Abstract: The wear mechanisms of Metal-Evaporated magnetic tape-head interfaces have been investigated. A new apparatus was designed for the continuous observation of the tape surface when run in the still ...

Abstract: The characterization of frictional phenomena at the tool-chip-workpiece interface in metal cutting remains a challenge. This paper aims at identifying a friction model and a heat partition model ...

Abstract: Titanium nitride films were deposited by the methods of ion beam enhanced deposition (IBED), plasma chemical vapor deposition (PCVD) and ion plating (IP). X-ray diffraction analysis was employed ...
