Laser alloying is an effective method to form functional surface layers (coatings) on metallic materials, particularly stainless steels. Unique phase balance, dislocation substructure, and a possibility obtain gradient microstructures after laser slow down the degradation increase wear resistance. In this work, optimal parameters of their effects microstructure properties were investigated for ...

magnetic abrasive finishing (maf) is a micromachining process that uses magnetic field and magnetic abrasive particles to conduct the mechanism of material removal in micro-nanometer scales. in this paper, by an experimental method and statistical analysis, the effects of parameters like working gap, work-piece rotational speed and material removal mechanism (injection of abrasive slurry of al2...

Grain growth and hardness variation occurring in high-temperature heat affected zone (HAZ) during the welding processes are two thermal dependant aspects of great interest for both academic industrial research activities. This paper presents an innovative finite element (FE) model capable to describe grain decrease that occur gas metal arc (GMAW) commercial AISI 441 steel. The FE software SFTC ...

Mn–Co alloys were electroplated on AISI 430 stainless steel using an electrodeposition technique with the aim to reduce oxidation and chromium volatilization. The electroplating parameters designed improve coating quality. increased current density decreased MnSO4 content resulted in a denser layer. A sample coated 0.10 M CoSO4 0.50 at 350 mA cm−2 showed best resistance after being oxidized 800...
