Thermal spray coatings are widely used in many applications, and the adhesion effect at coating/substrate interface plays an important role during service life. The thermal spraying coating substrate is primarily combined by a mechanical seizure effect. In this work, strategy to generate interfacial metallurgical bonding proposed. Plasma with wire feeding was adopted increase size of sprayed pa...

Abstract Paint appearance is an important requirement for outer automobile panels. Since the last decade automotive manufacturers started reducing paint thickness to address environmental concerns. As a result, surface roughening of steel substrate due stamping becomes critical factor appearance. Although much research work has been conducted on roughening, limited focused waviness and conditio...

Limited dispersal distance generates spatial aggregation. Intraspecific interactions are then concentrated within clusters, and between-species interactions occur near cluster boundaries. Spread of a locally dispersing invader can become motion of an interface between the invading and resident species, and spatial competition will produce variation in the extent of invasive advance along the in...

Straining of sheet metal leads to surface roughness changes. In this study, foils AISI 201 and 304 stainless steel were strained in uniaxial tension impose roughening their surfaces. Thereafter, the corrosion resistance, electrical resistivity, magnetic field density, lubricated friction resulting surfaces evaluated. The effect strain-rate on roughening, thereby against tools, occurrence deform...

With the increase in adult orthodontic treatment comes the need to find a reliable method for bonding orthodontic brackets onto metal or ceramic crowns and fixed partial dentures. In this study, shear bond strength and surface roughness tests were used to examine the effect of 4 different surface conditioning methods: fine diamond bur, sandblasting, 5% hydrofluoric acid, and silica coating for ...
