“…The limitations were verified during tests of the surveyed magnesium wheel (Figure 24). The results of the work [65] confirmed that the flow controlforming method employed for the manufacture of magnesium wheels decreases the deformation force. The improvement in deformability of the magnesium wheel rim and the impact of extrusion-shearing on the wheel require further studies.…”

This article provides a detailed review of the types of magnesium wheels available in the industry and the current methods of the wheels’ production. The past several years have seen a significant development of magnesium-based lightweight alloys employed as a structural material for modern light vehicles. Magnesium alloys are characterized by their low density while maintaining good mechanical properties. The use of these alloys in the industry enables vehicles’ weight reduction while increasing their technical parameters. The first part of the article presents the unique properties of magnesium alloys that determine the application of this material for lightweight vehicle wheels. The advantages of using magnesium wheels over aluminum wheels are also presented. Next, a classification of the types of magnesium wheels was made in regard to their construction, applications, and manufacturing methods. At present, magnesium wheels by construction can be classified according to their geometry as single parts or assembled parts. In reference to geometry, wheels can have different shapes: classic, multi-spoke, with holes, or with frames. Depending on the geometry used, magnesium wheels can have different parameters, such as their mounting hole spacing, wheel diameters, or rim width. Considering the applications in various industries, main distinctions can be made between magnesium wheels for automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, and wheelchairs. Magnesium wheels can also be categorized in regards to the manufacturing methods: casting, machining, forging, and hybrid manufacturing. The second part of the article focuses on the analysis of magnesium alloy wheel-manufacturing technologies used in the industry and developed by research centers. This article discusses these manufacturing technologies in detail and indicates prospective directions for further development.

“…[ 13 , 14 , 15 ] Various types of PCM have been incorporated into TPC to enhance wearer comfort and safety. [ 16 , 17 , 18 ] Furthermore, combining both aerogel and PCM with traditional fabrics has also improved thermal insulation properties. [ 19 , 20 , 21 ] However, limitations persist, particularly concerning the short duration of thermal protection and high moisture resistance inherent in these designs.…”

Thermal protective textiles are crucial for safeguarding individuals, particularly firefighters and steelworkers, against extreme heat, and for preventing burn injuries. However, traditional firefighting gear suffers from statically fixed thermal insulation properties, potentially resulting in overheating and discomfort in moderate conditions, and insufficient protection in extreme fire events. Herein, an innovative soft robotic textile is developed for dynamically adaptive thermal management, providing superior personal protection and thermal comfort across a spectrum of environmental temperatures. This unique textile features a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)‐sealed actuation system, embedded with a low boiling point fluid for reversible phase transition, resembling an endoskeleton that triggers an expansion within the textile matrix for enhanced air gap and thermal insulation. The thermal resistance improves automatically from 0.23 to 0.48 Km2 W−1 by self‐actuating under intense heat, exceeding conventional textiles by maintaining over 10 °C cooler temperatures. Additionally, the knitted substrate incorporated into the soft actuators can substantially mitigate convective heat transfer, as evidenced by the thermal resistance tests and the temperature mapping derived from numerical simulations. Moreover, it boasts significantly increased moisture permeability. The thermoadaptation and breathability of this durable all‐fabric system signify considerable progress in the development of protective clothing with high comfort for dynamic and extreme temperature conditions.

“…Casting is an essential process and technology in the field of machinery. The most used casting methods are centrifugal casting, sand casting, high-pressure casting and low-pressure casting (Wang et al , 2007; Zhao et al , 2017; Dabade and Bhedasgaonkar, 2013a; JIN et al , 2005). The advantages of sand casting are that the clay is rich in resources and cheap, high operational efficiency and extensive adaptability.…”
