This paper presents an experimental investigation of the mechanical and tribological properties of Cu–graphene nanosheets (GN) nanocomposites. We employed the electroless coating process to coat GNs with Ag particles to avoid its reaction with Cu and the formation of intermetallic phases. We analyzed the effect of GN content on the structural, mechanical, and tribological properties of the produced nanocom-posites. Results showed that the electroless coating process is an efficient technique to avoid the reaction between Cu and C and the formation of intermetallic phases. The addition of GNs significantly improves the mechanical and tribological properties of Cu nanocomposites. However, the addition of GNs needs to be done carefully because, after a certain threshold value, the mechanical and tribological properties are negatively affected. The optimum GN content is determined to be 0.5vol％, at which hardness, wear rate, and coefficient of friction are im-proved by 13％, 81.9％, and 49.8％, respectively, compared with Cu nanocomposites. These improved properties are due to the reduced crys-tallite size, presence of GNs, and homogenous distribution of the composite constituents.

Multicomponent Al20Cr20Fe25Ni25Mn10 alloys were synthesized using spark plasma sintering at different temperatures (800, 900, and 1000℃) and holding times (4, 8, and 12 min) to develop a high entropy alloy (HEA). The characteristics of spark plasma-synthe
The evolution of inclusions and the formation of acicular ferrite (AF) in Ca–Ti treated steel was systematically investigated after Mg and La addition. The inclusions in the molten steel were Ca–Al–O, Ca–Al–Mg–O, and La–Mg–Ca–Al–O after Ca, Mg, and La add
The evolution behavior of the γ″ phase of IN718 superalloy in a temperature/stress coupled field was investigated. Results showed that the coarsening rate of the γ″ phase was significantly accelerated in the temperature/stress coupled field. Based on the
Bimetal materials derived from transition metals can be good catalyst candidates towards some specific reactions. When loaded on graphene (GP), these catalysts exhibit remarkable performance in the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride. To obtain such catalyst
Nanoparticles of potassium ferrite (KFeO2) in this work were synthesized by a simple egg white solution method upon calcination in air at 773, 873, and 973 K for 2 h. The effects of calcination temperature on the structural and magnetic properties of the
The optimized growth parameters of graphene with different morphologies, such as dendrites, rectangle, and hexagon, have been ob-tained by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition on polycrystalline copper substrates. The evolution of fractal graphene, whic

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) hinder corrosive elements by forming a double layer and locking them between its layers. Hence, LDHs are interesting materials in corrosion inhibition. In this work, Zn–Mg-based LDHs are grown over a copper substrate by us
In this study, Mg–9Al–1Si–1SiC (wt％) composites were processed by multi-pass equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) at vari-ous temperatures, and their microstructure evolution and strengthening mechanism were explored. Results showed that the as-cast micr
The aim of this investigation was to prepare geopolymeric precursor from vanadium tailing (VT) by thermal activation and modific-ation. For activation, a homogeneous blend of VT and sodium hydroxide was calcinated at an elevated temperature and then modif
