Leaded or unleaded? Homemade microscale tin electroplating

EHPnet: More Than Just Unleaded

Wear and frictional mechanisms of copper-based bearing alloys

The present study investigated the role of alloy microstructure and surface roughness on wear and friction behavior of leaded and unleaded tin bronzes. Ball-on-disk experiments were carried out under dry conditions with steel balls sliding against bronze disks. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive electron microscopy (EDX), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger elect...

Microscale analysis of strain-stress state for TiN nanocoating of POLVAD and POLVAD_EXT.

The main purpose of the research was to develop the micromodel of biocompatible titanium nitride nanocoating deposited on polymer by pulsed laser deposition method in blood chambers of Polish ventricular assist devices: POLVAD and POLVAD_EXT. The analysis of the parameters of micromodel crucial for the phenomenon of loss of cohesion occurring between coating and substrate was carried out as wel...

Sunset for Leaded Aviation Gasoline?

F lying in a small piston-engine plane bears little resemblance to flying in a commercial jet. There are no lines at the airport, no baggage checks, and often less legroom once you duck inside the cabin. You can feel every bump in the tarmac as the plane heads down the runway, every rumble of the engine. Once you are aloft there's no denying the improbability of flight; the low cruising altitud...

Chrome Electroplating Waste BAT

During the past several years, waste produced by the electroplating industry has attracted attention due to the level of pollutants found in the waste stream, the difficulty associated with treatment, and the cost of waste disposal. EPA has enacted regulations to control the discharge from plating facilities and estimates that 140 million lb of metal pollutants will be prevented from being disc...
