Article Abstract
22MnB5 hot forming steel is widely used in the automotive industry due to the increasing demand for lightweight vehicles. As surface oxidation and decarburization occur during hot stamping processes, an Al-Si coating is often precoated on surfaces. The coating tends to melt into the melt pool during the laser welding of the matrix and reduce the strength of the welded joint; therefore, it should be removed. The decoating process by sub-nanosecond and picosecond lasers and process parameter optimization were conducted in this paper. The corresponding analysis of the different decoating processes, the mechanical properties and the elemental distribution was carried out after laser welding and heat treatment. It was found that the Al element has an influence on the strength and elongation of the welded joint. The high-power picosecond laser has a better removal effect than the lower power sub-nanosecond laser. The best mechanical properties of the welded joint were obtained under the process conditions of 1064 nm center wavelength, 15 kW power, 100 kHz frequency, and 0.1 m/s speed. In addition, the content of the coating metal elements (mainly Al) melted into the welded joint is reduced with increasing coating removal width, which significantly improves the mechanical properties of the welded joints. Al in the coating rarely melts into the welding pool when the coating removal width is not less than 0.4 mm, and its mechanical properties can meet the automotive stamping requirements for the welded plate.

Super austenitic stainless steels (SASS) face challenges like galvanic corrosion and antibacterial performance when welded to carbon steel (Q235) in marine environments. This study demonstrates that adding 1.0 wt% cerium (Ce) to SASS refines the heat-affected zone (HAZ) grain structure (from 7 μm to 2 μm), suppresses detrimental σ-phase precipitation, and forms a dense oxide film.

Despite significant advancements in aerogels science, the fabrication of high-performance aerogels with their plastic processability remains unexplored owing to their inherent trade-off between skeletal rigidity and transformable processability. Herein, a universal solubility-pKa coupling-effect to engineer high-performance thermoplastic nylon aerogel family with excellent thermomechanical processing performance is proposed. By modulating solubility parameters and acid dissociation constants in nylon-solvent systems, it is precisely control crystallization to assemble interlaced 1D nanofiber skeletons, yielding nylon aerogels that integrate a high specific surface area (226 m g), exceptional compressive modulus (12.

In high-altitude corrosive environments, weathering steel is widely applied due to its excellent corrosion resistance. However, the welded joint regions, where the chemical composition and microstructure undergo changes, are susceptible to the corrosion-induced degradation of mechanical properties. This study investigates the corrosion-mechanical synergistic degradation behavior of a 16 mm thick Q500 qENH base metal and its V-type and Y-type welded joint specimens.

Passenger cars have unibody constructions, which means that their collision damage often involves key structural components. Successful repair requires the selection of appropriate technology and adherence to quality standards, which directly affects the safety of the vehicle's continued operation. A commonly used method is a system of replacing damaged components with new ones, while repair by molding and forming is also possible-provided the original structural features are preserved.
