Hard turning offers improved manufacturing efficiency but requires great control of the cutting process to achieve required machining-induced surface integrity with respect residual stresses, topography, and near-surface microstructure. This research work is focused on studying effect speed, feed rate, depth cut, chamfer angle, coolant pressure after hard martensitic AISI 52100 steel. The resul...

INTRODUCTION White Structure Flaking (WSF) is a type of surface damage responsible for some early failures in wind turbine gearbox bearings. WSF has been associated with microstructural changes registered close to the damaged surface that appear to be white after etching, hence the name White Etching Areas (WEAs). Local hydrogen liberation from lubricants [2] and adiabatic shear bands [3] have...

Phosphorus L-edge and oxygen K-edge X-ray PhotoEmission Electron Microscopy (XPEEM) have been used to characterize the chemical nature of the cation present in tribochemical films via comparison with model Fe and Zn compounds. The results are contrasted to the P L-edge, P K-edge and S K-edge XANES data. The findings suggest that antiwear pads containing long chain zinc polyphosphate glass are f...

Abrasive machining is one of the most non-conventional processes for finishing. It is widely used in industry to machine the materials like mild steel, aluminum, copper, titanium, glass, hard rock material, graphite, composite material, ceramics etc.Like in abrasive jet machining. This technique uses jet which contains abrasive material. Now a day water-magnetic abrasive machining is one of the...

The deposition of highly adherent carbon nitride (CNx) films using a pretreatment with two high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS) power supplies in a master-slave configuration is reviewed. SKF3 (AISI 52100) steel substrates were pretreated in the environment of a high ionized Cr+Ar plasma in order to sputter clean the surface and implant Cr metal ions. CNx films were subsequently dep...
