Since the last few decades, the universal need for economical, efficient and lightweight stiff
materials has changed research trends from base alloys to composite materials. Metal …

In our present work, alumina/BNNTs and alumina/MoS 2 coatings were deposited onto
stainless steel substrates by solution precursor high velocity oxy-fuel thermal spraying. The …

Herein, aluminum− cubic boron nitride (Al− BN) composites with different reinforcement
sizes (20, 40, and 60 µm) were developed via spark plasma sintering while maintaining a …

Several sialon ceramics compositions were synthesized by selecting metal oxides (MOs) in
the nanosize range as additives in the oxynitride network. Nanosized precursors, including …

Aluminium 8112 alloy has become a leading material in the aluminium family and currently
used in the aerospace and automobile industries due to its excellent chemical and …

Abstract Al 2 O 3-based self-lubricating ceramics are cutting tool materials that meet the
extreme working conditions of dry cutting. However, due to the soft lubricating components …

In the present work, tribological mechanisms under different sliding wear parameters, viz.
applied load, sliding speed, and sliding distance, have been investigated in an Fe-based …

In this research, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) was synthesized using a simple, low cost,
and template-free method with urea-boric acid (UB), melamine-boric acid (MB), and …

Ball bearings face numerous challenges under harsh operating conditions of elevated
pressure between the balls and other contacting parts of the bearing like drop in tribological …

Abstract Continuous TiNb fiber reinforced TiAl composites (TiNb f/TiAl) have tremendous
potential for substituting brittle TiAl alloy to service on advanced aerospace equipment. This …
