Surface modification of ASTM 1045 carbon steel using ultrasonic vibration-assisted
automatic electric discharge machining (UAEDM) in gaseous media was carried out, aiming …

The main objective of the present work is to determine the effects of laser processing on
properties of WC-Co electro-spark deposited (ESD) coatings on steel substrates. Tungsten …

Electro-spark deposition (ESD) is a pulsed microwelding process that is used to apply
surface coatings for the repair of damaged high value and precision products or modify their …

In this paper, the copper-based nanocomposites with TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized
by the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) process. The effect of the different …
