Surface preparation techniques such as plasma spraying, physical vapour deposition and chemical vapour deposition have been used to make convenient material combinations for the use in high-technology requirements. ...

In this investigation, thermal and structural finite element analysis has been employed to analyse the level of stresses developed in Al2O3-spherical cast iron (SG), ZrO2-(12% Si + Al) and ZrO2-SG coatings subjected to ...

Alumina is widely selected in the design of components for high engineering applications mainly because of its high wear resistance, high compressive strength, low specific density and high temperature capability. Processing ...

The aim of this study is to increase power/weight ratio of a steel-alloyed vehicle body without any structural weakness and to use an integrated engineering solution of "computer-aided design, engineering and optimization ...

In this study structural strength and fatigue life estimation of Y32 bogie frame were examined by finite element method. A static structural and fatigue life simulation were performed according to TS EN 13749 standard. The ...

Because of thermal barrier properties, ceramic-based coatings are widely used for the design of components at high temperature applications. Therefore, 304 L stainless steel substrates were coated with MgZrO3 coatings using ...

In this investigation, a transient thermal and structure finite element solution has been employed to analyse the level of the thermal stresses developed in plasma coating systems subjected to thermal loading. Plasma coating ...
