Friction stir welding and processing enabled the creation of stronger joints, novel ultrafine-
grained metals, new metal matrix composites, and multifunctional surfaces at user-defined …

Electrical-current-assisted friction stir welding (EA-FSW) is a procedure developed for the
joining of similar and dissimilar materials. EA-FSW is a newly invented solid-state process to …

Poor thermal stability limits the application of CuCr alloys at high temperatures. In this work,
non-stoichiometric TiC particles (7 vol%) reinforced CuCr matrix composites were fabricated …

Corrosion is frequently viewed as a catastrophic and unavoidable disaster in marine
applications. Every year, a huge cost is incurred on the maintenance and repair of corrosion …

Laser powder bed fusion was utilized to manufacture Cu–1Cr-0.19 Zr alloys with varied
build orientations (0° and 90°). The build orientation affected the grain orientation and …

In recent year, advancement of the materials and processing of the material identified as
research zone to make an impact in aerospace, automobile, marine and bio-medical …

To investigate the tribological performance of a copper alloy engine bearing under oil
lubrication, seawater corrosion and dry sliding wear, three different PI/PAI/EP coatings …

As a typical age-strengthened alloy, Cu–Cr–Zr alloys have high strength, good electrical
conductivity, and excellent wear resistance. In this work, the Cu–Cr–Zr–Nb alloys were in …

Abstract A Cu-0.4 Cr-0.39 Zn-0.1 Mg-0.07 Zr (wt%) alloy was prepared using cryogenic
rolling process and multistage thermo-mechanical treatment to achieve excellent …

Magnesium–lithium alloys are arguably the lightest metal structural materials but have low
strength. In order to increase strength, friction stir processing (FSP) is applied to a hot-rolled …
