The phenomena of cavitation and cavitation erosion affect hydraulic machines, increasing
their maintenance costs. Both these phenomena and also the methods of preventing the …

Shot peening is a dynamically developing surface treatment used to improve the surface
properties modified by tool, impact, microblasting, or shot action. This paper reviews the …

This work studies the effect of mechanical properties and microstructure on sliding wear and
cavitation erosion behaviors of cermet coatings deposited via high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) …

Cavitation erosion is a major challenge for marine and fluid machinery systems. This study
investigated the erosion performance of two as-cast aluminium alloys exposed to acoustic …

In this paper, the application of an Autocorrelation Function for the characterisation of
surface topography was validated. The roughness evaluation of turned composite surfaces …

This paper explores the applicability of a new damage parameter combining both fracture
surface topography and loading features to estimate the fatigue lifetime under creep pre …

Metallic coatings based on cobalt and nickel are promising for elongating the life span of
machine components operated in harsh environments. However, reports regarding the …

The dispute over the effect of cavitation heat on material surface intensifies the fuzziness of
cavitation erosion (CE) mechanism and limits the development of protective materials. Here …

In this study, four protective coating materials: Inconel 718, Inconel 625, Alloy 33 and Stellite
6 were deposited on 16Mo3 steel tubes by means of CMT (Cold Metal Transfer), as an …

Laser metal deposition (LMD) is one of the manufacturing processes in the industries, which
is used to enhance the properties of components besides producing and repairing important …
