Abstract
An explosively formed penetrator (EFP) is a kind of kinetic energy warhead that contains a metal linear structure. After exploding, the linear structure in the EFP is deformed and hits the target as a form of aero-stable long-rod penetrator. To achieve high penetration performance, Ta is commonly used as the.....

Abstract
In this study, the effects of rolling temperature on the microstructural characteristics of a highspeed-rolled Mg alloy with a non-basal texture were investigated. To this end, commercial AZ31 alloy samples in which the basal poles of most grains were tilted at an angle of 45° from the normal direction (ND)..... More

Abstract
Hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) behavior was analyzed for gas metal arc (GMA) and laser beam (LB) welds on American Petroleum Institute (API) X65 steel. The GMA welds consisted of acicular ferrite (AF) with some widmanstatten ferrite (WF), while the LB welds had bainitic ferrite (BF) with some AF. The welds and..... More

Abstract
Terbium and dysprosium are rare earth elements which are employed in the manufacture of advanced materials. Separating Tb(III) and Dy(III) is very complicated because their chemical properties are similar. In order to develop a separation process based on solvent extraction, extraction and scrubbing experiments were conducted using weak hydrochloric solutions..... More

Abstract
ZnO 50 nm/Ag 10 nm/SnO₂ 50 nm (ZAS) tri-layer films were deposited on a glass substrate by RF and DC magnetron sputtering and then underwent rapid thermal annealing in a low vacuum of 1×10^-3 Torr to investigate the effects of post-deposition annealing on the optical and electrical properties of the.....

Abstract
To decompose dye in aqueous solution, Pd nanoparticle-decorated TiO₂ nanotube photocatalysts were fabricated through electrochemical anodization and photoreduction processes. Morphological and surface characterization of the TiO₂/Pd heterojunction photocatalyst, as well as photoelectrochemical behaviors, were investigated by X-ray diffraction, UV/Vis diffuse reflectance and photocurrent response. It was found that the precipitated..... More

Abstract
To investigate the effect of anodic oxidation process parameters on TiO₂ nanotube formation in Ti-6Al-4V alloys, the composition of NH₄F and H₂O in the anodic oxidation processes were changed under the conditions of constant DC power ranging from 20 V to 60V and current density ranging from 10 mA to.....

Abstract
A Cu composite reinforced by a three-dimensionally interconnected graphene network was synthesized in situ by a simple two-step process utilizing compacted Cu powder (99% purity) as a template for the growth of graphene. Cu composites with different graphene contents were obtained by controlling the processing parameters. The composites were approximated..... More

Abstract
We investigated the effects of materials and the film thickness of hole transport layers (HTLs) on inverted type perovskite solar cells using optics-charge transport coupled simulations. Power conversion efficiencies (PCEs), and the variations in efficiency induced by the film thickness dispersion, were intensively studied, to compare potential HTLs candidates like..... More

Abstract
The repairing parts were fabricated by PBF (powder bed fusion) using direct energy deposition (DED), interfacial cracks can occur at the interface between the substrate and the area to be repaired. Such interfacial defects are due to the thermal stress induced by the temperature gradient which results from repeated melting..... More
