High Energy Density Welding of Ni-Based Superalloys: An Overview by Riccardo Donnini, Alessandra Varone, Alessandra Palombi, Saveria Spiller, Paolo Ferro, Giuliano Angella

“…The use of these welding technologies can be decisive in the employment of sophisticated alloys such as Ni-based superalloys, which are notoriously excellent candidates for industrial components subjected to high temperatures and corrosive work conditions. Nonetheless, the peculiar crystallographic and chemical complexity of Ni-based superalloys (whether characterized by polycrystalline, directionally solidified, or single-crystal microstructure) leads to high susceptibility to welding processes and, in general, challenging issues related to the microstructural features of the welded joints. …”

Future Extreme Climate Events Threaten Alpine and Subalpine Woody Plants in China by Yongru Wu, Jian Shen, David C. Deane, Haibin Yu, Fangyuan Yu, Xuerong Wang, Zheng Cao, Rong Yu, Fuan Xiao, Tiejun Wang, Zhifeng Wu

“…Inclusion of ECEs altered the projected areas of suitable habitat across all species from an increase of over 3% to a decrease exceeding 10%, with the distribution of most Rhododendron species strongly influenced by extremes of drought and high temperatures. We found fewer than 18% of high‐risk areas of diversity loss were currently protected, with priority conservation areas mainly located in the Daxue, Daliang, Wumeng, and Jade Dragon Snow Mountains, as well as in the Nyingchi. …”
