The abrasive wear of nanocrystalline Ni–W alloys with grain sizes of 5–105 nm has been studied using Taber abrasion testing. The wear resistance of the finest grain size specimen is found to be higher than would be predicted based on hardness alone. This deviation from Archard scaling is traced to mechanically-driven structural evolution, consisting of grain growth and grain boundary relaxation...

Daniel F. Abbott, Sanjeev Mukerjee, Valery Petrykin, Zdeněk Bastl, Niels Bendtsen Halck, Jan Rossmeisl and Petr Krtil* Nanocrystalline ruthenium dioxide and doped ruthenia of the composition Ru1 xMxO2 (M1⁄4 Co, Ni, Zn) with 0 # x # 0.2 were prepared by the spray-freezing freeze-drying technique. The oxygen reduction activity and selectivity of the prepared materials were evaluated in alkaline m...

the influence of mechanical polishing pre-treatments on steel substrates is investigated in terms of microstructure, deposition rate, adhesion, mechanical and corrosion properties of electroless Ni-P nanocoating with 9-10% wt. of P content. XRD analysis of Ni-P coatings demonstrated the nanocrystalline structure of coating with the grain size of 39 nm. Results showed that pretreatment of substr...
