Microstructure Formation and Dry Reciprocating Sliding Wear Response of High-Entropy Hypereutectic White Cast Irons by Willian Martins Pasini, Wojciech Polkowski, Tomasz Dudziak, Carlos Alexandre dos Santos, Vinicius Karlinski de Barcellos

“…The wear behavior of the developed alloys is evaluated through reciprocating sliding wear tests, revealing the impact of varying chemical compositions on wear resistance. The results demonstrate that high-entropy white cast iron (HEWCI), particularly those enriched with carbide-forming elements, exhibit superior abrasion resistance compared to conventional high-chromium cast irons. …”

4-Aminoquinoline as a privileged scaffold for the design of leishmanicidal agents: structure–property relationships and key biological targets by Angel H. Romero, Francisco Delgado

“…All these aspects demand the identification and development of new, safe, and effective chemical systems, which must not only be focused on medicinal chemistry and pharmacological aspects but also consider key aspects relative to parasite survival.In this sense, the quinolines and, in particular, 4-aminoquinoline, represent a privileged scaffold for the design of potential leishmanicidal candidates due not only to their versatility to generate highly active and selective compounds but also to their correlation with well-defined biological targets. …”

Direct TiH2 powder production by the reduction of TiO2 using Mg in Ar and H2 mixed gas atmosphere by Sung-Hun Park, Junoh Oh, Youngju Song, Hyeong-Jun Jeoung, Jungshin Kang

“…Abstract To develop a direct production process for TiH2 powder from TiO2, the reduction of TiO2 using Mg in molten MgCl2 – KCl salt under a high hydrogen chemical potential was investigated. The reduction of nano-sized TiO2 powder was conducted at 973 – 1073 K under an Ar or Ar and 10% H2 mixed gas atmosphere when the mass ratios of Mg to feed and salt to feed were 1.14 – 2.86 and 0.87 – 3.48, respectively. …”
