.
This review's second part details the mechanical, corrosion, and electromagnetic behaviors of FSSs. It integrates the foundational microstructure (texture/defects/precipitates) and processing effects from Part I to establish and analyze complex property–property interrelationships critical for high‐performance applications.

Effect of friction time on the mechanical properties of AA 6061-T6 continuous drive friction welded joints

Journal of Welding Technology
Continuous drive friction welding (CDFW) is a solid-state method used to join solid cylindrical metals. This process involves several key parameters that influence the strength of the connection, including friction time, friction pressure, and machine speed.

‘The White Hordes From the West’: Race and Refuge in Australian Media Commentary About White Rhodesians During Zimbabwe's Decolonisation

Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores Australian media commentary on white Rhodesians migrating to Australia, focusing on the period of Malcolm Fraser's prime ministership (1975–1983). The main argument is that the Australian media debates about whether to classify white Rhodesians as ‘migrants’ or ‘refugees’ were not merely semantic but reflected a deeper ...

Enhancing bending strength in continuous drive friction welding of PEEK polymer cylinders through the innovative progressively increased welding area method

Journal of Advanced Joining Processes
The continuous drive friction welding (CDFW) stands out for its low energy consumption within the welding realm. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) represents a high-performance engineering thermoplastic, falling under the polyaryletherketone family.

Axial and Biaxial Fatigue Behavior of 6061‐T651 Cold Metal Transfer Welded Joints

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lightweight aluminum structures in transportation systems are increasingly exposed to complex service loading, yet the fatigue performance of welded joints is still predominantly assessed using uniaxial data. In this work, the axial and biaxial fatigue behavior of 6061‐T651 aluminum alloy joints produced by cold metal transfer (CMT) welding is

The institutional paradox of a substantivist conception of the economy in public policy: Insights from public procurement for solidarity economy in Ecuador

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 871-900, September 2026.
Abstract Ecuador's 2008 Constitution advanced an ambitious substantive economic vision through Buen Vivir (Good Living), recognizing a plural economy which encompasses private, public and solidarity economy (SE) sectors. This paper aims to analyze public procurement programs in Ecuador, one of the flagship Buen Vivir policies for SE promotion.
