Recently, wear resistant properties of metallic glasses has attracted a lot of interest. Because the surface of metallic glasses are prone to phase transformation, finding the effects of test condition on structure and wear behavior of metallic glasses is important. In this research, by using an automated electrospark deposition (ESD), a layer of Fe51Cr18Mo7B16C4Nb4 was deposited on AISI 316l s...

in the present work, the aa2124/25vol.%mosi2 composite was produced by powder metallurgy technique. the aluminum alloy 2124 powder was produced by gas atomization method and the mosi2 intermetallic particles were produced through combustion synthesis. the aa2124 matrix powder was mechanically blended with 25vol.%mosi2 using a ball milling mixer. the blended powder mixture was encapsulated and t...

This study investigates the wear resistance of four AA6061 MMCs together with the monolithic AA6061 alloy, all in the T6 condition, using a pin-on-disc test. In addition to the widely studied 20 vol.% Saffil MMCs, the present investigation considered a hybrid of 11% Saffil + 20% Sic, and a high volume fraction Sic, MMC. AA6061 + 60% Sic,. The wear behaviour against P400 Sic grit adhesive bonded...

The role of salivary media is essential during mastication and ingestion processes; yet it can hinder the performance of foreign materials in the oral cavity. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of applied load and applied electrical potential on the tribo-corrosion mechanisms of 316L stainless steel in an environment similar to oral cavity conditions. 316L stainless steel is a mat...

Stainless steel 316L has widely used as bioimplants in cranial plates, dental implants, bone fracture fixation, prothestic joints. However, low wear resistance, in some cases susceptibility to pitting and crevice corrosion in body environment and release of toxic ions from the surface are the basic disadvantages which this material prone to be. It has still applied as a temporary biomaterial du...

Hard turning is the latest technology and is used to turn hard materials by using cutting tools like CBN and PCBN. Certain hard materials like titanium, Inconel and stainless steel are pronounced as difficult to cut materials. The superior cutting tools effectively machine such hard materials and produces desirable surface roughness with less tool wear. The present research was carried on hard ...

The use of Fe-Al intermetallic compound coatings has been investigated in order to improve the tribological behaviour of carbon tool steel. The coatings were formed by a pack cementation process and subsequently diffusion annealing at 900˚C in an argon controlled atmosphere. The optimum diffusion time was selected on the basis of optimum thickness and tribological behaviour. The microstructure...

The present article studied the effect of ultrasonic surface rolling process (USRP) on the microstructure and wear behavior of a selective laser melted Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Surface characteristics were investigated using optical microscope, nano-indentation, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope and laser scanning confocal microscope. Results indicated that the thickness of...

Wear tests were carried out on different DLC coatings under lubricated and dry slip-rolling friction in a Twin-Disc Testing rig. The analysis of Acoustic Emission (AE) provided an easy and comfortable tool for monitoring the wear life of DLC coatings. A DLC coating in-service was indicated by the appearance of no or just single AE events due to single damages (crack, small spallings, etc.) to t...
