    Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) requires application of powders with specific characteristics. These are near-spherical shape of particles, uniform elemental composition, typical particle size of 5 - 70 mu m, etc. Such powders are produced by spheroidization methods. They have such disadvantages as high cost and sale only in large quantities. There are publications describing application in LPBF powders, produced by the methods, alternative to spheroidiz,ation. In the current study, powders of pure raw Co, Cr and Mo were used for the production of Co-Cr-Mo powder mixture. Samples of Co-28 wt.% Cr-6 wt.% Mo alloy were produced by LPBF from this powder mixture. Due to the difference between melting temperatures of Co, Cr and Mo, inclusions of Cr and Mo were formed within the bulk of samples. Studies of phase and elemental composition, structure and microhardness of the as-produced samples and after post-treatment with varied duration are represented. As-produced samples have non-uniform elemental composition and are represented by the main Co-based phase. Increasing the annealing duration leads to the sequential dissolution of un-melted Cr and Mo inclusions. Complete dissolution of Cr particles was observed at 10 hours of treatment and complete dissolution of Mo particles was not observed after 20 hours of annealing. Microhardness non-linearly changes with the increasing duration of annealing. This is due to the phase transformations and diffusion processes occurring at such type of post-treatment. Complete dissolution of Mo-particles could be achieved by further increasing the annealing time or by varying the mode of laser powder bed fusion

    The microstructural investigation, mechanical properties, and accumulation and dissipation of energies of the magnesium alloy Mg-2.9Y-1.3Nd in the recrystallized state and after severe plastic deformation (SPD) by extrusion are presented. The use of SPD provides the formation of a bimodal structure consisting of grains with an average size 15 µm and of ultrafine-grained grains with sizes less than 1 µm and volume fractions up to 50%, as well as of the fine particles of the second Mg24Y5 phases. It is established that grain refinement during extrusion is accompanied by an increase of the yield strength, increase of the tensile strength by 1.5 times, and increase of the plasticity by 1.8 times, all of which are due to substructural hardening, redistribution of the phase composition, and texture formation. Using infrared thermography, it was revealed that before the destruction of Mg-2.9Y-1.3Nd in the recrystallized state, there is a sharp jump of temperature by 10 ◦C, and the strain hardening coefficient becomes negative and amounts to (−6) GPa. SPD leads to a redistribution of thermal energy over the sample during deformation, does not cause a sharp increase in temperature, and reduces the strain hardening coefficient by 2.5 times

    Near-Unity Quantum Yields for Intersystem Crossing and Singlet Oxygen Generation in Polymethine-like Molecules: Design and Experimental Realization

    The photophysical properties of two pairs of squaraine molecules where two oxygen atoms in a squaraine bridge are replaced with sulfur atoms are investigated. This substitution leads to an inversion of the lowest singlet π−π* electronic transition by an n−π* transition, effectively reducing the energy difference between singlet and triplet states and significantly increasing the intersystem crossing efficiency without the use of “heavy atoms”. Experimental results, in agreement with quantum chemical calculations, show near-unity values for triplet quantum yield and singlet oxygen generation quantum yield for sulfur-containing squaraines, which are potentially useful for two-photon photodynamic therapy
