Abstract: Ceramic seals are widely used in many severe applications such as in corrosive, high temperature and highly loaded situations especially in hot chemical water-based extreme environments for ...

Abstract: Hard carbon coatings with diamond-like properties were applied on AISI M-50 steel rods which were subjected to rolling contact fatigue (RCF) testing at a cyclic Hertzian stress level of 5.5 ...

Abstract: The effects of nitrogen implantation conditions (ion energy, dose rate, and processing time) on the thickness and wear behavior of N-rich layers produced on 304 stainless-steel surfaces are ...

Abstract: Wear tests of ferrite (pure α-Fe) and austenite (AISI 304 stainless steel) implanted with nitrogen have been conducted using a unique oscillating pin-on-disk test machine. The results show that ...

Abstract: The effects of implanted nitrogen ion dose and target surface temperature during implantation on the wear characteristics of iron (ferrite) and 304 stainless steel (austenite) have been studied ...

Abstract: Cyclic oxidation behavior and microstructural degradation of nanocrystalline Ni–20Cr–xAl (where x=4 wt %, 7 wt %, and 10 wt %) coatings have been investigated. The coatings were deposited on ...

Abstract: A new and innovative binder KMP is developed for solidification/stabilization (S/S) of soils contaminated with heavy metals such as lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and cadmium (Cd). The KMP consists of acid-activated phosphate rock, ...
