The equations of balance of momentum and energy usually are formulated under the
assumption of conservation of mass. However, mass is not conserved when sources of mass …

The machining process is still a very relevant process in today's industry, being used to
produce high quality parts for multiple industry sectors. The machining processes are …

The limit of applicability of the correlation between the ratio of hardness to elastic modulus
(H/E) of coating systems and their wear resistance has been explored. Experimental …

Manufacturing activity is a major consumer of energy and natural resources. In machining
process, a large amount of heat is produced whose removal requires the use of suitable …

In tribological applications, the degradation of metallic coatings due to oxidation and thermal
softening at high temperatures is an issue of increasing concern. Recently, researchers …

The mechanisms of cracking in multi-layered composite nano-structured coatings deposited
through the use of the technologies of filtered cathodicvacuum arc deposition …

This paper presents the results of a study of the mechanisms of delamination and the
formation of longitudinal cracks in the structure of multi-layered nano-structured coatings to …

This study focuses on effects of layered design method on the corrosion resistance of the
coatings. The different corrosion behaviors could be extracted from the microstructure and …

In machining, the tool life is one of the limiting criteria in the process; therefore, the
development of wear-resistant material for the cutting tools is imperative. This paper …

The machined surface integrity in the turning of hardened steels is adversely influenced by
heat generation and friction which requires pacification of the temperature by the effective …
