In this study, fracture toughness properties of boronized ductile iron were investigated. Boronizing was realized in a salt bath consisting of borax, boric acid and ferro-silicon. Boronizing heat treatment was carried out ...

Multilayer TiAlN and AlN coatings were deposited from two targets onto high speed steel (HSS) and hard metal (HM) substrates by pulsed DC magnetron sputtering. TiAl target power was held constant while aluminum target power ...

The grain growth kinetics in the 1, 2, 3 and 4 wt.% CuO doped ZnO was studied using the simplified phenomenological grain growth kinetics equation G(n) - G(o)(n) = K-o . t . exp(-Q/RT) together with microstructure properties ...

In this work, the tribological behavior of hardened, tufftrited, titanium nitride coated, boronized, chromium carbide coated and vanadium carbide coated AISI 52100 steel balls against titanium nitride coated AISI 1020 steel ...

The tensile and fatigue properties of zinc-aluminum alloys (ZA-8, ZA-12 and ZA-27) in squeeze and gravity cast forms have been investigated. Tensile tests were conducted at ambient and elevated temperatures up to 150 degrees ...

In this work, wear mechanisms of boride coating on pure tungsten using a pin-on-disk tribometer were investigated. The surface analysis after wear tests was conducted using an atomic force microscope (AFM). Research results ...

In this study, Al2O3 and Al2O3-13 wt% TiO2 were plasma sprayed onto AISI 316L stainless-steel substrate with and without Ni-5 wt% Al as bond coat layer. The coated specimens were characterized by optical microscopy, ...
