Saw blades are one of the most used cutting tools. They compose the expensive parts of a cutting machine. Therefore, saw-blade wear is an important parameter governing the economy of the cutting process. Significant savings ...

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films are suitable applicants for cutting tools due to their high hardness, low friction coefficient and wear rate. Doping metals in DLC films have been improved its tribological properties. In ...

Commercial pure titanium (CP-Ti) is used in many engineering fields because of its superior properties such as excellent corrosion resistance, high strength/weight ratio, and biocompatibility. However, it is not available ...

Titanium and its alloys are widely used in many fields, including aerospace and the chemical and biomedical industries. This is due to their mechanical properties, excellent corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility ...

The structure and the wear resistance of commercial-purity titanium subjected to plasma nitriding followed by chemical deposition of a Ni - B coating are studied.

In the present study, the surface of commercial pure (Grade 2) titanium was coated with electroless Ni-B and, then, it was subjected to heat treatment for an hour at 400?. The surface morphology, microstructure and phase ...

Polyurethanes (PUs) are used across a widely from biomaterials to industrial applications due to their versatile properties. Polyurethane is blended with other polymers to improve their physical and thermal properties. In ...

This paper investigates the tribological effects of composite oxide coatings grown on ZA-27 surfaces under dry sliding condition. Coating processes were conducted using three different electrolytic solutions through micro-arc ...

In this study, plasma nitriding treatment was applied to commercially pure titanium (Grade 2). Structural properties, electrochemical and tribological behaviours of the nitrided pure titanium specimens were comparatively ...

The effect of isothermal exposure at temperatures from 100°C to 250°C for 8 hours on the structure, mechanical and tribological properties of the Zn – 40% Al – 2% Cu – 2% Si alloy produced by chill casting is studied. The ...
