In this study, an attempt has been made to examine the wear response of some modified Zn-Al based alloys and a conventional bearing bronze (SAE 660) at the sliding speeds of 0.5 ms(-1), I ms(-1), 1.3 ms(-1), 1.7 ms(-1) and ...

In this study, the effect of silver (0, 0.2, 0.5, and 1 wt.%) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a magnesium-based alloy (Mg-Al 6 wt.%-Sn 1 wt.%-Mn 0.3 wt.%-Ti 0.3 wt.%) were investigated. The alloys were ...

Conventional pressure die casting was used to produce ZA 27 alloy and zinc-aluminum composites with alumina short fibers (Saffil(TM)). While the Brinell hardness of the matrix alloy increased with increasing Saffil fiber ...

It is known that the strength of a metal, as well as wear resistance can be successfully improved by fiber reinforcement. In this study, multiple-layer feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) modeling for tribological ...

In this study, metal-matrix composites of an aluminum-silicon based alloy (LM6) and Al2O3 particles with volume fractions of 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15 and in size of 44, 85 and 125 mu m were produced using pressure die-casting ...

Thick, mullite-based plasma electrolytic oxide (PEO) coatings, designed for a combination of wear-protection and thermal protection, have been produced on 6082 aluminium alloy substrates under various conditions (electrolyte, ...

In this study, the effect of tin addition (0, 0.5,1, 2 and 4 wt% Sn) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a magnesium-based alloy (AM60) were investigated. The alloys were produced under a controlled atmosphere ...
