In th is study, the effects of volume fraction of SiC on microstructure, hardness and tensile properties as well as density have been investigated in Al-4.5Cu-3Mg matrix al loy and its 5, 10, and 15 vol.% SiC particle ...

In this work, some surface properties of ductile irons were improved by a them1o-chemical boronizing process. Boronizing wasperfom1ed in a slurry salt bath consisting of borax, boric acid and ferro-silicon at 850 and 950 ...

Ductile iron (DT) pipe is one of rhe most commonly used pipe materia ls for water tra nsmission se t-vi ce. The corrosion of metallic water m<Jins occurs because of several environmen tal conditions. 1•2 Common causes ...

Zn, Al and Zn/15Al coatings can be produced in optimum conditions by the twin wire arc (TWEA) spraying technique. The coatings are used for corrosion protection in a variety of industrial applications. In this study, the ...

Zn and Zn/Al 85/15 coatings are produced at optimum conditions by twin wire electric arc (TWEA) spraying technique and are used in various industrial applications to improve corrosion protection. As an alternative for ...

The formation of oxide film on the surface of aluminium melts, i.e. bifilms, are known to be detrimental when they are incorporated into the cast part. These defects causes premature fractures under stress, or aid porosity ...
