In this work SBA-15, a melamine-based functionalized SBA-15 mesoporous silica with a dicationic ionic liquid was used in order to improve the physicochemical properties of phosphoric acid doped polybenzimidazole membranes for application in HT-PEMFCs.
This study was aimed at developing lead-free brass alloys with the goal of substituting lead element with tin. For this purpose, lead-free alloys with tin were developed and the microstructure, hardness and machining behaviour of the Cu–30%Zn alloy was compared with Cu–30%Zn– x%Sn ( x = 1.2, 3.2, 5.4, 8, 11.4, 13.9, 17.4). The results showed that the addition of Sn to single-α phase brass led to the formation of duplex (α + β′) brass and then the formation of (β ′ + Ɣ ) brass both with increased hardness. In addition, the addition of Sn to Cu–30%Zn alloy led to the decrement of equivalent machining forces ( Fm), surface roughness and also the promotion of chip fragmentation due to the formation of the β ′ phase, which is an improvement in machinability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
