Microstructural evolutions and impact toughness in simulated welding heat affected zones for a high-strength carbide-free bainitic rail steel

Systematic experimental investigations were conducted to study the microstructures and impact toughness of each heat affected zone (HAZ) formed during rail flash-butt welding. A high-strength carbide-free bainitic rail steel was subjected to different thermal simulation cycles to separately reproduce each HAZ subzone by tailoring the peak...

Tuning electron transfer by crystal facet engineering of BiVO₄ for boosting visible-light driven photocatalytic reduction of bromate

Removal of bromate (BrO₃⁻) has gained increasing attention in drinking water treatment process. Photocatalysis technology is an effective strategy for bromate removal. During the photocatalytic reduction of bromate process, the photo-generated electrons are reductive species toward bromate reduction and photo-generated...
