Friction surfacing is a solid-state deposition process that provides microstructural and mechanical property benefits over fusion-based methods as result of the lower heat input hot working. The study examines microstructure corrosion properties for friction-surfaced 304L stainless steel consumable rods on substrates. Microstructural characterization revealed fine-grained with distributed strai...

Friction surfacing (FS) is a solid state coating technology for similar and dissimilar metallic materials. The of the substrate with consumable material enabled due to frictional heat plastic deformation performed below materials' melting temperature. In this work, spatio-temporal temperature field during FS investigated within via combined experimental-numerical approach. study presents robust...

Noise is defined as a loud sound of any sort that is disagreeable or unwanted. Throughout the ages of civilized history, noise has been an annoying irritant to mankind. In recent years the noise level of freeways in urban and suburban areas in the United States has increased perceptibly as freeway traffic has increased and more people are living closer to freeways. To reduce such a noisy irrita...
