Gray cast iron (GCI) is a popular automotive brake disc material by virtue of its high melting
point as well as excellent heat storage and damping capability. GCI is also attractive …

Plasma cladding has been widely applied in surface modification and repairing. In this
study, the NiCrBSi coating was prepared on gray cast iron by plasma cladding. Scanning …

Due to the long-term cold and heat cycle of gray cast iron parts, thermal fatigue phenomena,
such as cracks, locally occur during the service process, resulting in the scrapping of the …

Brake camshaft with 40Cr alloy steel plays a more and more important role in the brake
system and its fatigue wear resistance (FWR) directly related to the safety of the trailer …

A high-vanadium high speed steel (HVHSS) alloying layer was synthesized from pre-placed
powders (V-Cr-Ti-Mo) on ductile iron (DI) substrate using plasma transferred arc (PTA) …

Gray cast iron was a traditional iron material which had been applied to industrial field for
many years. For damaged gray cast iron, the repair process is very difficult because the gray …

It is very easy to form hard and brittle phases (chilled structure and martensite) in the
interface zone during the welding and cladding process of nodular cast iron which always …

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” …

Abstract The MC (M: Ti, Nb) carbide-reinforced Ni-based coating was in-situ synthesized via
PTA technology. Each group of samples guaranteed an equal amount of (Ti+ Nb) mol …

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 …
