In this paper we study the corrosion of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel PEMFC bipolar plates in aqueous and room-temperature ionic-liquid electrolytes. The anodic potential thresholds and dynamics have been investigated by electrochemical (potentiodynamic and potentiostatic) and in situ spectroelectrochemical methods (visible electroreflectance and VIS-UV spectroellipsometry). We measured t...

Corrosion is one of the major problems in the industry especially on machinery since it weakens the structure of the machinery part and causes the mechanical failure. This will stop the production and increase the maintenance cost. In this study, the corrosion behaviour of gas nitriding on a screw press machine shaft made from AISI 4140 steel was investigated. Pitting corrosion was identified a...

in this paper, welding feasibility between aa1100, aa5050 and aa6082 aluminum alloys and a441 aisi steel by friction stir welding has been studied. mathematical analysis of the heat generation during process showed that the maximum temperature produced in aa6082 aluminum alloy and a441 aisi joint but heat distribution in aa1100 aluminum alloy was higher than the other alloys. the investigation ...

Abstract Surface hardening with and without hard reinforcing material can be achieved by melting technique on the top substrate area via high energy input fusion. The aim is to apply TIG torch heat of 1344 J/mm at two different working distances such as 0.5 mm 1.5 incorporate preplaced TiC particulates surface AISI 4340 low alloy steel. Results pertaining microstructural features, melt pool siz...

Release of nickel from nickel or nickel-plated metals, is often responsible for allergic contact dermatitis. However, the effect of nickel-bearing stainless steels is not weil known. ln this paper AISI 304, 316 and 430 type stainless steels, as weil as nickel and nickel-plated materials, are investigated. Three tests were carried out: electrochemical tests and leaching experiments in sodium chl...

The experimental investigations of the tool wear in turning of EN 31 alloy steel at different cutting parameters are reported in this paper. Mathematical model has been developed for flank wear using response surface methodology. This mathematical model correlates independent cutting parameters viz. cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut with dependent parameters of flank wear. This model is...
