of vehicles like camshaft bushing, suspensions, shock absorber, gears and strut bushes for anti-wear, anti-friction and for bearings high tensile loads. This research presents a comprehensive study on the development of Aluminum bronze bushing sleeves using horizontal centrifugal casting method. The effect of centrifugal casting parameters i.e. molds rotation speed, melt temperature, alloy composition and heat treatment optimizes mechanical properties and also microstructure of developed bushing sleeves. These bushing sleeves with desired composition have been developed by using induction furnace to reduce its import and to save foreign exchange. Different samples were casted by using horizontal centrifugal casting machine by varying parameters like rotation speed of mold and pouring temperature of melt in order to get good quality bushing sleeve. The addition of trace elements like Manganese, Iron, nickel and Zinc optimize the mechanical properties of bushing sleeves for particular application in elevating and depressing mechanism of heavy vehicles. The developed material was characterized by using different characterization techniques like Spectroscopy (OES), wet analysis, mechanical testing, optical microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). </div> <div> <a data-readmore="{ block: '#abstractTextBlock610318', lines: 2, expandText: '...more', collapseText: '...less' }"></a> </div> <div class="page-number semibold-large-text"> 3 </div> </div> <div class="item-block"> <div class="item-link"> <a href="/MSF.1132.13">Research on the Cavitation Resistance Testing of Friction Stir Welded Joint of Cu99 Cooper</a> </div> <div class="item-link volume-authors"> <div class="semibold-middle-text"> Authors: Cristian-Vladimir Besalic, Alexandru Nicolae Luca, Gabriela-Victoria Mnerie, Lia-Nicoleta Botila, Cristan Ghera, Rodica Bădărău </div> </div> <div id="abstractTextBlock607416" class="volume-info volume-info-text volume-info-description"> Abstract: In many different industries, cavitation-induced erosion and damage to engineering parts have been a major problem. This is especially true when it comes to fluid systems. Modern materials and welding methods are always being researched to improve the components' resistance to cavitation damage as a way to address this problem. This study examines the cavitation resistance of friction stir welded joints made of high-purity copper alloy Cu99, which has promising mechanical qualities. The project entails the creation of friction stir welded joints made of Cu99 copper, followed by extensive testing to see how well they resist erosion caused by cavitation. A cavitation testing device is used for the testing, simulating the circumstances that can cause cavitation damage to fluid systems in the actual world. The cavitation intensity, exposure time, and temperature changes are the relevant parameters. The performance and longevity of the friction stir welded joints under cavitation conditions are assessed using the experimental results. Investigations are conducted into the effect of post-weld heat treatment, grain boundary features, and microstructural changes in improving cavitation resistance. The goal of the study is to offer important new information on friction stir welding's potential as a method for raising the cavitation resistance of Cu99 copper components. </div> <div> <a data-readmore="{ block: '#abstractTextBlock607416', lines: 2, expandText: '...more', collapseText: '...less' }"></a> </div> <div class="page-number semibold-large-text"> 13 </div> </div> <div class="item-block"> <div class="item-link"> <a href="/MSF.1132.21">Considerations on the Behaviour and Resistance of Aluminium Alloys to Cavitation Erosion</a> </div> <div class="item-link volume-authors"> <div class="semibold-middle-text"> Authors: Ilare Bordeasu, Alexandru Nicolae Luca, Cristan Ghera, Cornelia Laura Salcianu, Daniel Ostoia, Lavinia Madalina Micu </div> </div> <div id="abstractTextBlock607485" class="volume-info volume-info-text volume-info-description"> Abstract: Aluminum alloys are known for their wide application in the automotive, river and marine boat constructions, but also in hydraulic systems (radiators/oil coolers). Their use is made by manufacturing parts directly from the semi-finished state, with or without certain volumetric heat treatments and surface hardening, depending on the functional role and the physical-mechanical characteristics pursued. Some of these parts work in hydrodynamic conditions, where cavitation manifests itself through erosion, such as: propellers of boats and barges, pump rotors in water cooling systems of automobiles. Visual analyzes performed on sailboat and powerboat propellers, after identical durations and operating conditions, showed cavitation erosion damage, different depending on the type of aluminum alloy. As a result, the paper presents and analyzes the behavior and resistance to erosion by vibratory cavitation of 4 types of aluminum alloys in the state of rolled semi-finished products. To highlight the differences in the destruction of structures under the cyclic stresses of cavitational microjets, macro and microscopic images of the eroded structure are used, as well as the curves with the values of the parameters specific to cavitation, recommended by the ASTM G32 -2016 norms and used in the research laboratory's custom. The analysis of the results shows that the resistance of the structure to cavitation erosion is dependent on the type of alloy, the degree of brittle intermetallic compounds and the mechanical properties specific to toughness. </div> <div> <a data-readmore="{ block: '#abstractTextBlock607485', lines: 2, expandText: '...more', collapseText: '...less' }"></a> </div> <div class="page-number semibold-large-text"> 21 </div> </div> <div class="item-block"> <div class="item-link"> <a href="/MSF.1132.35">Structure and Properties of AlCrCo<sub>(1-x)</sub>Fe<sub>(1+x)</sub>Ni<sub>2</sub> High Entropy Alloy</a> </div> <div class="item-link volume-authors"> <div class="semibold-middle-text"> Authors: Syed Zameer Abbas, Rashid Ali Sandhu, Fazal Ahmad Khalid </div> </div> <div id="abstractTextBlock609099" class="volume-info volume-info-text volume-info-description"> Abstract: High entropy alloys possess excellent properties and a great deal of research is being carried out on them.

This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the challenges associated with the welding of Ti alloys to Ni alloys and explore welding techniques, especially Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding, Laser beam welding, Laser-Arc hybrid welding and friction stir welding processes employed in this context. The challenges primarily involve the formation of brittle intermetallic phases, which can compromise joint quality. Additionally, issues such as thermal distortion, oxidation, and corrosion resistance further complicate the welding process. The paper also highlights recent advancements and innovations in dissimilar welding, such as the use of hybrid welding processes and advanced filler materials, to address the challenges and enhance joint performance. The knowledge shared in this review can guide future research and developmental efforts aimed at improving welding techniques, joint quality, and overall performance of Ti to Ni alloys welds. </div> <div> <a data-readmore="{ block: '#abstractTextBlock607588', lines: 2, expandText: '...more', collapseText: '...less' }"></a> </div> <div class="page-number semibold-large-text"> 49 </div> </div> <div class="item-block"> <div class="item-link"> <a href="/MSF.1132.63">Investigation of the Influence of Bonding Parameters on the Homogenous Diffusion Bonding of Copper</a> </div> <div class="item-link volume-authors"> <div class="semibold-middle-text"> Authors: Salman Khan, Khadija Khadija, Massab Junaid </div> </div> <div id="abstractTextBlock614645" class="volume-info volume-info-text volume-info-description"> Abstract: Solid-state diffusion bonding (DB) of Copper-Copper (Cu/Cu) was carried out under varying bonding parameters (time and temperature) in argon shielding gas environment. Initially, the bonding was performed at bonding temperatures of 800, 850, and 900 °C for 60 minutes. Secondly, the bonding was carried out at holding times of 90, 120, and 150 minutes at 900 °C. The microstructural and mechanical properties of the bonding interface were evaluated via lap shear and micro hardness tests, X-ray diffraction, and Optical microscopy. It was found that the optimal bonding parameters for the joint interface was 950 °C for 150 minutes, resulting in maximum shear strength of 133 MPa. The X-ray diffraction also shows the formation of solid solution of Cu without the formation of any intermetallic compounds (IMC). The micro hardness test revealed a maximum hardness of 89 HV at the joint interface. Optical microscopy shows the formation of voids at the joint interface take place due to the Kirkendall effect, which increased with higher temperatures for longer time, and cause a wide diffusion-affected zone (DAZ). </div> <div> <a data-readmore="{ block: '#abstractTextBlock614645', lines: 2, expandText: '...more', collapseText: '...less' }"></a> </div> <div class="page-number semibold-large-text"> 63 </div> </div> <div class="item-block"> <div class="item-link"> <a href="/MSF.1132.73">Self-Assembled Hierarchical Bi<sub>2</sub>WO<sub>6</sub> Microspheres for Effective Photocatalytic Cr(VI) Reduction and H<sub>2</sub> Evolution</a> </div> <div class="item-link volume-authors"> <div class="semibold-middle-text"> Authors: Jin Chung Sin, Jin Han Tan, Sze Mun Lam, Hong Hu Zeng </div> </div> <div id="abstractTextBlock615395" class="volume-info volume-info-text volume-info-description"> Abstract: Self-assembled hierarchical Bi<sub>2</sub>WO<sub>6</sub> microsphere was synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method.

The impact of varying PEGMA/NR ratios (100/0 to 0/100) was investigated. SEM images displayed a porous and uniform structure with interconnected pores of different sizes. FTIR analysis confirmed the formation of a semi-IPN structure, showcasing functional groups in both NR and PEGMA. Adsorption studies revealed the hydrogel's efficacy in MB dye removal, achieving a maximum adsorption capacity of 6536 mg/g at a PEGMA/NR ratio of 90/10. UV-vis spectroscopy validated the reduction in MB concentration post-exposure to the hydrogel. These findings highlight the cationic ionic nature of the PEGMA/NR semi-IPN elastomeric hydrogel as a promising adsorbent for MB dye removal in wastewater applications, particularly in industrial wastewater treatment. </div> <div> <a data-readmore="{ block: '#abstractTextBlock611802', lines: 2, expandText: '...more', collapseText: '...less' }"></a> </div> <div class="page-number semibold-large-text"> 79 </div> </div> <div class="block-bottom-pagination"> <div class="pager-info"> <p>Showing 1 to 10 of 14 Paper Titles</p> </div> <div class="pagination-container"><ul class="pagination"><li class="active"><span>1</span></li><li><a href="/MSF.1132/2">2</a></li><li class="PagedList-skipToNext"><a href="/MSF.1132/2" rel="next">></a></li></ul></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="social-icon-popup"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Scientific.Net.Ltd/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Scientific.Net"><i class="inline-icon facebook-popup-icon social-icon"></i></a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Scientific_Net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Scientific.Net"><i class="inline-icon twitter-popup-icon social-icon"></i></a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/scientificnet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Scientific.Net"><i class="inline-icon linkedin-popup-icon social-icon"></i></a> </div> </div> <div class="sc-footer"> <div class="footer-fluid"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="footer-menu col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12"> <ul class="list-inline menu-font"> <li><a href="/ForLibraries">For Libraries</a></li> <li><a href="/ForPublication/Paper">For Publication</a></li> <li><a href="/insights" target="_blank">Insights</a></li> <li><a href="/DocuCenter">Downloads</a></li> <li><a href="/Home/AboutUs">About Us</a></li> <li><a href="/PolicyAndEthics/PublishingPolicies">Policy & Ethics</a></li> <li><a href="/Home/Contacts">Contact Us</a></li> <li><a href="/Home/Imprint">Imprint</a></li> <li><a href="/Home/PrivacyPolicy">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="/Home/Sitemap">Sitemap</a></li> <li><a href="/Conferences">All Conferences</a></li> <li><a href="/special-issues">All Special Issues</a></li> <li><a href="/news/all">All News</a></li> <li><a href="/open-access-partners">Open Access Partners</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="line-footer"></div> <div class="footer-fluid"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-xs-12"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Scientific.Net.Ltd/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Scientific.Net"><i class="inline-icon facebook-footer-icon social-icon"></i></a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Scientific_Net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Scientific.Net"><i class="inline-icon twitter-footer-icon social-icon"></i></a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/scientificnet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Scientific.Net"><i class="inline-icon linkedin-footer-icon social-icon"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="line-footer"></div> <div class="footer-fluid"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-xs-12 footer-copyright"> <p> © 2025 Trans Tech Publications Ltd.
