Friction stir processing (FSP) technology has received reasonable attention in the past two
decades to process a wide range of materials such as aluminum, magnesium, titanium …

This study aims at understanding the effect of different heat treatments on the evolution of
the microstructure of several Cr–W–V–Mo steels having different compositions and how this …

In this study, the surfaces of M2 and D2 tool steels were modified using friction stir
processing (FSP). The microstructure, hardness, corrosion and wear resistances of M2 and …

Understanding the dynamics of the filling process of a pore body with a nonwetting fluid is
important in the context of dynamic pore network models and others. It can justify many of …

The preparation of superhydrophobic coatings on the surface of medical metallic materials
can enhance wear resistance and provide corrosion protection. To overcome the challenges …

Traditional sanitation in dry food and produce manufacturing plants is challenging as
residual moisture can harbor microbial contamination. Superheated steam (SHS) is …

Different welding cooling methods used in steel manufacturing confer different mechanical
properties to the produced material. The use of the electric arc-type welding connections …

The B-bearing iron-based coating produced by laser cladding exhibits super-high hardness.
However, the strengthening mechanism of B-bearing Cr17Ni2 coating and non-equilibrium …

Plant extracts have been considered to be an effective corrosion inhibitor due to their high
inhibition performance, huge amount, regeneration, and nature, as well as biological …

S45C carbon steel is widely used as a raw material for tools and automotive components. In
machine components, a material that has hard and ductile properties is also needed, with …
