CHARACTERIZATION AND CORROSION OF BCC-TANTALUM COATING DEPOSITED ON ALUMINUM AND STEEL SUBSTRATE BY DC MAGNETRON SPUTTERING by Chirag Joshi Tantalum is one of the most versatile highly refractory corrosion-resistant metals. Tantalum coating can be used as an effective corrosion barrier if it is continuous, free from defects and it adheres well to the substrate. A DC magnetron sputtering techniq...

In this work a pack cementation of germanium-doped aluminum and silicon coatings on low alloy steel type-T21 has been applied. This gives significant improvement in the oxidation. Steel-T21 was coated with germanium-doped aluminizing-siliconizing. Diffusion coating was carried out at 1050C for 6 h under an Ar atmosphere by simultaneous germanium-doped aluminizing-siliconzing process. Cyclic oxi...

Arc thermal metal spray coating provides excellent corrosion, erosion and wear resistance to steel substrates. This paper incorporates some results of aluminum coating applied by this method on plain carbon steel. Thereafter, coated panels were exposed to an environment known to form stable corrosion products with aluminum. The coated panels were immersed in Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE...

One of the main ways to protect steel against corrosion is by galvanizing process. This process has been continuously developed and its first optimization was performed addition Aluminum in coating. As a result, Zn-5wt.%Al 55wt.%Al-Zn coatings were developed. Recently, search for increased resistance led development zinc coating with magnesium aluminum. In this work, comparative study coated Zn...

Aluminum foam has received considerable attention in various fields and is expected to be used as an engineering material owing to its high energy absorption properties and light weight. To improve the mechanical properties of aluminum foam, combining it with dense tubes, such as aluminum foam-filled tubes, was considered necessary. In this study, an aluminum foam-filled steel tube, which consi...

This research work presents the results of an experimental investigation of cryogenically treated, coated and uncoated tungsten carbide cutting tool inserts in turning of AISI 1040 steel. Three different tungsten carbide inserts coated with aluminum chromium nitride (AlCrN), titanium nitride (TiN) and uncoated WC were taken and treated cryogenically. Experiments were performed to evaluate the c...
