A TiN and TiN·Ti2Cu reinforced copper matrix composite layer was cladded onto a T3 copper substrate to improve the anti-wear performance of copper products by means of the nitrogen-shielded gas tungsten arc cladding method (N2-GTAC). Better than the...
Cr-coated Zr alloys are widely considered the most promising accident-tolerant fuel (ATF) cladding materials for engineering applications in the near term. In this work, Cr coatings were prepared on the surfaces of 1400 mm long N36 cladding tubes usi...
The TC4 (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy has problems such as low material hardness, poor wear resistance, and abnormal sensitivity to adhesive wear and fretting wear. In this study, we used graphene-reinforced Ti/BN composite coatings prepared on the surface of th...
This paper investigated the effect of tungsten arc melting current on the microstructure and wear resistance of coatings prepared from high-entropy powder-cored wire, FeCrMnCuNiSi1. A powder-cored wire of high-entropy composition was drawn by powder-...
It is expected that low-Sn Zr alloys are a good candidate to improve the corrosion resistance of Zr cladding alloys in nuclear reactors, presenting excellent corrosion resistance and high strength. The present work developed a new alloy series of Zr-...
Bronze materials are indispensable across numerous industries for enhancing the durability and performance of components, primarily due to their excellent tribological properties, corrosion resistance, and machinability. This study investigates the i...
