ni-p and ni layers multilayer coatings were applied to az31 magnesium alloy utilizing electroless and electrodeposition procedures. the aim of the project was to decrease cracks and increase corrosion resistance of the coatings. in order to compare the coatings, the effect of single layer electroless ni-p coatings with different thicknesses was also investigated. the microstructure and phase co...

in this work, a tracer study on pore initiation in anodic alumina in oxalic acid was performed. effects of some experimental parameters such as applied electrical potential, electrolyte composition and heat pretreatment were evaluated. electrochemical and morphological experiments were performed using potentiostatic anodizing and scanning electron microscopy (sem) techniques, respectively. effe...

In this work, attempts are made to study the dispersion of Love waves in dry sandy layer sandwiched between fiber reinforced layer and inhomogeneous half space.Inhomogeneity in half space associated with density and rigidity and considered in exponential form. Displacement components for fiber reinforced layer, dry sandy layer and inhomogeneous half-space have been obtained by using method of s...

Burnishing is a chip-less finishing process, in which a hard roller or ball presses the surface layer of part to perform plastic deformation in the surface layer and produce improved finish, enhanced hardness and compressive residual stresses on the surface of special materials such as Aluminum and Brass. In the following research, the effect of input parameters such as feed rate, cutting speed...

Adsorption of benzimidazole, 2-methylbenzimidazole and 2-aminobenzimidazole on mild steel in 3.5 NaCl solution was studied using density function theory DFT calculations. In this regard, charge transfer resistance Rct and double layer capacitance Cdl obtained by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy EIS were used to calculate surface coverage and to build prediction models. When prediction mod...

An interesting change of scale sequence occurred during oxidation of nanocrystalline surface layer by means of a surface mechanical attrition treatment. The three-layer oxide structure from the surface towards the matrix is Fe3O4, spinel FeCr2O4 and corundum (Fe,Cr)2O3, which is different from the typical two-layer scale consisted of an Fe3O4 outer layer and an FeCr2O4 inner layer in convention...
