Plasma-sprayed coatings of Al-Si/B4C have been prepared on Al-Si piston alloys for diesel engine motors. The Al-Si/B4C composite powders including 5-25 wt% B4C were prepared by mixing and ball-milling processes. These ...

The principle aim of this paper is to investigate effects on performance of protective multilayer coatings with Cr2O3/Mo/cast iron architecture in order to use in an internal combustion engines. With this regard, Cr2O3 ...

In order to protect machining parts against wear and corrosion in automotive, aerospace, pulp and paper industries, they are coated with Mo-based materials. For these specific applications, Mo coatings were fabricated on ...

The present work deals with applicability of the fly ash (thermal power plant waste) as a coating onto the steel substrates by means of plasma spray coating technology. Plasma sprayed fly ash coatings obtained with and ...

The principle aim of this paper is to investigate the performance of protective multilayer coatings with Al2O3-TiO2/Mo/cast iron architecture in order to use in internal combustion engines. With this regard, alumina-titania ...

Wear measurements are notoriously variable. Even the experiments with the same type of material and test machine can give significantly different results. Such discrepancies are mostly due to a lack of adequate control of ...

Aluminum-silicon based hybrid composites reinforced with silicon carbide and graphite particles were prepared by liquid phase particle mixing (melt stirring) and squeeze casting. The thermal expansion and thermal conductivity ...
