Silicon carbide ceramics have many excellent properties, such as high melting point, high
strength, high thermal conductivity, high hardness, high stiffness, good chemical resistance …

Wear leads to loss of functions of machines and to a decrease in their efficiencies.
Controlling wear through wear resistance tests is a very important task. Wear tests aim to …

In this study, wear characteristics of aluminum alloy Al6061, and its nanocomposite,
Al6061/nano-SiC processed by Liquid metallurgy method are investigated. The experiments …

This paper investigates the effects of fretting wear on frictional contacts. A high frequency
friction rig is used to measure the evolution of hysteresis loops, friction coefficient and …

A duplex coating consisting of a nitrided layer and a GLC (Graphite-like carbon) film was
deposited on the surface of the M50NiL steel via a one-step process in a plasma nitriding …

Torsional fretting wear is a commonly wear form in assemblies, while its inherent
concealment and debris evolution make it difficult to study. Titanium alloy, widely used in …

In this study, a combination of local heat treatment (LHT) with (w/) and without (w/o)
ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) technique was applied to Inconel 690 …

The role played by graphene in the friction and wear behaviour of graphene/silicon carbide
(SiC) composites, tested under dry sliding conditions and using silicon nitride balls as …

In this work, the shot peening (SP) treatment with different processing parameters was
introduced to 17Cr2Ni2MoVNb steel. The finite element model (FEM) was performed in the …

Fretting occurs when two loaded contacting surfaces are exposed to oscillatory relative
movement of small amplitude. Depending on conditions such as surface finishing, coefficient …
