Nickel chromium (NiCr) powders with different titanium diboride (TiB2) additions (20, 40 and 60 wt %) were prepared with a mechanical alloying method and then sprayed using an air plasma spraying technology. The microstructure and phase composite of the powders and the cross-sections of deposited coatings were analyzed with a scanning electronic microscope and X-ray diffraction. The tribologica...

The surface characteristics of an aluminium alloy treated with a commercial chromate pretreatment have been studied by SAM, EDX and XPS. XPS indicates that the chromium is present in the conversion coating as both Cr(III) and Cr(VI) species, and that other components are present at the conversion coating surface, some in a reduced form. The deposition of the chromate layer is compromised by the...

The reduction of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) by zero-valent iron (ZVI) is self-inhibiting in near natural groundwater because insulating Fe(III)-Cr(III) (oxy)hydroxide film forms on the ZVI surface during the reaction. This study tries to overcome this deficiency by coating the surface of ZVI with copper to form copper-iron bimetallic particles. The Cr(VI) removal rate by ZVI rose significantl...

Nickel based superalloy are in demand for high temperature applications and their corrosion, erosion wear resistance have been investigated a long time. chromium (NiCr) alloys widely used corrosion resistant coatings, while carbide nickel (CrC-NiCr) preferred coatings at temperature. In this study CrNiAlCY were deposited via liquid fuelled velocity oxy fuel (HVOF) thermal spray using two parame...

Conventional electroless nickel–boron deposits are produced using solutions that contain lead or thallium, which must be eliminated due to their toxicity. In this research, were in a stabilizer-free bath does not include any toxic heavy metal. During processing, the plating rate increased from 10 14.5 µm/h by decreasing concentration of reducing agent, leading stability. The thickness, composit...

Motivated by observations of the subglacial drainage of water, we consider a hydraulic fracture problem in which the crack grows parallel to a free surface, subject to fully turbulent fluid flow. Using a hybrid Chebyshev=series-minimization numerical approach, we solve for the pressure profile, crack opening displacement, and crack growth rate for a crack that begins relatively short but eventu...

Synthesis of functionally gradient coating was the main goal of researches to cover some deficiencies of metallic coatings. In this study, a new strategy for generating functionally gradient coatings of nickel-chromium on a carbon steel substrate using pulse electrodeposition has been presented. The gradual changes of the duty cycle and pulse frequency were used to generate the functionally gra...

Aluminium and its alloys are widely used in the aviation sector due to their lightweight and their high specific strength. They require surface treatments in order to improve their corrosion resistance, such as anodising which has traditionally carried out using a chromic acid bath. Although chromium has been regularly used in industry for more than a century, progressively restrictions and rig...

ABSTRACRT: Over a period of time a number of biomaterials have been developed and are used for hard tissue and joint replacement those are Stainless steel (SS-316L), Co-Cr alloy, Titanium (Ti) and its alloy, ceramics and Polymer especially Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) and Alumina (Al2O3). These biomaterials for its suitable mechanical properties, nontoxic behavior, and bio-...
