In this research, a thin film of TiO2 was applied on AZ91D using the method of magnetic sputtering. Microstructure investigations were done using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Wear resistance for the coating was investigated using the pin on the disk in the form of dry and in the Ringer's solution. After this test, the worn surface of the sampl...

In this research, tribological characteristics of Ni-P electroless coating and double-layered Ni-P/Ni-B electroless coating were studied. For this purpose, Ni-P electroless coating with 25 μm thickness was initially applied to the surface of steel Ck45 samples; then, a double-layered Ni-P/Ni-B electroless coating, including inner layer of Ni-P with 15 μm thickness and outer layer of Ni-B with 1...

In the past 30 years, electroless nickel (EN) plating has grown to such proportions that these coatings and their applications are now found underground, in outer space, and in a myriad of areas in between. Moreover, in order to further improve the mechanical and tribological properties of the nickel-phosphorous (Ni-P) coatings, Ni-P/PTFE composite coatings can be obtained, which provides even ...

Abstract: Hardfacing is one of the most useful and economical ways to increase the service life of components subjected to abrasive wear. Iron based hardfacing alloys have long been considered as candidate coatings for wear-resistant applications in industry. In the present work two layer of Fe-34Cr-4.5C%wt hardfacing alloy was deposited on ASTM A36 carbon steel plates by SMAW method. The m...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the variation in coefficient friction (CoF) and also wear a lead bronze coating under different texture conditions. tribological tests were performed using tribometer with pin on disk configuration. Several kinds textures, realised by surface laser texturing, tested varying diameter, depth, density dimples severe working innovative aspect concerns beh...

For the first time, tribological behaviour of 316 L stainless steel (316 SS) additively manufactured via laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) with ultrafine- and nano-grains obtained from high-pressure torsion (HPT) processing has been investigated. The pin-on-disk dry sliding wear test results demonstrate enhancement performance after HPT processing, as indicated by consistently lower coefficient f...

Cu-based self-lubricating materials can effectively adapt to complex natural environments and ensure consistency in used for switch transitions. These were tested through interface reinforcement research, improving their mechanical tribological properties providing a theoretical basis new slide baseplate materials. Results showed that the coefficient of friction wear weight loss decreased with ...

In this paper, the copper-based nanocomposites with TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) process. The effect of different amounts excess copper, in comparison stoichiometric ratio (CuO:Ti ratios 1:1, 2:1, and 3:1), on phase formation achieved samples was studied. A thermodynamical study showed that increasing copper powder reduces adiabatic te...

Plant development displays an exceptional plasticity and adaptability that involves the dynamic, asymmetric distribution of the phytohormone auxin. Polar auxin flow, which requires polarly localized transport facilitators of the PIN family, largely contributes to the establishment and maintenance of the auxin gradients. Functionally overlapping action of PIN proteins mediates multiple developme...
