Facial Cosmetic Therapy Use Among Patients With Systemic Sclerosis: An Australian Cohort Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is associated with numerous facial manifestations for which patients may engage in cosmetic therapies. It is unclear how patients with SSc use these therapies. This study sought to characterize patient engagement and experiences with cosmetic therapies for SSc‐related and non‐SSc–related facial changes.

Preemptive biofilm colonization blocks microbial metal corrosion

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Sustainable materials are needed to address the serious economic and safety risks of microbial metal corrosion. Colonizing metal surfaces with biofilms of noncorrosive microbes was previously shown to reduce aerobic, abiotic corrosion.

Microstructural Evolution and Vacancy Defect Formation in Mn–Mo–Ni RPV Steel Under Low Cycle Fatigue: Insights From EBSD and PALS

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Low‐cycle fatigue damage in Mn–Mo–Ni reactor pressure vessel steel is examined using a combined electron backscatter diffraction and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy approach. The study correlates texture evolution, dislocation substructure development, and vacancy‐type defect formation across uniform, necked, and fracture regions, providing

Thermomechanical Fatigue and Creep–Fatigue Interaction of Inconel 718 Additively Manufactured by Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Thermomechanical fatigue tests of laser beam powder bed fusion (PBF‐LB) Inconel 718 show that the additively manufactured material reaches almost the lifetimes of conventionally‐rolled material under no‐dwell conditions. Introducing dwell times at the maximum temperature markedly reduces the lifetimes due to pronounced grain boundary sliding associated

Quasi-in-situ observation: study on the evolution of the brass-texture in oriented silicon steel during the process of normalizing annealing

Journal of Materials Research and Technology
The presence of the brass texture ({110}) impairs the magnetic properties of oriented silicon steel. However, the mechanism governing the evolution of this texture during normalizing annealing remains unresolved.

Giant elastocaloric effect and exceptional mechanical properties in an all-d-metal Ni–Mn–Ti alloy: Experimental and ab-initio studies

Materials & Design, 2019
Exploring novel materials with superior elastocaloric effect (eCE) is a central issue for the development of eCE refrigeration technique. In this work, we report a giant adiabatic temperature change ΔTad of −20.4 K in the 〈100〉-textured all-d-metal ...
