Article Abstract
This article presents the wear characteristics of the working surface of WC-Co (Tungsten Carbide-Cobalt) tungsten carbide tools obtained using the innovative U-FAST (Upgraded Field-Assisted Sintering Technology) method for particleboard machining. Three groups of tools with a similar chemical composition but differing WC (Tungsten Carbide) grain sizes were tested. Milling tests were carried out on a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine tool with the following cutting parameters: spindle rotation at 15,000 rpm, a feed rate of 0.25 mm per tooth, and a feed rate of 3.75. The experimental results show that tools with submicron WC grit sizes of 0.4 µm and 0.8 µm have the longest tool life. Wear of the cutting edges occurred through the removal of the cobalt bond between the tungsten carbide grains, leading to fracture and mechanical removal of the grains from the cutting edge surface. The similarities in the relative wear characteristics of blades with submicron tungsten carbide grain sizes suggest that micro-abrasion and bond phase extrusion may be the main wear mechanisms under the experimental conditions. Nanometric WC grain size significantly influences tool wear through chipping and cracking.

To investigate the effects of nine polishing protocols on the bonding interface of three types of resin-based ceramic onlays, aiming to identify efficient and reasonable polishing procedures for each type of resin-based ceramic. Forty-six extracted molars were selected and symmetrically sectioned mesiodistally (=92). After preparing 2 mm deep box-shaped cavities on the buccal and lingual surfaces, the samples were randomly divided into four groups (23): LU group (Lava Ultimate), VE group (Vita Enamic), H group (Zirconia-Reinforced Resin-Based Ceramic), and Si group (glass ceramic).

Background: The use of patient-specific apertures in pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy improves target conformity but increases secondary neutron production and induces aperture activation. While brass is commonly used for apertures, Cerrobend and tungsten carbide may offer cost-effective alternatives.
Purpose: This study evaluates the viability of Cerrobend and tungsten carbide for PBS apertures by examining secondary neutron production and activation using Tool for Particle Simulation (TOPAS).

Tungsten carbide (WC)-based nanomaterials are considered as promising and efficient electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) owing to their Pt-like electronic structures. However, the coexistence of multiple crystalline phases of WC, including WC, WC, and WC, poses a challenge in identifying the active phase and optimizing catalytic performance. Herein, we present an effective approach to regulate the crystalline phase of WC-based catalysts by precisely tailoring the type of anions in the cobalt (Co) precursors.

Durable and highly active oxygen electrocatalysts are crucial to the large-scale application of rechargeable zinc-air batteries. Here we utilize the N unit in phthalocyanine molecule to trap the tungsten atoms scratched off from the tungsten carbide milling balls and place the obtained W-N unit adjacent to the Fe-N units from iron (Ⅱ) phthalocyanine, resulting in highly active Fe-N/W-N diatomic sites with well-pronounced 3d-5d hybrid for efficient and durable oxygen electrocatalysis. The electron distribution of the Fe-N site is optimized by the neighboring W-N site, which facilitates the O activation and the desorption of *OH and enhances the catalytic activity of the Fe-N site.
