The sapphire substrates are polished by traditional chemical mechanical polishing (CMP)
and ultrasonic flexural vibration (UFV) assisted CMP (UFV–CMP) respectively with different …

A Fe–Cr–Si–B–Mn coating was prepared by high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spray on
the surface of 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel. Microstructures of the coating were investigated by …

A WC–Co–Cr coating was deposited by a high velocity oxy-fuel thermal spray (HVOF) onto a
1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel substrate to increase its cavitation erosion resistance. After the …

Hard mineral scale fouling results in significant economic losses both industrially and
domestically. Recently, attempts have been made to use ultrasound to mitigate scale …

Thermally-sprayed alumina based materials, eg, alumina-titania (Al2O3-TiO2), are
commonly applied as wear resistant coatings in industrial applications. Properties of the …

In this paper, the technique of ultrasonic flexural vibration assisted chemical mechanical
polishing (UFV-CMP) was used for sapphire substrate CMP. The functions of the polishing …

Thermally sprayed hard metal coatings are the industrial standard solution for numerous
demanding applications to improve wear resistance. In the aim of improving coating quality …

This manuscript deals with the cavitation erosion resistance of flame-sprayed Al2O3-40%
TiO2/NiMoAl cermet coatings (low-velocity oxy-fuel (LVOF)), a new functional application of …

This paper investigated the influences of process parameters on sapphire MRR and
polished surface quality during ultrasonic flexural vibration assisted chemical mechanical …

Slurry and cavitation erosion often limits the durability of many fluid machines such as
hydroturbines, pumps, and propellers. Despite good resistance against slurry erosion …
