Abstract: Surface temperature variations over the contiguous United States during the period 1931?75 are examined using mean monthly averages for the 344 climate divisions. This data matrix is decomposed into orthogonal components ...

Abstract: High-strength Cu–25Zn–5Al–3Fe–3Mn brass has broad applications as a wear-resistant copper alloy, while its tribological behavior at high temperatures has not yet been well investigated. In this paper, the tribological ...

Abstract: High-temperature wear-resistant Cu–Ni–Sn/WC composite coatings were fabricated via laser cladding. The effects of WC–17Co content on the microstructure, microhardness, and high-temperature tribological properties at room ...
