Novel Mg (0.58, 0.97, 1.98 and 2.5) vol. % TiN nanocomposites containing titanium nitride (TiN) nanoparticulates of ~20 nm size are successfully synthesized by a disintegrated melt deposition technique followed by hot extrusion. Microstructural characterization of Mg-TiN nanocomposites indicate significant grain refinement with Mg 2.5 vol. % TiN exhibiting a minimum grain size of ~11 μm. X-ray ...

Abstract This study compares two tools, HSS M42 and TiN Coated twist drill bits, in order to determine which tool has the better material removal rate (MRR). Drill bits were of high speed steel (HSS M42) use Novel coating Titanium Nitride on this study. The machining is done a experimental specimen made aluminium alloy AA6063. both tools measured CNC drilling sets 20 specimens each. Spindle spe...

In this paper, we present results on the noise performance of the waveguide Niobium Titanium Nitride (NbTiN) superconducting hot electron bolometer (HEB) mixers, cryogenically cooled by a 4-K close-cycled refrigerator. The NbTiN superconducting HEB mixer is fabricated on a crystalline quartz substrate, and is mounted in a waveguide mixer block for RF and LO coupling. At 0.81 THz, the uncorrecte...

Nowadays titanium alloys are extensively used for aerospace and biomedical applications. However, despite good mechanical properties and excellent corrosion resistance they possess poor wear resistance and a tendency to galling and seizure. In this study the tribological properties of experimental Ti-Si-Zr based alloys were studied using a standard ball-on-disc wear testing system. The wear and...

A single 210-nm Teflon nanoparticle (sTNP) was attached to the vertex of a silicon nitride (Si3N4) atomic force microscope tip and charged via contact electrification. The charged sTNP can then be considered a point charge and used to measure the electrostatic field adjacent to a parallel plate condenser using 30-nm gold/20-nm titanium as electrodes. This technique can provide a measurement res...
