Nickel-based superalloy is widely employed in aircraft engines and the hot end components
of various types of gas turbines with its high strength, strong corrosion resistance and …

Wear leads to loss of functions of machines and to a decrease in their efficiencies.
Controlling wear through wear resistance tests is a very important task. Wear tests aim to …

Fretting wear is a material damage in contact surfaces due to micro relative displacement
between two bodies. It causes some unexpected results, such as loosening of fasteners or …

The influence of specimen hardness (between 275 kgf mm− 2 and 835 kgf mm− 2) in an AISI
Type O1 steel-on-steel fretting contact was examined. In equal-hardness pairs, a variation in …

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanisms involved in the wear of cobalt-
based interfaces at high temperature. The studied contact is a cobalt-based alloy subjected …

In this paper, a finite element model for the prediction of fretting fatigue crack initiation in the
full-scale railway axle was proposed, which took into account the influence of the stress …

Fretting is defined as a small displacement oscillatory motion between two solids in contact.
Depending on the loading conditions (displacement amplitude, normal force, etc.) fretting …

A finite element model, considered for the wear profile evolution of a threaded surface, is
proposed to simulate the self-loosening of bolted joints under transverse loading. The …

CoAlTiWTa refractory high-entropy alloy (RHEA) coatings were prepared on the surfaces of
Inconel 718 superalloy by pulsed laser cladding under different powers up to 75 W. Phase …

Cr-based coatings are promising candidates to protect the claddings on accident-tolerant
fuel (ATF) rods in pressurized water reactors (PWRs). In this study, the effect of water …
