Alloying Strategies for Secondary Hardening in High‐Boron Cold Work Tool Steels: A Comparative Study
steel research international, Volume 97, Issue 2, Page 731-743, February 2026.The influence of tungsten, vanadium, manganese, and silicon on the microstructure and tempering behavior of high boron tool steels is investigated. It is shown that tungsten contributes very little, whereas vanadium leads to tempering carbides, detected by atom probe tomography. Manganese and silicon enable solid solution strengthening. A high hardness

Effect of primer composition on zirconia surface properties and bond strength
European Journal of Oral Sciences, Volume 134, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract This study investigated the effects of different surface treatments on surface roughness, wettability, and shear bond strength of 3Y‐TZP (yttria‐stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal). A total of 180 specimens (6 × 6 × 2 mm) underwent sandblasting with 50 µm Al2O3 and were divided into six groups: (i) control (no treatment), (ii) 10‐MDP +

Evaluation of shear bond strength based on substructure materials and ceramic veneering techniques
Journal of Prosthodontics, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 160-168, February 2026.Abstract Purpose Bilayered restorations have both the strength of the substructure material and the esthetics of the veneer material; however, they should have appropriate bonding between the two materials. This study aimed to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) according to the substructure material and veneering technique used in bilayered ...

Experimental Analysis and Physics‐Based Analytical Model on Twisted and Coiled Artificial Muscles
Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 2, 21 January 2026.Twisted and coiled artificial muscles made from silver‐coated nylon fibers are investigated through experiments and analytical modeling. The actuators achieve contractions up to 19.3% and specific work of 8 kJ kg−1, though efficiency remains limited (≈0.15%) by thermal losses.
