Influence of Cooling Rate on Primary Silicon Size in Hypereutectic Al–Si Alloy Fabricated by Laser Powder Bed Fusion

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 27, Issue 14, July 2025.
Al–Si alloys are particularly in demand for automotive and electronic applications, thanks to their excellent wear and thermal properties. Nevertheless, when processed by conventional methods with low cooling rates, the coarse primary Si phases are responsible for increasing brittleness and inducing crack propagation.

Regression analysis of material properties and hardness of dense boron carbide

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, Volume 22, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Abstract Material properties directly affect the final performance of the produced articles. This study aims to establish a correlation between materials properties and hardness of boron carbide samples. Ten different boron carbide powders were sintered to high densities by spark plasma sintering, and material properties (grain size, density ...

Natural and Artificial Aging Methods For Silver Mock‐ups In Recent Conservation And Heritage Studies: A Short Review

open access: yesChemistry–Methods, Volume 5, Issue 5, May 2025.
We discuss the tarnishing issues of historical silver objects and review the silver (pure and sterling) aging methods employed in recent conservation and heritage studies, with a focus on chemical aging methods. The aging protocols used in the reference studies are tabulated for quick comparisons.
