Powder hot isostatic pressing(HIP) is an effective method to achieve near-net-shape manufacturing of high-quality complex thinwalled titanium alloy parts, and it has received extensive attention in recent years. However, there are few reports about the microstructure characteristics on the strengthening and toughening mechanisms of powder hot isostatic pressed(HIPed) titanium alloys. Therefore, TA15powder was prepared into alloy by HIP approach, which was used to explore the microstructure characteristics at different HIP temperatures and the corresponding tensile properties and fracture toughness. Results show that the fabricated alloy has a “basket-like structure” when the HIP temperature is below 950℃, consisting of lath clusters and surrounding small equiaxed grains belts. When the HIP temperature is higher than 950℃, the microstructure gradually transforms into the Widmanstatten structure, accompanied by a significant increase in grain size. The tensile strength and elongation are reduced from 948 MPa and 17.3% for the 910℃ specimen to 861 MPa and 10% for the 970℃ *** corresponding tensile fracture mode changes from transcrystalline plastic fracture to mixed fracture including intercrystalline *** fracture toughness of the specimens increases from 82.64 MPa·m^(1/2)for the 910℃ specimen to 140.18 MPa·m^(1/2)for the 970℃ *** below 950℃ tend to form holes due to the prior particle boundaries(PPBs), which is not conducive to toughening. Specimens above 950℃ have high fracture toughness due to the crack deflection, crack branching, and shear plastic deformation of the Widmanstatten structure. This study provides a valid reference for the development of powder HIPed titanium alloy.

Rational design and production of materials for highly effective and environmental-friendly electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction(HER) play a pivotal role in advancing renewable energy utilization. Structural engineering of noble metal nanomaterials can significantly boost catalytic performance through atomic rearrangement, electronic structure modification and surface reactivity modulation. Here, RuNi alloy is synthesized using a novel high temperature liquid shock method(HTLS) with instant Joule heating treatment at 1073 K under the mixed atmosphere of Argon(Ar) and CO. The synthesis process involves an aqueous solution containing metal precursors, capping agents, reductant agents and carbon black. Particularly, the as-prepared RuNi-HTS nanostructures with hexagonal close-packed(hcp) phase demonstrate impressive electrocatalytic HER activity in alkaline conditions, requiring only 28 mV of overpotentials at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. Note that the Tafel slope is 159.2 mV dec-1. Furthermore, this versatile HTLS method can be extended to synthesize other catalysts, including Ru-HTS, PtRu, and PtZn, all of which show commendable performance for HER as well. This study lays the groundwork for the strategic design and high-throughput synthesis of novel materials with finetuned structure and refined size, enabling highly efficient and environmental-friendly electrocatalysis.
