Flash butt weld process parameters determine the weld quality. The presence of weld defects due to inappropriate process parameters leads to entrapment of oxides in the weld causes premature failure. It was also observed ...

Recent advances in the field of additive manufacturing offers significant flexibility in shaping and processing of materials. These techniques have been extensively studied for the manufacturing of entire component, typically ...

This study pertains to alkali leaching of a high surface area synthetic boehmite prepared by thermal decomposition of gibbsite. Synthesised boehmite particles are found to be agglomerates of platelets. These particles are ...

Metal tellurides are highly sought after for energy and spintronic applications much of which is owed to its catalytic and magnetic properties. Confining it into two-dimensions and improving the surface area enriches its ...

The present work reviews the different techniques that are currently being used in synthesis of metallic glasses viz. solid state, liquid state and vapor state processes. The advantages and disadvantages of each technique ...

Almost the entire metallurgical grade alumina is produced from bauxite using the Bayer process. The leaching conditions in Bayer process depend on various Al-oxyhydroxide minerals/phases present in the bauxite. Among the ...

Mechanically induced reactivity of gibbsite in an attrition mill is focused in this paper. Reactivity of milled gibbsite, assessed in terms of its dehydroxylation and dissolution in alkali solution, is found to increase ...

Hydrogen (H2) has attained significant benefits as an energy carrier due to its gross calorific value (GCV) and inherently clean operation. Thus, hydrogen as a fuel can lead to global sustainability. Conventional H2 ...

Background: Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) displayed strong activities in anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal studies and were reportedly efficient in treating otitis media. Information on distribution of AgNPs in ...
