The effect of plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) on the fatigue of AZ61 magnesium alloy has been investigated under high cycle conditions in air and 3.5% NaCl solution. PEOemployed an alkaline pyrophosphate-silicate-fluoride ...

This paper relates to the in-flight temperature and velocity of TiO2 particles, an integral part of the systematic research on atmospheric plasma spraying of the material. Initial powder feedstock (32-45 um, 100% rutile ...

The plasticity models in finite element codes are often not able to describe the cyclic plasticity phenomena satisfactorily. Developing a user-defined material model is a demanding process, challenging especially for ...

(Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3-xCeO2, (BCZTCe) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were processed conventionally using a two-step sintering technique. The results suggest that two-step sintering is an effective technique to ...

The sintering is a complex thermally activated process, thus any prediction of sintering behaviour is very welcome not only for industrial purposes. Presented paper shows the possibility of densification prediction based ...

Using quantum-mechanical methods we calculate and analyze (tensorial) anisotropic elastic properties of the ground-state configurations of interface states associated with Sigma5(210) grain boundaries (GBs) in cubic ...

This paper deals with various selective laser melting (SLM) processing strategies for aluminum 2618 powder in order to get material densities and properties close to conventionally-produced, high-strength 2618 alloy. To ...

This paper presents a systematic research on the process of thermal spraying of HA encompassing all stages of layer deposition: powder production and characterization (optimized production led to spherical 29.29 - 50.51 ...

The present work is focused on the synthesis of CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloy (HEA) interstitially alloyed with nitrogen via powder metallurgy routes. Using a simple method, nitrogen was introduced to the HEA from the ...

Titanium powder was deposited onto steel specimens using four thermal spray technologies: plasma spray, low-pressure cold spray, portable cold spray, and warm spray. The specimens were then subjected to strain controlled ...
