Abstract Around 1,000 peer-reviewed papers were selected from 3,450 articles published
during 2020–2021, and reviewed as the representative advances in tribology research …

Residual stresses induced during turning processes can affect the quality and performance
of machined products, depending on its direction and magnitude. Residual stresses can be …

Surface plastic deformation methods are prevalently applied to improve the fretting fatigue
(FF) property of titanium alloys. Understanding the intrinsic relation between surface plastic …

Additive manufacturing (AM) of metallic parts is a relatively new manufacturing procedure.
Many industry sectors, such as the aerospace or automotive sectors, have started to apply …

Fretting occurs at two contact bodies, which sustain oscillation loading. The fretting
phenomenon decreases the fatigue lifetime dramatically. Shot peening is a commonly used …

Microstructural characteristics and enhanced mechanical properties of 2024 aluminum alloy
associated with shot-peening treatment were investigated by optical microscope (OM) …

The growing demand for fuel-efficient, lightweight and lower CO 2 emissions is led to the
development of lightweight materials. Aluminium metal and its various alloys are extensively …

Fretting fatigue damage is a typical material damage arising in mechanical components. In
such a damage condition, surface cracks can initiate at the surface contact zone, and under …

The proposed deflecting abrasive waterjet peening (DAWJP) process can be used for
surface strengthening of metallic parts with confined space features, which has great …

Gas turbine components are often shot-peened to improve surface integrity and fatigue
capability. Compressive Residual Stress (CRS) and increased surface hardness are the key …
