Abstract:
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) poses a significant threat to the operational stability and reliability of modern electronic and communication systems. The increasing integration density of electronic components, particularly in aerospace, defense, and portable technologies, necessitates the development of lightweight, mechanically robust, and highly efficient shielding materials as alternatives to conventional bulk metals.
In this study, three-dimensional (3D) printed Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG) polymers were metallized via an electroless plating process to enhance their electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (SE). [..]

Abstract:
Although CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) exhibits excellent ductility due to its face-centered cubic (FCC) crystal structure, its relatively low strength limits its applicability in certain industrial applications. To enhance its bulk mechanical performance, alloying additions can be introduced, while various surface modification techniques can be employed to improve its surface properties. [..]

Abstract:
This paper examined the suitability of thermally sprayed coatings for high-temperature corrosion protection. The coatings' resistance to abrasive wear and erosion, which, along with corrosion, are inherently damaging factors in power boilers, particularly fluidized bed boilers, was also determined. [..]

Abstract:
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) based on Lead-cooled Fast Reactor (LFR) technology represent a promising option for future nuclear energy systems due to their enhanced safety features and efficient fuel utilization. A critical challenge for SMR‑LFR deployment is the long-term compatibility of structural materials with liquid lead coolant under high-temperature and varying oxygen conditions.
This work presents a comparative investigation of the corrosion behavior of two candidate structural materials, the ferritic-martensitic steel T91 and the austenitic stainless steel 316L. [..]

Abstract:
Vitreous enamel coating is the final product of physicochemical reactions in the process of heat treatment of glass of complicated chemical composition with other components of inorganic nature, combining the properties of glass and ceramics with the ability to adhere to a metal substrate. Its main function is to protect the underlying metal against corrosive environments and high temperatures. [..]

Abstract:
Additive manufacturing (AM) has introduced a practical route to fabricate complex, patient-specific metallic implants with controlled architectures that are difficult to achieve through conventional processing. Titanium alloys, in particular, remain central to biomedical applications because they combine high specific strength, corrosion resistance, and biological compatibility. [..]

Abstract:
A composite chiller consisting of graphite foam infiltrated with pure zinc as a phase change material (PCM) and enclosed within a steel container was used to enhance heat transfer and accelerate the solidification of an Al-4.5 wt% Cu alloy. Cooling performance was evaluated using numerical simulation based on temperature-time diagrams, along with calculations of thermal gradient (G) and growth rate of the solidification front (R). [..]

Abstract:
The Ausmelt TSL pyrometallurgical process is efficient, environmentally friendly and flexible for processing a wide range of non-ferrous metal concentrates and secondary raw materials. The pursuit of environmentally friendly technologies and greater opportunities for processing a wide range of concentrates and various secondary materials has made this technological process the main one for lead smelting in recent decades.
As a model scheme, the one of KCM-AD, Plovdiv, Bulgaria - a major lead producer for Southeastern Europe - was used. [..]
