Abstract: AISI 316 austenitic steel is extensively used in various components of power plants like boilers, boiler tubes and pipes, which suffer severe air jet erosion. Fly ash is a major erodent in that case. Present study is ...

Abstract: To reveal the effect of carbon content on tribological performance of coatings, TiAlC films having four different amounts of carbon content were synthesized using DC pulse magnetron sputtering. The amount of carbon was ...

Abstract: To explore the potential of directly grown multi-layer graphene as an agent in reducing friction and wear of steel on steel tribo-pair, multi-layer graphene films were synthesized on GCr15 steel in a low-pressure chemical ...

Abstract: A mechanized galling tester has been developed to evaluate the galling resistance of material pairs at room temperature (RT) as well as at elevated temperature condition. The test rig has a facility for online measurement ...

Abstract: The current investigation explores the potential of Ni-doped hBN (hBN-O-Ni) as a solid lubricant in conjunction with Ag in improving the tribological performance of Ni alloy-Ag-hBN composites containing a fixed amount of ...
