The document summarizes research on the corrosion performance of high entropy alloys (HEAs) containing multiple principal elements. Four HEAs with varying titanium content were synthesized and characterized. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the formation of a face-centered cubic phase in all samples. Hardness testing showed that titanium acted as a solid solution strengthener, increasing hardness with higher titanium content. Electrochemical analysis revealed that increasing the titanium content improved corrosion resistance in 3.5% NaCl solution, as evidenced by more positive corrosion potentials and lower corrosion current densities. The highest titanium HEA exhibited the best corrosion performance with the most positive potential and lowest current density, indicating it formed a more protective surface film.

This research paper includes the laser transformation hardening of commercially pure titanium sheet of 1.6mm thickness is investigated using CW Nd:YAG laser. Commercially pure titanium has prevalent application in various fields of industries including the medical, nuclear, thermal, marine, defense, automobile aerospace and pharmaceutical industries. A FFD with RSM is employed to establish, optimize and to investigate the relationships of three laser transformation hardening process parameters: laser power, scanning speed, and focused position on laser hardened bead profile parameters such as angle of entry of hardened bead profile and power density. RSM is used to develop pseudo-closed-form models from the computational parametric studies. Adequacies of developed models were analyzed by ANOVA. Effects of laser process parameters on an angle of entry of hardened bead profile and power density were also carried out using RSM. The laser power and scanning speed consecutively have a positive and significant effect on angle of entry of hardened bead profile and power density respectively as compared to the focal point position among all laser hardening process parameters. The optimum laser hardening conditions are identified sequentially to minimize an angle of entry of hardened profile, power density. The validation results demonstrate that the developed models are accurate with low percentages of error.

Effect of Powder Mixed Dielectric Fluid on MRR And SR During Electrical Disch...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: This paper mainly focussed to investigate the machining characteristics of RENE 80 Nickel Alloy during powder mixed electrical discharge machining. The experiments were conducted considering electrical parameters (pulse on time, peak current and pulse off time) at optimal combination to get maximum material removal rate by varying powders like aluminium, graphite and combination of aluminium and graphite powders and their concentrations. The experimental results reveal that improvement in material removal rate with addition of powders into dielectric fluid. The maximum material removal rate (75.08 mm3 /min) was noticed with graphite powder substances at 9 g/l. Minimum surface roughness (4.44µm) was noticed at the combination of aluminium and graphite powders (1:1 ratio) substance of 4.5 g/l. However considering simultaneously better values of all two responses namely material removal rate (71.90 mm3 /min) and surface roughness (4.44µm) are obtained with the combination of aluminium and graphite powders (1:1 ratio) of 4.5 g/l.
Bioinspired multimetal electrocatalyst for selective methane oxidationPawan Kumar
Selective partial electrooxidation of methane (CH4) to liquid oxygenates has been a long-sought goal. However, the high activation energy of C–H bonds and competing oxygen evolution reaction limit product selectivity and reaction rates. Inspired by iron (IV)-oxo containing metalloenzymes’ functionality to activate the C–H bond, here we report on the design of a copper-iron-nickel catalyst for selective oxidation of CH4 to formate via a peroxide-assisted pathway. Each catalyst serves a specific role which is confirmed via electrochemical, in situ, and theoretical studies. A combination of electrochemical and in situ spectroelectrochemical studies revealed that H2O2 oxidation on nickel led to the formation of active oxygen species which trigger the formation of iron (IV) at low voltages. Density functional theory analysis helped reveal the role of iron (IV)-oxo species in reducing the activation energy barrier for CH4 deprotonation and the critical role of copper to suppress overoxidation. Our multimetal catalyst exhibits a formate faradaic efficiency of 42% at an applied potential of 0.9 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode.

Carburization is a thermo-chemical treatment generally employed to enhance the
surface (wear) properties of low carbon steels. The recent carburization studies also
focus considerable positive impact on bulk properties like tensile strength and
toughness. In view of these observations, the present study focuses on mechanical
properties and microstructure of carburized steels. Accordingly, the commercially
available three types of case hardenable steels like plain carbon (EN 3), alloy steels
with only ferrite stabilizer (20MnCr5) and with both ferrite (Cr) and austenite (Ni)
stabilizers (EN 353) were initially normalized to standardize the room temperature
structure before carburizing and machined to ASTM standards to prepare the
specimens. The machined specimens were gas carburized using carburizing furnace
for 2.5 mm case depth and furnace cooled. Tensile and hardness tests were conducted
before and after carburization. The plain carbon steel displayed slight reduction in
tensile strength and the steels with alloying elements increased the tensile strength
considerably. It was also found that Ni and Cr restrict the grain growth and increase
the strength of steel even in furnace cooled condition. Microstructure analysis of
carburized steels revealed markable impact on the type and distribution of room
temperature phases. The carbon content in the case was nearly 0.8 wt. % after
carburization and hardness increase in the surface ranges from 130 to 170% as that
of its original hardness. The combined effect of Ni and Cr also improves
hardenability.

STUDY THE EFFECT OF RESPONSE REDUCTION FACTOR ON RC FRAMED STRUCTUREIRJET Journal
This study examines the effect of response reduction factors (R factors) on reinforced concrete (RC) framed structures through nonlinear dynamic analysis. Three RC frame models with varying heights (4, 8, and 12 stories) were analyzed in ETABS software under different R factors ranging from 1 to 5. The results showed that displacement increased as the R factor decreased, indicating less linear behavior for lower R factors. Drift also decreased proportionally with increasing R factors from 1 to 5. Shear forces in the frames decreased with higher R factors. In general, R factors of 3 to 5 produced more satisfactory performance with less displacement and drift. The displacement variations between different building heights were consistent at different R factors. This study evaluated how R factors influence

Effect of Powder Mixed Dielectric Fluid on MRR And SR During Electrical Disch...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: This paper mainly focussed to investigate the machining characteristics of RENE 80 Nickel Alloy during powder mixed electrical discharge machining. The experiments were conducted considering electrical parameters (pulse on time, peak current and pulse off time) at optimal combination to get maximum material removal rate by varying powders like aluminium, graphite and combination of aluminium and graphite powders and their concentrations. The experimental results reveal that improvement in material removal rate with addition of powders into dielectric fluid. The maximum material removal rate (75.08 mm3 /min) was noticed with graphite powder substances at 9 g/l. Minimum surface roughness (4.44µm) was noticed at the combination of aluminium and graphite powders (1:1 ratio) substance of 4.5 g/l. However considering simultaneously better values of all two responses namely material removal rate (71.90 mm3 /min) and surface roughness (4.44µm) are obtained with the combination of aluminium and graphite powders (1:1 ratio) of 4.5 g/l.
Bioinspired multimetal electrocatalyst for selective methane oxidationPawan Kumar
Selective partial electrooxidation of methane (CH4) to liquid oxygenates has been a long-sought goal. However, the high activation energy of C–H bonds and competing oxygen evolution reaction limit product selectivity and reaction rates. Inspired by iron (IV)-oxo containing metalloenzymes’ functionality to activate the C–H bond, here we report on the design of a copper-iron-nickel catalyst for selective oxidation of CH4 to formate via a peroxide-assisted pathway. Each catalyst serves a specific role which is confirmed via electrochemical, in situ, and theoretical studies. A combination of electrochemical and in situ spectroelectrochemical studies revealed that H2O2 oxidation on nickel led to the formation of active oxygen species which trigger the formation of iron (IV) at low voltages. Density functional theory analysis helped reveal the role of iron (IV)-oxo species in reducing the activation energy barrier for CH4 deprotonation and the critical role of copper to suppress overoxidation. Our multimetal catalyst exhibits a formate faradaic efficiency of 42% at an applied potential of 0.9 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode.

Carburization is a thermo-chemical treatment generally employed to enhance the
surface (wear) properties of low carbon steels. The recent carburization studies also
focus considerable positive impact on bulk properties like tensile strength and
toughness. In view of these observations, the present study focuses on mechanical
properties and microstructure of carburized steels. Accordingly, the commercially
available three types of case hardenable steels like plain carbon (EN 3), alloy steels
with only ferrite stabilizer (20MnCr5) and with both ferrite (Cr) and austenite (Ni)
stabilizers (EN 353) were initially normalized to standardize the room temperature
structure before carburizing and machined to ASTM standards to prepare the
specimens. The machined specimens were gas carburized using carburizing furnace
for 2.5 mm case depth and furnace cooled. Tensile and hardness tests were conducted
before and after carburization. The plain carbon steel displayed slight reduction in
tensile strength and the steels with alloying elements increased the tensile strength
considerably. It was also found that Ni and Cr restrict the grain growth and increase
the strength of steel even in furnace cooled condition. Microstructure analysis of
carburized steels revealed markable impact on the type and distribution of room
temperature phases. The carbon content in the case was nearly 0.8 wt. % after
carburization and hardness increase in the surface ranges from 130 to 170% as that
of its original hardness. The combined effect of Ni and Cr also improves
hardenability.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELijaia
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
