Laves phases with their comparably simple crystal structure are very common intermetallic
phases and can be formed from element combinations all over the periodic table resulting in …

Post-spray treatments have recently been popular as a means of improving the overall
quality of thermally sprayed coatings, particularly those done using the HVOF technique …

This paper presents a comprehensive survey of welding processes used to deposit wear
resistant overlays. It is based on both literature review and research work performed at the …

TiVCrAlSi high entropy alloy coatings were deposited on Ti–6Al–4V alloy by laser cladding.
SEM, XRD and EDS analyses show that, the as-clad coating is composed of (Ti, V) 5Si3 and …

This paper investigates the effects of fretting wear on frictional contacts. A high frequency
friction rig is used to measure the evolution of hysteresis loops, friction coefficient and …

Additive manufacturing technologies, well known as three-dimensional printing (3DP)
technologies, have been applied in many industrial fields, including aerospace …

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of laser cladding Fe-based alloy on
microstructure and wear characteristic of wheel/rail materials using a rolling–sliding wear …

Extreme high-speed laser material deposition (EHLA) is a new laser cladding technology
which enable ultra-high processing efficiency. It has a higher processing efficiency of as …

Tribaloys are Cobalt-based alloys with general composition M–Mo–Cr–Si (M= Co), with a
microstructure of Laves intermetallic phases dispersed in a Co solid solution. The chemical …

The service life of rails would be remarkably reduced owing to the increase of axle load,
which can induce the occurrence of damages such as cracks, collapse, fat edges, etc. Laser …
