Purpose The effect of processing parameters on the microstructure of steel produced by
laser-based powder bed fusion (LPBF) is a recognized opportunity for property design …

Surface texturing (ST) and laminar plasma jet (LPJ) surface hardening were applied to
GCr15 bearing steel to improve its wear resistance. Ball-on-disk reciprocating tests were …

Superlubricity is a fascinating phenomenon which attracts people to continuously expand
ultralow friction and wear from microscale to macroscale. Despite the impressive advances …

The underlying mechanism and influences of asymmetric surface texture on anti-friction &
wear of a surface modified Al alloy under sliding friction were studied. Microstructure …

The wear behaviour of AISI 316LN austenitic stainless steel has been studied by varying the
duration of nitriding. AISI 316LN steel was nitrided using salt bath nitriding which consist of a …
