In the present study, Mn - Cr spinel powder was synthesized through a solid state reaction. In the next step, the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method was used to apply the MnCr2O4 spinel, as an oxidation-resistant layer, on SUS 430 stainless steel in a potential of 300 V/cm. The coated and uncoated samples were then pre-sintered in air at 900 °C for 3 h followed by cyclic oxidation at 800 °...

In this paper, nano-TiO2lubricating fluid was chosen as an advanced rolling lubricant to investigate its effect on the hot rolled surface and metallographic structure of SS41 steel strips. The tribological performances of nano-TiO2 lubricating fluid were measured by a four-ball tribotester. The hot rolling experiments under different lubrication conditions were carried out by a four-high rollin...

This paper introduces an excellent merge of Soft computing techniques from Computer Science Engineering, Plasma Technology and Material Surface Engineering. The paper is mainly focused on the Case Based Reasoning (CBR) approach for plasma nitriding process in the prediction of the values of the process parameters for different alloyed steels based on the actual data available from number of hig...

For more than a century, evidence for the production of crucible steel in Central and Southern Asia, prior to European Industrial Revolution, has fascinated challenged material scientists, historians archaeologists. At same time, chromium-alloyed stainless was developed early 20th building upon 19th century experiments with low chromium steel. Here we demonstrate new intentional addition nearly...
