Design and Development of a Lightweight Aluminium Cascade System for Type IV COPVs for Stationary and Mobile Applications2026-26-048501/16/2026
The global push for clean energy has made hydrogen a central element in decarbonizing transport, industrial processes, and energy systems. Effective hydrogen storage and distribution are critical to supporting this transition, and type IV Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessels (COPVs) have emerged as the preferred solution due to their lightweight, high pressure capacity, hydrogen embrittlement and corrosion resistance. However, the cascade infrastructure used to house and transport these vessels has lagged behind in innovation. Steel-based cascades, while strong, are heavy prone to corrosion, and unsuitable for mobile deployment. This paper introduces a custom designed aluminium cascade system offering a 65% weight reduction while maintaining structural integrity and safety. Designed for mobile use, the system features modularity, better damping, and enhanced corrosion protection. The paper outlines design methodology, material selection, fabrication process, and comparative

Hydrogen Embrittlement in Galvanized High Carbon Steel Components of Automotive Seat Slider Assembly2026-26-030201/16/2026
This research paper investigates the failure of an isolator clip used in the seat slider assembly, which guides and restricts the sliding motion of the tooth bracket within the seat. The component is made of C80 high-carbon spring steel, known for its high strength. According to the manufacturing process details, zinc plating was applied to the component for corrosion protection, as confirmed by EDS analysis. A fractographic examination of the failed part revealed a brittle, intergranular fracture morphology with visible cracks. Certain areas also exhibited micro-void coalescence, indicating a dimpled fracture surface. The primary failure mode was intergranular (IG) fracture. The delayed fracture was attributed to intergranular fracture mechanisms, micro-void coalescence, and the high strength of the steel, which made the component susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement. Hydrogen embrittlement occurs when hydrogen atoms become trapped along the grain boundaries, where they form hydrogen

Predictive Analysis and Risk Management of Nickel-Plated Aluminum Automotive Parts Exposed to Harsh Environmental Conditions2026-26-030501/16/2026
Aluminium is widely used across various industries due to its lightweight properties, high strength-to-weight ratio, and cost-effectiveness. However, its susceptibility to corrosion, particularly in harsh environmental conditions, presents challenges to its long-term durability and performance. To mitigate these issues, nickel plating was applied as a protective measure, creating a barrier to minimize aluminium’s direct exposure to corrosive environments and enhance its resistance to degradation. In this study, nickel-plated aluminium was subjected to controlled corrosion testing under simulated real-world conditions, including humidity, saline atmospheres. The primary objective was to evaluate the effectiveness and longevity of nickel plating as a corrosion prevention method. Periodic observations and measurements were conducted to monitor material changes, such as surface degradation, corrosion pattern and corrosion increasing rate. The findings highlight the critical role of plating

Virtual Paint Shop: Automotive E-coating Process2026-26-036501/16/2026
In automotive vehicle manufacturing, paint shop constitutes one of the highest energy intensive processes. This steers automotive OEMs to continuously improve production efficiency and reduce operational costs of the processes involved in paint shop through digital twin technologies. In addition, the push for shorter time-to-market emphasizes the need for simulation-based manufacturing processes, such as virtual testing and CAE simulations. The simulation-based processes enable faster and data-driven decision-making early in the product development cycle, thereby ultimately reducing cost and development time. Among the various stages in the paint shop, two of the important stages are: 1 Electro-dip coating (E-coating), also known as Electro-Deposition coating, which applies a corrosion-resistant primer to the Body-in-White (BIW). 2 Oven curing, which ensures the primer is properly bonded and cured for long-term protection and finish quality. To optimize the processes in these stages

Corrosion Behavioral Study of Sintered Materials with Ethanol-Blended Fuels2026-26-027701/16/2026
The increasing adoption of ethanol-blended fuels, such as E20 (20% ethanol and 80% gasoline) and E85 (85% ethanol and 15% gasoline), necessitates a comprehensive understanding of their compatibility with automotive engine components to ensure durability and operational reliability. Fuel compatibility is particularly critical for components in direct contact with ethanol-rich fuels, as improper material selection or insufficient testing can lead to corrosion, material degradation, and compromised engine performance. This study focuses on evaluating the behavior of sintered materials extracted from potential fuel-contact part of automotive engine when exposed to E20 and E85 fuels. Testing was conducted in accordance with the SAE J1747 standard, which provides a systematic approach for assessing corrosion resistance and material degradation in fuel environments.

Wetting Prediction of Power Train Components under the Influence Moving Components using Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics2026-26-038401/16/2026
Passenger cars are subjected to extensive conditions ranging from driving through wet roads, water puddles, icy roads, and rain. This can affect the performance of different parts over time, one such aspect is the vehicle corrosion, whose impact is felt on a wide spectrum from aesthetics to safety due to loss of material. The general condition for corrosion mainly requires electrolyte to be present on the metal surface, which is transported through self-soiling and foreign soiling. Vehicle soiling is an important aspect for vehicle design. Amongst the many aspects of vehicle soiling, one important aspect is the prediction of water accumulation that enables prediction of corrosion sensitive regions in the vehicle. Power train components like Engine, transmission and corresponding wiring harness are at highest risk of water-wetting, As the vehicle drives through the water puddle the components are not just wet by the direct inflow of water but also by water being splashed by moving

Analysis of Dynamic Characteristics of Half-Through Arch Bridge under Vehicle-Bridge Coupling2025-99-022312/23/2025
The half-through arch bridge, known for its efficient structural design and seamless integration with the surrounding environment, is widely utilized in urban transportation infrastructure. However, during operation, the hangers of the through and half-through arch bridge are exposed to various factors, including environmental conditions and cyclic traffic loads, which often cause the hanger of these bridges to rust and fracture, will lead to structural damage or even the collapse of the entire bridge. Therefore, investigating the dynamic performance of half-through arch bridges, both before and after hanger damage, under vehicle-bridge coupling is of paramount importance for understanding the overall performance of the bridge. In this study, a half-through arch bridge was selected as the subject of investigation. A three-dimensional finite element model of the bridge was developed based on real-world engineering projects, and a numerical simulation of the vehicle-bridge coupling

Experimental Research on MFL Detection Technology for Corrosion Damage of Prestressing Tendons in Bridges2025-99-020312/23/2025
Corrosion of prestressed tendons endangers the safety of bridges, but until now, there has been no effective method to solve the problem of detecting corrosion damage in prestressed tendons of concrete beams. To address this, a magnetic flux leakage detection experimental apparatus for corrosion damage in prestressed tendons based on the principle of magnetic flux leakage inspection has been developed. Using this apparatus, magnetic flux leakage tests were conducted on prestressed tendons after electrochemical corrosion, and the results were compared with simulation analysis to conduct a comparative study. In the experiments, the influence of corrosion severity, corrosion width, and the effect of stirrups on the characteristics of the magnetic flux leakage signals were studied. Magnetic signal feature values were extracted, and a quantification neural network model for corrosion damage was established, which is used to quantify the degree of corrosion damage in prestressed tendons.

The application of Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBC) has been widely utilized in aerospace turbines to enhance the operational temperature and thermal efficiency of titanium alloys, while preserving their properties such as low density, creep resistance, and corrosion resistance. TBC systems typically consist of a metallic substrate, a metallic coating (Bond Coat), a thermally grown oxide (TGO), and a ceramic topcoat (TC). This study investigated the fracture surface characteristics of Ti-6Al-4V with TBC after a creep test at a constant temperature of 600 °C, under stress levels of 125, 222, and 319 MPa, in order to understand the mechanisms involved. The TBC was composed of a NiCrAlY (BC) and a zirconia co-doped with yttria and nióbia (TC). The fracture characterization of the alloy after the creep test was conducted through stereoscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The fracture mechanism at 600 °C and 222 MPa was predominantly ductile, as evidenced by the presence of dimples and

Research on Invasion Line Control of Deep Foundation Pit Diaphragm Wall Excavation Based on Space-time Effect2025-99-031612/17/2025
The study focuses on the management of deep foundation pit excavation, influenced by temporal and spatial factors, in the context of the challenging environmental circumstances posed by the high-water-level silty soft clay along the Yellow River's northern shore, as part of the Jinan urban rail transit initiative. The subsequent inferences have been made: (1) Throughout the digging phase, issues such as excessive digging and delays in installing steel reinforcements occur, while the subterranean diaphragm wall tends to shift significantly inward within the excavation area due to the disparity in pressure between the water and soil inside and outside. (2) During the building phase, managing wall distortion is imperative, and an enhanced preliminary force should be applied to the support's axial component at points of significant deformation, guaranteeing an excess coefficient for both the support rigidity and the continuous subterranean wall rigidity. (3) In the process of diaphragm

Establishing the Method for Simulation of Electric Potential in Cooling Water Passages of Outboard Motors2025-32-000811/03/2025
Producing 3D models of cooling water passages of outboard motors, and calculating distribution of electric potential on the water passage surfaces using BEM, we have developed the new method for simulation of electric potential distribution. The outboard motor is a propulsion system attached to the transom of the boat with steering function. As the water around the boat is drawn in for cooling of the engine, the engine parts are susceptible to severe corrosion. As a means to help prevent corrosion, a part referred to as the anode metal, which has a lower natural potential, is provided. Such a method is called the sacrifice protection because the anode metal corrodes before the engine parts due to the difference of electric potential. Since anti-corrosion currents occur preferentially to areas close to the anode metal, the anode metal is required to be located at the most effective place for corrosion protection. However, there are certain restrictions in the layout of anode metal from

Analysis on the Effect of Assembling Prefabricated Components of Assembled Subway Stations under Different Block Types2025-99-007610/17/2025
With the rise of prefabricated metro stations in metro construction, the selection of its block type has become a key issue under specific stratigraphic conditions. In this paper, three types of prefabricated metro stations (Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3) are studied in the stratum of a metro station in Shenzhen as an example. Through MIDAS GTS NX, a single-ring stratum-structure model is established and the same calculation step is set to analyse the mechanical response of precast component assembly to the concrete at the bottom of the pit and the bottom slab. In terms of the concrete at the base of the footing, the stress of Type 3 has an advantage but the overall fluctuation is complicated, the stress of Type 2 fluctuates greatly and the stress of some nodes is high, and the change of Type 1 is relatively smooth; in terms of deformation, Type 2 and Type 3 settle symmetrically, and the influence of Type 2 is small. For precast structural base plate, stress on type 3 part of the stage of

Effects of Moisture Behavior on Corrosion Stiction in Friction Materials2025-01-033309/15/2025
This study investigates the correlation between moisture behavior and corrosion stiction mechanisms in NAO friction materials. While previous studies on corrosion stiction have primarily focused on electrochemical approaches, this study aims to elucidate the mechanism by examining moisture behavior within the friction material. Although recent research has investigated changes in pad properties in humid environments, most studies have primarily focused on variations in pad stiffness and the friction coefficient. To date, no studies have investigated the behavior of moisture within pads using Fick’s Second Law and its impact on corrosion stiction. In this study, Fick’s Second Law was applied to model moisture behavior in friction materials. The diffusion coefficient and maximum moisture content were quantified, revealing that moisture behavior in the friction material can be divided into two distinct stages: one following Fick’s Second Law and the other not. For NAO friction materials

Investigating Lubricants Base Oils Reactivity in Ammonia Engines via Accelerated Aging2025-01-024006/16/2025
As a carbon-free molecule, ammonia is more and more considered as a relevant fuel for long distance and off-road applications. However, this gas has different combustion characteristics compared to conventional fuels, challenging the suitability of lubricants to such engines. In this work, the evolution of lubricants under conditions mimicking ammonia combustion was assessed. Mineral and polyester lubricant base oils were exposed to oxygen, nitrogen oxides, and ammonia in a pressurized reactor under stirring. Oil aliquots were sampled at regular intervals, and characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), viscosity and total oxygen and nitrogen contents measurements. Exposure to air containing nitrogen oxides resulted in quicker accumulation of oxidation products compared to neat air, for both the mineral and complex polyester base oil. Besides, exposure to gaseous ammonia in air resulted in a slower oxidation rate for both oils, compared to neat air. A global

Modern Low Friction Coating Technology for Automotive Tribology2025-01-024706/16/2025
The aim of this work is to present the overviewing results of the low friction coating technology for modern automotive application with the themes, e.g. electric vehicle (EV), R&D trends and bioethanol fuel application. According to Forbes, China, armed with EV, could have several companies among the top 10 global brands by sales in 2030. EV’s friction is more severe than traditional powertrain friction. For the protection of EV’s wear and friction, the coatings, diamond like carbon (DLC) and CrCuN, are compared in the literature. Global coating companies developed with the keywords: hybrid process, low-temperature coating process for polymer material. Last coating conferences showed R&D trends: coating for polymer materials, tetrahedral amorphous carbon (taC) coating, low-temperature coating process and multi-elements containing coatings. In Korea, research institutions, universities and Hyundai Motor Group have a long-term project for the development of ultralow friction coatings of

Advanced Laser Welding Techniques for Titanium Pacemaker Housing: Achieving Precision, Reliable and Hermetic SealingTBMG-5325806/03/2025
A pacemaker is a small device that helps control your heartbeat so you can return to your normal life. It has three main parts: a pulse generator that creates electrical signals, a controller-monitor that manages these signals, and leads that deliver the signals to the heart. One key benefit of the pacemaker is its strong titanium casing. Titanium is very strong and lightweight, and it is biocompatible, meaning it works well with the body without causing harmful reactions. This metal is highly resistant to corrosion, which helps keep the casing intact and protective even when exposed to bodily fluids.
A Successful Catalyst Design for Advanced Zinc-Iodine BatteriesTBMG-5320606/01/2025
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have attracted extensive attention due to their high safety, abundant reserves, and environmental friendliness. Iodine with high abundance in seawater (55 μg L-1) is highly promising for fabricating zinc-iodine batteries due to its high theoretical capacity (211 mAh g-1) and appropriate redox potential (0.54V). However, the low electrical conductivity of iodine hinders the redox conversion for an efficient energy storage process with zinc. Additionally, the formed soluble polyiodides are prone to migrate to the Zn anode, leading to capacity degradation and Zn corrosion.
Wear Protection for Electrified Transmissions Using e-Fluids without Active Sulfur04-18-03-001505/08/2025
In electrified drivetrains, lubricants are commonly in contact with the motor and other electrical components as well as the gears and bearings. Copper, present in these electrical components, is susceptible to corrosion by fluids containing active sulfur, which can lead to catastrophic failure of the unit. Lubricating fluids for electric vehicles (referred to as e-fluids) must not cause corrosion and must maintain high performance while having suitable electrical conductivity, material compatibility, and heat transfer properties. We describe a new formulation without active sulfur that has recently entered the market, which can protect against copper corrosion. We show that this e-fluid can provide suitable wear protection under field trial conditions, and that the e-fluid provides improved wear protection in bearing (FE-8) tests compared to a traditional extreme pressure axle fluid (API GL-4).
