Cooperative twinning behavior leads to superior mechanical properties in a coherently precipitated high-entropy alloy by Shuai Yuan, Xinghao Du, Dezheng liu, Chenxi Yuan, Zeyu Xing, Jinyu Zhang, Hechuan Ma, Shijun Zhao, Wanpeng Li, Baolin Wu, Jun Sun

“…Dense planar defects comprised of deformation twins (DTs) have been activated in the grains composed of γ phase and coherently precipitated γ′ phase during the tensile process at room temperature. The underlying mechanism for the nucleation and growth of DTs in the grains with γ/γ′ duplex phases has been elucidated through transmission electron microscopy observations and density functional theory calculation, emphasizing the importance of the DTs. …”

Tailoring graphite fiber addition to improve high-temperature wear resistance graphite fiber/ Fe composite by Boer Cao, Qinyuan Huang, Yuhao Wu, Hongli Cao, Shangyang Zou, Quan Shan

“…Oxidation tests defined the temperature range for wear tests, revealing that the Gf/Fe composites possess a wear temperature range from room temperature to 900 °C. Within this range, composites with 15 vol% Gf demonstrated a stable friction coefficient, lower wear volume, and lower wear rate, indicating superior wear resistance. …”

Challenges and Prospects of Digital Core-Reconstruction Research by Linqi Zhu, Chong Zhang, Chaomo Zhang, Xueqing Zhou, Zhansong Zhang, Xin Nie, Weinan Liu, Boyuan Zhu

“…Currently, studies on digital core reconstruction, especially for the 3D digital core stochastic reconstruction method based on 2D slices, are still very rough, and much room for improvement remains. In particular, we emphasize the importance of evaluating functions, multiscale 3D digital cores, multicomponent 3D digital cores, and disciplinary intersection methods in the 3D construction of digital cores. …”
