Abstract: In the current work, the strain hardening behavior of dual-phase steels with different silicon content (0.34- 2.26 Wt. %) was examined using the modified Crussard-Jaoul analysis. It was shown that these dual-phase steels deform in two stages over a uniform strain range. Each stage exhibited a different strain hardening exponent varying with silicon content. At the first stage, work...

In the present work, lubrication properties (friction and wear) of a synthetic ester oil, tris(2-ethylhexyl) trimellitate (TOTM) containing ferrite nanoparticles coated with oleic acid (F3O4-OA) were investigated for two different material pairs: steel ball-steel disc silicon nitride disc. Thus, four TOTM nanolubricants formulated: + 0.010 wt% Fe3O4-OA, 0.015 0.020 Fe3O4-OA 0.025 showing all th...

This paper aims to investigate the frictional and wear performances of natural flax fibers reinforced polypropylene composites subjected lubricated mechanical polishing. Particularly, interactions between biocomposite surfaces two different liquids (oil water) are considered using a rotary tribometer where counter-face is fed by silicon carbide (SiC) abrasive papers. Friction at dry, water oil-...
