This research intends to enhance the tribo-mechanical and corrosion properties of ADC 12 alloys by incorporating marble dust (MD) as a reinforcing element. Composites with varied MD concentrations (0–10 wt%) were fabricated using a squeeze cast...
This study evaluates the tribological characteristics of quasi-monolithic engine cylinder coatings and piston rings using a custom-built linear reciprocating tribometer. The coatings were deposited on an Al-Si alloy cylinder bore using the Plasma Tra...
A fretting wear experiment with uranium has been performed on a linear reciprocating tribometer with ball-on-disk contact. This study focused on the fretting behavior of the uranium under different atmospheres (Ar, Air (21% O2 + 78% N2), and O2) and...
Polymeric hydrogels can be used as artificial replacement for lesioned cartilage. However, modulating the hydrogel formulation that mimics articular cartilage tissue with respect to mechanical and tribological properties has remained a challenge. Thi...
A major problem in lubricated piston ring/cylinder liner contact sliding systems is the tribological failure mechanisms known as scuffing. In order to evaluate and better understand this damage phenomenon in these tribological systems, a tilted linea...
This research work focuses on the development and analysis of copper-filled linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) coatings deposited on LLDPE substrate via a thermocompression process. A dry mechanical mixing technique is employed to mix the copper...
Physical simulations of tribo contacts in internal combustion engines can act as a supporting tool to match upcoming guidelines and emission restrictions. In particular, the scuffing resistance of the contact between the piston ring and cylinder line...
The chromium nitride coating is a hard coating used to improve the sliding friction and wear behavior and is applied to engine components in various operating conditions even at an elevated temperature. In this study, chromium nitride was deposited b...
High temperature tribology is considered to begin from a minimum temperature of 300–350 °C, where organic base oils and polymers begin to decompose, until a temperature of 1000 °C. In this field of tribology, tests are typically run und...
The development of advanced thermal barrier coating (TBC) materials with better hot corrosion resistance, phase stability, and residual stresses is an emerging research area in the aerospace industry. In the present study, four kinds of TBCs, namely,...
The subject of the research is the possibility of using laser surface hardening to modify the tribological properties of ADI castings. ADI cast irons are a very progressive material; these cast irons find their application (due to their characteristi...
This study aims to investigate the microstructural alterations, mechanical properties, sliding wear behavior, and corrosion properties of Al-15%Mg2Si composites with different contents of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). Al-15%Mg2Si composites with...
