Material removal operations play a pivotal role in the manufacture of key components,
required for engineering systems to operate safely and efficiently under ever more advanced …

Extreme fossil fuel consumption results in increasing the emanation of carbon dioxide (CO
2) in the atmosphere and fosters ecocrisis. The CO 2 electrocatalytic reduction has together …

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

The coating fabricated by laser cladding on the surface has been an effective way to
strengthen and enhance the wear resistance of alloys. However, the traditional Co-based …

The fretting wear behavior of Zr alloy cladding tube under mixed fretting regime in a high-
temperature pressurized water was investigated. The main wear mechanism is adhesive …

Grid-to-rod fretting (GTRF) is the main factor leading to the failures of fuel rods in reactor.
The oxide layer formed on pre-wear stage has a significant impact on the wear resistance of …

The critical failure factor and damage mechanism of 316 stainless steel during fretting
corrosion under the molten lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) are specially investigated …

Abstract WC-10Co-4Cr coating was deposited through supersonic flame of high-velocity
oxygen fuel (HVOF) process on the outside surface of Inconel 690 alloy tube. The fretting …

Inconel 690 alloy is widely used in nuclear steam generator tubes, which always suffer from
various complex fretting wear behaviors during their service period. This study aims to …

The Zr-4 alloy tubes in nuclear fuel rods in pressurized water reactor (PWR) fuel assemblies
were subjected to bi-directional composite fretting wear tests with different phase differences …
