Analytical and Finite Element Analysis of the Rolling Force for the Three-Roller Cylindrical Bending Process

In the roll bending process, the rolling force acting on the roller shafts is one of the most important parameters since, on the one hand, it determines the process settings including the pre-loading, and, on the other hand, its distribution and size may affect the integrity of both the bending system and the final product. In this study, the three-roller bending process was modeled using a two-dimensional plane–strain finite element method, and the rolling force was determined as a function of plate thickness, upper roller diameter, and yield strength for various API steel grades. Based on the numerical simulation results, a critical bending angle of 41° was identified and the rolling systems were divided into two categories, of less than or equal to, and greater than 41°, and an analytical model for predicting the maximum rolling force was developed for each category. To determine the optimal pre-tensioning force, two optimization formulations were proposed by minimizing the maximum equivalent stress and the absolute maximum displacement. The rolling forces predicted by the analytical models were found to be in good agreement with the numerical simulation results, with relative errors generally less than 10%. The predictive analytical models developed in this study capture well the complex deformation behavior that occurs during the roll bending process of steel plates, providing guidelines and predictions for industrial applications of this process.

Synthesis, structure characterization, and corrosion properties of duplex electroless Ni-P/Ni-B and Ni-P/Ni-B-W coatings on mild steel

This study investigates the formation of duplex electroless Ni-P/Ni-B and Ni-P/Ni-B-W alloys through electroless plating process coatings on mild steel using hypophosphite and sodium borohydride as a reducing agent, employing heat-treated. Electroless plating is affordable and suitable for coating convoluted structures. Duplex electroless on mild steel was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to examine the surface and cross-sectional morphologies of the duplex coating, and finally study electrochemical corrosion properties. The analysis reveals that duplex coating yields a thicker, more homogeneous coating with a characteristic cauliflower morphology and spherical nodular structures. The coating was initially amorphous, but finally crystallized when heated to 400 °C. More corrosion resistance was found in the Ni-P/Ni-B and Ni-P/Ni-B-W layers when Ni-B served as the outer covering. This study focuses on the important effects of varying tungsten concentrations and heat treatment on the corrosion resistance, surface quality, and microstructural characteristics of duplex coatings. Showed improved corrosion resistance when exposed to 0.5 g/L of Na2WO4.

Minimum quantity lubrication grinding process for high aluminum-silicon glass mobile phone cover plates

Purpose The impact on both the environment and operator health is significant. As high-alumina silica glass finds applications in smart devices such as curved mobile phone screens, the grinding of complex curved surfaces necessitates cleaner and more efficient cooling and lubrication methods to enhance processing quality and improve grinding yield rates. This study aims to focus on grinding high-alumina silica glass using micro-lubrication technology and compares its performance with traditional cutting fluid cooling methods. Design/methodology/approach In the fabrication of mobile phone cover plates composed of high-alumina silicon glass, the incorporation of micro-lubrication grinding technology was undertaken, with the conventional cutting fluid cooling approach serving as the benchmark control group for comparative analysis. Findings The results indicate that increasing the spray pressure of micro-lubrication within a specific range contributes to reducing grinding surface roughness. At a grinding speed ranging from 25 to 35 m/s, using micro-lubrication can effectively replace the traditional cutting fluid cooling method, resulting in glass surfaces with roughness levels between 0.22 and 0.26. However, at grinding speeds exceeding 35 m/s, the insufficient pressure of the micro-lubricant mist hinders most of the oil mist from entering the grinding zone, leading to inferior cooling performance compared to cutting fluid cooling. Notably, at a grinding speed of 35 m/s, micro-lubrication demonstrates better effectiveness in suppressing chipping during glass grinding compared to traditional cutting fluid cooling methods. Originality/value Through the application of micro-lubrication grinding technology, a marked improvement in the grinding quality of high-alumina silicon mobile phone cover plate glass can be achieved, leading to a reduction in surface roughness, a decrease in processing defects and ultimately satisfying the demands for high-precision and high-quality fabrication of such cover plates.

Parameter Optimization for Laser Peen Forming on 6005A-T6 Aluminum Alloy Plates to Enhance the Constrained Deformation of Integral Stiffened Plates.

Multiscale parameter optimization for laser peen forming (LPF) on 6005A-T6 aluminum alloy plates was conducted through a combination of simulation and experimentation. By obtaining the optimal parameter, this study aims to explore the constrained deformation and forming laws of the integral stiffened plates. Detailed descriptions were provided regarding the dynamic response process and transient behavior of aluminum alloy plates under ultrahigh strain rates, along with an in-depth analysis of the stress evolution. The results reveal that laser beam diameter and laser beam energy can achieve large range forming, while the number of tracks facilitates the precise deformation adjustment. During the 12-track LPF process, there is an overall upward trend in deformation values accompanied by a dynamic increase in the bend curvature. After static relaxation, the deformation value recovers to 55.2% of the final bending curvature. The chord direction scanning of stiffened plates exhibits a larger bending curvature, indicating its greater forming capacity for large-sized single unfolding direction formation; whereas, the unfolding direction scanning of stiffened plates excels in achieving efficient integrated two-way forming.

Complexion-induced Cu2+ coordinated phase separation PBI membrane for lithium metal batteries

The uncontrolled dendritic lithium production issues and the highly reactive behavior of lithium with electrolytes has limited use of lithium metal batteries. Herein, we utilized a straightforward method of the Complexion-Induced Phase Separation (CIPS) to fabricate a Cu2+ coordinated polybenzimidazole (PBI) membrane for a lithium metal battery. CIPS offer improved control over the structure and composition of the membrane, potentially leading to improved selectivity in ion transport, enhancing the safety and longevity of the battery. The formation mechanism and influencing elements of PBI-Cu are analyzed through experimental analysis and density functional theory calculations (DFT). The PBI-Cu membrane is effective in facilitating reversible lithium stripping and plating processes, suppressing dendrite formation, and promoting stable long-term cycling. Notably, the PBI-Cu cell demonstrated stable cycling conditions for over 200 h at a very high current density of 4 mA cm−2. The impressive rate performance was also confirmed during Li//LiFePO4 full cell operation, where it maintained a stable capacity of 120 mAh g−1 for more than 300 cycles. This research provides an in-depth insight into membrane design and paves the way for its application in various other energy-related technologies.

A novel strategy for activation technique for 6H-SiC substrates in electroless Ni-P plating processes

This study proposes a novel iron wire activation method for electroless Ni-P plating on 6H-SiC substrates, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional metal activation techniques, focusing on the surface roughness effect on the microhardness and Ni-P plating efficiency of 6H-SiC substrates. This experimental approach reveals insights into the relationship between substrate morphology and plating characteristics. It is found that the plating thickness (33.82 μm) of the non-polished substrates closely matched the expected (33.26 μm), with a deposition rate of 6.65 μm/h, which underscores the precision regulation of the plating process. In contrast, despite the faster deposition rate of 9.20 μm/h of the polished S500 substrate, it exhibited a minor thickness discrepancy, suggesting a saturation point in the deposition dynamics on fully polished surfaces. The research additionally sheds light on the adhesion characteristics of the plated layers, particularly emphasizing the role of surface roughness. Remarkably, non-polished substrates demonstrated better adhesion, categorized as HF3, indicating a significantly stronger bond compared to the polished substrates, which were categorized as HF4 to HF6. This distinction in adhesion categories underlines the critical influence of substrate morphology on the quality of the Ni-P layer's adherence.

T2-weighted spoiled gradient echo MRI for forensic age estimation: a study on knee growth plates.

The timing of growth plate fusion is a key indicator for age estimation and is primarily used in forensic investigations. On the other hand, non-ionizing techniques such as MRI are being developed to provide safer and more ethical evaluations in forensic casework. This study aims to evaluate the closure process of growth plates in the distal femoral and proximal tibial epiphyses using Multiple Echo Recombined Gradient Echo (MERGE) MRI sequences and provide age estimation data based on staging methods for forensic purposes. We retrospectively analyzed 559 patients (294 males, 265 females, aged 8-25 years) diagnosed with trauma and knee pain at Tepecik Training and Research Hospital from 2016 to 2019. MRI scans were performed using a 1.5-T system with MERGE sequences and evaluated by two observers using a new staging system. Observer agreement was assessed using Cohen's κ test, yielding high agreement values (κ > 0.8). Positive correlations were found between age and ossification stages (p < 0.001). Minimum age thresholds for stages 5a and 5b of the distal femoral epiphysis were 16 and 18 years for females and 17 and 19 years for males, respectively. For the proximal tibial epiphysis, the minimum ages for stages 5a and 5b were 15 years for females and 17 years for males. The MERGE sequence provides a viable method for assessing skeletal maturity in living individuals with significant ethical advantages due to non-ionizing radiation. This study supports the potential application of the MERGE sequence in forensic age estimation, demonstrating high observer agreement and consistency. Future research should focus on comparing different sequences and populations to enhance the methodology's applicability.

Corrosion-resistant titanium-based electrodes synergistically stabilized with polymer for hydrogen evolution reaction

The economic and reasonable design of highly stable and corrosion-resistant electrodes is fundamental to achieving the industrial-scale hydrogen productions via water electrolysis, but electrodes’ premature failures are often caused by corrosion and stress damage. Therefore, these challenges are successfully solved by utilizing conductive and crack-resistant polyaniline “stabilizer” with a mild chemical plating process to construct the catalytic electrode on a titanium substrate (15 %PANI-NiB@Ti) in the present work. The 15 %PANI-NiB@Ti catalytic electrodes have been in continuous operation for 350 h at the current density of 200 mA cm−2 with the high efficiency of 98.4 % in a 323.15 K environment. With the high economy and universality, the catalytic electrodes have good catalytic performance and reliability in the extreme industrial environments, such as high temperature, air, and high current density. Except for the above advantages, the 15 %PANI-NiB@Ti catalytic electrodes also have good cracking resistance, which provides a novel and feasible approach to the industrial application of transition metal catalytic electrodes.

Research Status of Laser Welding Technology for Thin Metal Plates

This article analyzes the current research status of laser welding technology for metal thin plates, discusses the problems existing in laser welding technology for metal thin plates, points out the development direction of laser welding technology for metal thin plates, solves some problems in the welding process of metal thin plates, and provides reference for future thin plate welding technology.

Laser Cutting of Titanium Alloy Plates: A Review of Processing, Microstructure, and Mechanical Properties

The growing use of titanium alloys has led to the gradual replacement of traditional processing methods by laser cutting technology, making it the preferred method for processing titanium alloy plates due to its high efficiency, precision, and adaptability. In this review, the characteristics of laser cutting technology and its application in titanium alloy plate processing are summarized, outlining several aspects of the cutting process, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the material after cutting, along with simulation predictions. Previous research categorized laser-cutting input parameters into beam parameters and process parameters, with the commonly used parameters being the laser power, cutting speed, and gas pressure. Various parameter combinations can achieve different cutting qualities, and seven indices can be used to evaluate the cutting process, with the surface roughness and slit width serving as the most common indices. Different auxiliary gases have shown a significant impact on the laser cutting quality, with commonly used gases consisting of nitrogen, argon, and air. Argon-assisted cutting generally results in better surface quality. Due to the rapid temperature change, the titanium alloy microstructure will undergo a non-diffusive martensitic phase transformation during laser cutting, producing a heat-affected zone. Experimental studies and simulations of the mechanical properties have shown that the occurrence of a martensitic phase transformation increases the hardness and residual tensile stress of the material, which reduces the fatigue strength and static tensile properties. In addition, studies have found that the more streaks appear on the cut surface, the lower the fatigue strength is, with fatigue cracks arising from the stripes. Hence, the established analytical solution model and three-dimensional finite element model can effectively predict the temperature distribution and residual stress during the cutting process. This can provide a better understanding of the high residual stress characteristics of the cutting edge and the stripe formation mechanism, allowing researchers to better explore the mechanism of laser cutting.

Analysis of Thickness Variation in 2219 Aluminum Alloy Ellipsoid Shell with Differential Thickness by Hydroforming

The process of spinning and machining for heavy plates has the problems of a large amount of machining, large springback, and easy cracking. Aiming to address these issues, we proposed a deep drawing forming method for a plate with differential thickness to manufacture an integral ellipsoid component with a thin zone in the middle and a thick zone in the periphery. The plate with a differential thickness was initially produced through machining, followed by the execution of deep drawing deformation. During the deformation process of plates with differential thickness, the thin zone is prone to rupture defects. Therefore, a hydroforming method utilizing an elastic auxiliary plate was adopted to solve this problem. Through mechanical analysis and deep drawing experiments, the influences of hydraulic pressure and elastic auxiliary plate on the distributions of thickness and strain were studied, and the influence of friction on hydroforming was analyzed. The results indicate that increasing the hydraulic pressure and setting elastic auxiliary plates can increase the interfacial friction, reduce the thickness thinning rate, and improve the thickness distribution and deformation uniformity within the thin zone. When the hydraulic pressure is 5.2 MPa and the thickness of the elastic plate is 5 mm, the maximum thickness thinning rate of the ellipsoid shell is 8.8%, which is 34% lower than that of the ellipsoid shell obtained via conventional deep drawing.

Evaluating copper plating process for filling micro vias with thin surface Cu by the 1-(4-carboxyphenyl)-5-mercapto-1H-tetrazole additive

The 1-(4-carboxyphenyl)-5-mercapto-1 h-tetrazole (CMHT) as a novel leveler for the overfilling of micro-blind vias was investigated in acidic copper electroplating. The synergistic effect between CMHT and other additives were confirmed through chronoamperometry, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results showed a convection-dependent interaction between the CMHT and suppressor (propyleneoxide (PO)-ethylene oxide (EO)-propylene oxide (PO), named PEP). Metallographic section testing demonstrated that the CMHT not only have excellent microvia filling performances, but also only have 19.1 μm thin surface Cu for micro blind vias with a diameter of 150 µm and a depth of 80 µm by the electrodepositing 60 min of 2 A/dm2. The quantum chemical calculations experiments revealed also that the CMHT parallel orientation of the benzene ring and tetrazole heterocycle can enhance the effective adsorption area. The obtained results from electrochemical test and quantum chemical calculations were in reasonably good agreement.

Re-understanding and mitigating hydrogen release chemistry toward reversible aqueous zinc metal batteries

Interfacial H2 release severely limits the reversibility and feasibility of aqueous Zn metal batteries for large-scale energy storage. Different from the conventional perception that H2 release mainly originates from the competition between hydrogen evolution reaction and Zn plating process, we herein surprisingly find that non-negligible H2 is also generated during stripping due to the accelerated chemical corrosion of the newly exposed Zn surface. To address this issue, we systematically screened the organic additives with different molecular structures and functional groups. Interestingly, a positive correlation between the adsorption strength of additives and the ability to inhibit the interfacial hydrogen release is found. Taking cysteamine (MEA) as a model additive, a gradient solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is in situ formed at the Zn surface, acting as a chemical “barrier” to isolate interfacial water molecules from electrode surface consequently enable a higher Coulombic efficiency (>99.5%, 4000 cycles) compared with that of MEA-free electrolyte (98.1%, 189 cycles). This work provides a new understanding of the interfacial hydrogen release mechanism and the criteria for selecting additives for aqueous Zn metal anodes.

An electron-losing regulation strategy for stripping modulation towards a highly reversible Zn anode.

The practical application of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) is hindered by their low coulombic efficiency (CE) and unstable cycle life. Numerous electrolyte-additive-related studies have been performed, but most of the focus has been on the Zn plating process. In fact, practical AZIBs undergo stripping in practice rather than plating in the initial cycle, because the commonly used cathodes in the charged state do not have zinc ions, so a uniform stripping process is crucial for the cell performance of AZIBs. Here, we propose an electron-losing regulation strategy for stripping modulation by adding additives. Oxolane (OL) was chosen as the model additive to verify this assumption. It is found that OL adsorbs onto the uneven initial Zn surface and accelerates the dissolution of the Zn tips, thus providing a uniform Zn anode during the stripping process. The oxygen atoms in OL reduce the surface energy of Zn and promote the exposure of the Zn (002) surface during plating. Consequently, cells with the OL electrolyte additive maintained a long lifespan and showed superior reversibility with a high average CE. The findings of this work lead to a deep understanding of the underlying mechanism of Zn anode stripping and provide new guidance for designing electrolyte additives.

A New Process for Efficient Non-Destructive Metal-Activated Composite Plating of Ni-P-Al2O3 on Titanium Base and Its Performance Research

A new high efficient and non-destructive mental activation process of electroless composite plating was proposed. The process utilized electromagnetic induction equipment to heat the titanium alloy substrate and used its energy to complete the activation process, which could successfully attach the nickel nanoparticles firmly to the surface of the titanium alloy; at the same time, the process pre-activated Al2O3 nanoparticles and added the activated nanoparticles to the plating solution. In the process of plating, the activated titanium substrate was used as the catalytic center of electroless nickel plating (ENP) for electroless composite plating. The new activation process avoided complicated traditional processes such as acid etching and zinc dipping. Such traditional processes require huge doses of chemicals, including various strong acids, so improper waste liquid treatment will cause harm to the environment. The important parameters of the process were optimized by orthogonal experiments. A scanning electron microscope (SEM), an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), thermal shock experiments and friction and wear experiments were used to characterize and analyze the surface morphology, composition, binding force and friction coefficient of the coating, and analyze the coating quality by measuring the plating rate and the thickness of the coating. The results showed that the rate of electroless composite plating increased with the increase in Al2O3 nanoparticle concentration. When the concentration of Al2O3 nanoparticles reached 1.5 g/L, the ENP rate decreased with the increase in Al2O3 nanoparticle concentration. The adhesion of the sample was evaluated by the scratch test, which showed that the binding grade of the sample was 0, and the Vickers hardness was 688.5 HV. Results showed that the coating produced by this new process has excellent performance. Therefore, the process is an environmentally friendly and fast activation composite plating process.

Fabrication of conductive polyimide/metal composite fibers for high temperature EMI shielding

Surface metallization of high-performance polymer fibers via electroless plating represents a significant advancement in producing lightweight, flexible and durable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding fabrics. The conventional process for metallization of polyimide (PI) fibers faces challenges, including complex procedures and insufficient interfacial adhesion between the metal layer and fiber matrix. Herein, carboxylate-containing PI (PIC) fibers were developed to mitigate the mechanical degradation caused by traditional alkaline etching. Conductive composite fibers (PIC/Cu) were successfully produced through a continuous electroless copper plating process. The robust PIC/Cu interfacial bonding achieved based on nanoscale mechanical interlocking through Ni nanoparticles imparts excellent flexibility and durability, evidenced by only a 4 % increase in electrical resistance after 5000 bending cycles. The dense, uniform copper layer provides high conductivity (1.3 × 104 S/cm), resulting in an optimal EMI shielding efficiency of 63.4 dB for the corresponding fabric. Moreover, PIC/Cu-Ni fibers prepared by further electroless plating of nickel layer on the surface of PIC/Cu fibers demonstrate remarkable electrical stability across temperatures ranging from 50 to 350°C, with only a 1.2 % reduction in conductivity after exposure to 350°C for 1 h. These findings advance the development of high-performance conductive PI fibers for applications in aerospace vehicles and high-temperature environments.

Hydrogen reduction and baking process of Pb-silicate microchannel plate and their performance studies

Microchannel plate (MCP) are honeycomb structures consisting of numerous parallel, hollow micro glass fiber channels renowned for their exceptional secondary electron multiplication. This paper investigates changes in MCP properties under hydrogen reduction temperatures ranging from 300 °C to 500 °C. The findings reveal that higher temperatures reduce surface metal oxides, which then accumulate within and darken the microchannels, affecting electron transport. Bulk resistance decreases before increasing, while gain increases and then decreases. At 350 °C, lead oxide begins to reduce to its conductive state, enhancing electron multiplication. However, increased temperatures cause clustering and roughening of the inner channel walls, which diminishes the efficiency of secondary electron release. These alterations are associated with the reduction dynamics of lead ions and temperature-induced microstructural changes. As the hydrogen reduction temperature increases, internal stresses shift outward, and the uniformity of gain varies, reaching its peak at 400 °C. Additionally, an aluminum oxide film enhances resistance to baking and ensures consistent bulk resistance. This study elucidates the relationship between MCP performance and reduction temperature, providing valuable insights for design improvement.

Preparation and tribocorrosion behavior of electrodeposited Ni–W/ SiC composite coatings

Ni-W composite coatings that are applied using electrodeposition exhibit excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance and wear resistance and are a substitute for hard chrome because they involve fewer environmental hazards than regular chromium plating processes. This study determines the effect of process parameters, such as current density (5, 10 and 15 A/dm2) and SiC concentration (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 g/L), on the chemical composition, structure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of electrodeposited Ni-W/SiC composite coatings and determines the interaction between the mechanical behavior and the electrochemical reactions that occur during corrosion and friction. The experimental results show that there are no cracks on the surface of the coating and that the surface roughness increases as current density increases. As the content of W and SiC particles in the composite coating increases, the hardness and corrosion resistance of the coating increase because of solid solution strengthening and nano-ceramic particle dispersion strengthening.In order to verify the protective performance of the coating in complex environments, a ball-on-disk abrasion tester and a potentiostat are used to determine the tribocorrosion behavior of the Ni-W/SiC composite coating against the sliding of the Al2O3 counter-body. In 3.5 wt%NaCl solution and at +600 mV, the corrosion and wear characteristics of composite coatings that are produce using different process parameters are determined. Analysis of the synergistic effects of corrosion and friction shows that the wear component (△Wwear) is 3–5 times greater than the corrosion component (△Wcorr), which is the main cause of coating damage. The greater the hardness of the coating, the less mass is lost for the wear component (△Wwear). The results show that the operating parameters for producing ideal Ni-W/SiC composite coatings are a SiC particle concentration 1.0 g/L and a current density of 10A/dm2. These settings give the best wear resistance in corrosive environments.

Designed bimetallic layer-encapsulated tungsten powders for reinforcing tungsten-silver matrix composite electrical contact materials

Electrical contact materials (ECMs) play a pivotal role in maintaining the stability and efficiency of electrical instruments and electronic devices by regulating the current flow. As an essential member of ECMs, W-Ag matrix composite ECMs (W-Ag-MC-ECMs) are integral, demonstrating commendable resistance to welding and arc erosion. However, the limited wettability between the two phases curtails their broader applications. Herein, Ag-Cu and Ag-Ni bimetallic layer-encapsulated tungsten powders were designed and successfully synthesized through a two-step electroless plating process. Subsequently, the W-Ag-MC-ECMs were fabricated following the powder metallurgy route, including the solution ball milling process and the spark plasma sintering technique. The results indicated that Cu-Ag solid solution and Ni with a metal binder effect could strengthen the interface bonding, which can dramatically improve the microhardness (up to 182HV), strength (up to 600 MPa), ductility (up to 24 %) and resistance to arc erosion (nearly two times longer service life). In addition, during the arc erosion, attributed to the Cu-Ag solid solution effect of W@Ag@Cu/Ag-MC-ECMs and solution-strengthening effect of W@Ag@Ni/Ag-MC-ECMs, the work function increases and the arc energy decreases, which reduces mass loss and extends the service life of the contacts.

Molten Aluminum-Induced Corrosion and Wear-Resistance Properties of ZrB2-Based Cermets Improved by Sintering-Temperature Manipulation.

During the hot dip aluminum plating process, components such as sinking rollers, pulling rollers, and guide plates will come into long-term contact with high-temperature liquid aluminum and be corroded by the aluminum liquid, greatly reducing their service life. Therefore, the development of a material with excellent corrosion resistance to molten aluminum is used to prepare parts for the dipping and plating equipment and protect the equipment from erosion, which can effectively improve the production efficiency of the factory and strengthen the quality of aluminum-plated materials, which is of great significance for the growth of corporate profits. With AlFeNiCoCr as the binder phase and ZrB2 as the hard phase, ZrB2-based ceramic composites were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS). SEM, EDS and XRD were used to characterize the microstructure and properties of the sintered, corroded, and abraded material samples. The density, fracture toughness, corrosion rate and wear amount of the composite material were measured. The results show that ZrB2-AlFeNiCoCr ceramics have compact structure and excellent mechanical properties, and the density, hardness and fracture toughness of ZrB2-AlFeNiCoCr increase with the increase in sintering temperature. However, when the composite material is at 1600 °C, the relative density of the sintering at 1600 °C decreases due to the overflow of the bonding phase. Therefore, when the sintering temperature is 1500 °C, the high entropy alloy has the best performance. The average corrosion rate of ZrB2-1500 at 700 °C liquid aluminum is 1.225 × 10-3 mm/h, and the wear amount in the friction and wear test is 0.104 mm3.
