Soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) has been used to study the influence of Si ion implantation on the passive layer of AISI 304 stainless steel, as well as on its high-temperature oxidation behaviour. Ion implantation is a usual technique to improve the corrosion and oxidation resistance of steels. To study the effects of ion implantation on the room temperature corrosion behavior of AISI...

In this research work a series of tests were conducted in order to determine flank wear and cutting force FY on hard AISI 440 C martensitic stainless steel and SCM 440 alloy steels. The operating parameters are cutting speed, feed rate and a constant depth of cut to investigate the flank wear and cutting force. No cutting fluid was used during the turning process. The cutting tool used was CBN ...

This paper presents a series of tests on cold-formed stainless steel bolted connections. The test specimens were fabricated from three different types of stainless steel, including austenitic stainless steel EN1.4301 (AISI 304) and EN1.4571 (AISI 316Ti having small amount of titanium) as well as lean duplex stainless steel EN1.4162 (AISI S32101). The material properties of the three types of st...

This paper aims at investigating the effect of graphene reinforced Al-Si coatings on corrosion behavior AA7075 aluminium alloy. Al - 12Si alloy powder with 0.5 and 1 wt.% was plasma sprayed substrate. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements were performed using CHI660E-CH electrochemical workstation. It observed that coating enhanced potential from –0.893 to –0.761 V reduced current density 1...
