This article presents an overview of the developments in stainless steels made since the
1990s. Some of the new applications that involve the use of stainless steel are also …

Surface defects like porosity, cracks, coarse grains, surface roughness, etc. have a huge
impact on the strength and performance of materials. Due to this, surface treatments have …

In this work, the influence of the processing conditions on the microstructure and abrasive
wear behaviour of a NiCrBSi hardfacing alloy is analysed. The hardfacing alloy was applied …

Laser surface texturing (LST) has emerged as a powerful technique for creating surface
patterns on various materials, including metals, polymers, and ceramics. Among LST …

Developing biomaterials with appropriate physiochemical and mechanical properties as per
the requirements set by biomedical applications remains a challenge. This challenge has …

Different macrostructural morphologies and grain sizes may develop due to a wide range of
the operational conditions that may exist during casting. It is well known that mechanical …

The AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel was surface-hardened by a pulsed Nd: YAG laser.

Metallic parts created using current freeform fabrication processes have an unacceptably
high surface finish (Ra» 1: 0 mm) for many functional applications. This paper addresses the …

In order to explore the influence of picosecond laser on the cleaning quality of 316L
stainless steel, and verify the feasibility of laser cleaning technology on stainless steel. In …

The effect of microstructure on metallic alloys properties has been pointed out in various
studies and particularly the influence of dendrite arm spacing upon the mechanical …
