in this study, gtaw process and cored wires were used to coat al/al3ti wear resistant composite on a commercial pure al substrate. wire drawing process was utilized to produce the cored wires from aluminum strips and a mixture of titanium and aluminum powders. the microstructures and the present phases were investigated by metallographic, sem equipped with eds and xrd analysis. moreover, the ha...

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...

A polymer trilayer (sandwiched) film with a thickness of 20–30 nm has been designed to serve as a wear resistant nanoscale coating for silicon surfaces. These surface structures are formed by a multiple grafting technique applied to self-assembled monolayers (SAM) and functionalized tri-block copolymer, followed by the photopolymerization of a topmost polymer layer. The unique design of this la...

in this research, b4c-ni cermet coating was sprayed on the surface of 4130 steel from b4c and ni feed-stockpowders using high velocity oxy-fuel (hvof) method. in order to characterize the tribological behavior of thecoating, ball on disk wear tests were done at the ambient temperature and under the loads of 1, 3 and 5 n.phase analysis of the coating after spraying was studied by x-ray diffracto...

Friction surfacing is an emerging surface engineering technology, developed on the basic principle of friction welding, for depositing wear and corrosion resistant metallic coatings. In the present work coating of tool steel M2 were made on mild steel by friction surfacing by using 2 factorial designs with 3 factors at two levels for each. Process parameters developed a satisfactory deposition ...

Within most industry segments, significant financial losses may be incurred due to accelerated wear of various components. In order to minimize the effects of mechanical wear and extend product life, thermal spray coating solutions introduced into production and is further developing them to meet even more demanding wear applications. Applying coatings using thermal spray is an established indu...

In this study, tungsten oxide coatings with 13 and 75 at% of oxygen were prepared by DC reactive magnetron sputtering from a pure W target in an Ar+O2 atmosphere. The coating hardness (H) decreased with increasing oxygen content from 25 to 7.7GPa. The values of H/E ratio were 0.08 and 0.07 for W87O13 and W25O75, respectively. The tribological measurements were carried out on a pin-on-disc tribo...
