High levels of Al and Ti in superalloy compositions normally lead to cracking formation during the laser powder bed fusion process,while these elements are key constituents of strengthening *** the current study,a novel Co-based superalloy with the basic chemical composition of Co-Al-W-Ta-Ti resolved this contradiction,indicating that the part was formed without cracking and simultaneously contained a large amount of strengthening precipitates in the microstructure fabricated via laser powder bed *** printability,microstructures,and mechanical properties of the sample were analysed before and after heat treatment,providing a potential superalloy that can replace Ni-based superalloys fabricated by additive manufacturing in aerospace and other industries with higher temperature and more efficiency.

Many natural organisms have evolved unique sensory systems over millions of years that have allowed them to detect various changes in their surrounding environments. Sensory systems feature numerous receptors—such as photoreceptors, mechanoreceptors,and chemoreceptors—that detect various types of external stimuli,including light, pressure, vibration, sound, and chemical *** stimuli are converted into electrochemical signals, which are transmitted to the brain to produce the sensations of sight, touch,hearing, taste, and smell. Inspired by the biological principles of sensory systems, recent advancements in electronics have led to a wide range of applications in artificial sensors. In the current review,we highlight recent developments in artificial sensors inspired by biological sensory systems utilizing soft ionic materials. The versatile characteristics of these ionic materials are introduced while focusing on their mechanical and electrical properties. The features and working principles of natural and artificial sensing systems are investigated in terms of six categories: vision, tactile, hearing, gustatory, olfactory, and proximity sensing. Lastly, we explore several challenges that must be overcome while outlining future research directions in the field of soft ionic sensors.

Fabrication of Aluminium-based metal matrix composites has proved to be one of the most promising alternatives to the conventional alloying methodologies in recent times for manufacturing lightweight materials with high strength bearing capacities. Apart from possessing appreciable mechanical properties, these fabricated composites are also expected to withstand significant wear resistance for various applications in extreme conditions. Braking pads can be considered as one of such applications which demand the material to be extremely resistant to high abrasion even at elevated temperatures. Hence the use of composites on such occasions is not uncommon. Owing to the significant increment in strength and toughness from the addition of SiC and the elevation of wear resistance by virtue of self-lubricating nature of graphite, they have proved to be the top choice for reinforcements. The present study deals with the fabrication and characterization of SiC and graphite-reinforced Aluminium LM6 alloys for their implementation as the primary constituent material in braking systems. Hence, the tribological analysis, comprising of estimation of the coefficient of friction, specific wear rate and wear track analysis of the fabricated composite, can be considered as the primary findings of the present study. The results indicated the ability of graphite to impart significant wear resistance at elevated temperatures. Employing the well-known stir casting methodology for fabrication purposes can also be considered as one of the highlights of the current investigation. The accurate assessment of mechanical properties was obtained through hardness, tensile and compression tests. Further, optical microscopy, electron diffraction spectroscopy and XRD analysis are presented with an aim to bridge the gap between theoretical expectations and experimental results. All the results were observed to be in good agreement with each other indicating the influence of SiC and Graphite reinforc
