Grain boundaries (GB) can exhibit multiple phases with distinct atomic structures, significantly impacting the physical and mechanical properties of materials. Under external stimuli, transitions between different GB phases frequently occur, yet the underlying atomistic mechanism remains insufficiently understood. Here, using molecular dynamics simulation, we uncover an accelerated GB relaxation mechanism through metastable-to-equilibrium GB phase transition induced by thermal cycling in aluminum. In the [100] symmetrical tilt GB, thermal cycling between 200 and 400 K accelerates the split-kite to normal-kite phase transition. This phase transition is driven by the hydrostatic stress-induced formation of localized vacancies and the immediate insertion of nearby atoms at the GB, distinguishing it from the conventional transition mechanism involving long-range atomic diffusion in isothermal annealing process. The kinetics of GB phase transitions is systematically investigated, clarifying their dependence on critical thermal cycling parameters, including maximum temperature T max , thermal amplitude Δ T , and cyclic number N . A saturated transition ratio of approximately 30% is also observed through thermal cycling, which exceeds that after isothermal annealing, leading to enhanced GB mobility.

Atmospheric plasma spraying was employed to prepare NB (BN-NiCr) and NM (Mo/BN-NiCr) composite coatings. The incorporation of Mo particles reduced the friction coefficient of NM coatings (0.35–0.42) compared to NB coating. However, excessive Mo content can cause particle rebound, negatively affecting friction performance. The self-lubricating properties of Mo and the layered structure of BN form a lubricating film at the friction interface, reducing the wear rate. Additionally, Mo particles enhance the NiCr coating’s strength and wear resistance. The wear mechanism transitions from adhesive to abrasive wear, with localized high temperatures during friction promoting the formation of oxide films, such as NiO, Cr2O3, and MoO3, further improving the wear resistance.

A strategy that combines experiment and simulation to design and optimize electromagnetic (EM) metamaterial absorbers containing a periodic porous structure is described. The approach provides the ability to produce absorbers that meet multiple user-specified objectives. Using the measured intrinsic properties of the baseline materials as an input to EM-field based computational modelling and optimization, absorption by the studied metamaterials measured by their reflection loss (RL) increases significantly. The resulting metamaterials have the potential for lower cost and lighter weight while providing greater protection than traditional metal gaskets and foams.
