The aim of this experimental study is to improve gray cast iron fatigue wear resistance
through laser cladding carbon–a proposed process referred as “laser carburizing” …

To improve the fatigue wear resistance of gray cast iron (GCI), GCI samples were modified
by a laser to imitate the unique structure of some soil animals alternating between soft and …

A new gray cast iron (GCI) with oriented graphite flakes was prepared by a severe plastic
deformation (SPD) process. It was clearly recognized by scanning electron microscopy …

High performance cast iron (HPCI) with improved mechanical properties and tuned thermal
conductivity is a strong candidate to replace ductile iron in the application of automobile …

This study investigates the effect of semi-solid processing on the microstructures,
mechanical properties of low carbon Fe–B cast alloy. The as-cast microstructure of Fe–B …

The objective of this chapter is to understand what semisolid alloys are and what are their
requirements in terms of liquid to solid transition (in rheocasting processes) or solid to liquid …

In this paper, TiC-W-Cr powders were alloyed on grey cast iron by plasma transferred arc
(PTA). The alloying samples were characterized the microstructure, microhardness, fatigue …

To enhance the sliding wear resistance of gray cast iron under starved lubrication
conditions, two kinds of bionic units were generated by using a pulsed Nd: YAG laser and a …

The 3D printing thixo-forming process is a method that utilizes semisolid thixotropic
feedstock for layer extrusion by controlling feedstock viscosity below the complete melting …

The semi solid forming of steel has the potential of an innovative technology, which could
open a new possibility of metal components production. Earlier research works in the 1990s …
