Simulation of Inhomogeneous Refractive Index Fields Induced by Hot Tailored Forming Components
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This article presents a simulation model for simulating inhomogeneous refractive index fields (IRIF) in hot‐forged components, accounting for thermal influences and complex geometries. Through this simulation, a priori knowledge about the propagation of the IRIF can be obtained, allowing for the positioning of the component or an optical measurement ...

A Different Perspective on the Solid Lubrication Performance of Black Phosphorous: Friend or Foe?
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Researchers investigate black phosphorous (BP) as a standalone solid lubricant coating through ball‐on‐disc linear‐reciprocating sliding experiments in dry conditions. Testing on different metals shows BP doesn't universally reduce friction and wear. However, it achieves 33% friction reduction on rougher iron surfaces and 23% wear reduction on aluminum.
