The present study is dealing with surface hardening of the low carbon steels. In this study, the microstructure and wear behavior of detonation pulse plasma treated AISI 8620 steel was evaluated. The conventional carburizing ...

In this study, an investigation of the effects of ceramic coatings on diesel engine performance and exhaust emissions was presented. Tests were carried out a range of engine speeds at low, middle and high load conditions ...

In this study, low pressure plasma spraying (LPPS) demonstrated as a viable technique to producing fine-grained samples from complex Mo-Si-B intermetallics. Microstructure and oxidation behavior of the coatings were studied.

Ti-6Al-4V alloys, which were exposed to an explosive shock process, were nitrided in nitrogen plasma in the temperature range of 700-900degreesC for 3-12 h. During the plasma nitriding, the surface layer consisted of TiN ...

In the present study, Ni coatings have been deposited on glass microscope slides at substrate temperatures of 300, 350, 400 and 450 degreesC. The depositions were performed by evaporating the metallic Ni source in a ...

The alkali-fusion method was carried out by reacting chromite concentrate with molten sodium hydroxide under oxidizing conditions to form sodium chromate. The fusion product was leached with methanol to remove the unreacted ...

Plasma spraying, originally a surfacing technology used for ceramic coating of metal and non-metal substrates, is also suitable for the production of bulk ceramics, such as pipes, crucibles and sensors, etc. from various ...

Zinc oxide varistor has classically been prepared by conventional ceramic techniques. In this study, ZnO varistor powder with homogeneous distribution grain size and shape is prepared by both controlled chemical process ...
