Laser cladding was used to prepare an Al-containing Fe-Cr-C hardfacing alloy layer on a
316 L stainless steel substrate. The effects of Al addition on the elemental distribution …

This first regional issue published in STMP highlights the potential and importance of the
research carried out in Latin America regarding surface engineering and tribology. In order …

The possibility of obtaining metallic parts by simply solidification, without the subsequent
processes of forging, justifies the interest of cast irons as structural materials. The economic …

Abstract NiHard-4 and high-Cr-Mo white cast irons are two classes of abrasion-resistant cast
irons extensively utilized in mining and related industries. Despite widespread usage …

High chromium cast irons are widely used as abrasion resistant materials. The mechanical
properties and wear resistance of these irons depend on the type, hardness, morphology …

Thermodynamic calculations of the solidification paths in the Fe-Si-Cr-C system using the
CALPHAD approach have been used for the interpretation of the solidification …

A series of high chromium white cast iron (HCCI) alloys with varying Cr: C ratios were
designed and fabricated through the squeeze casting process. This study investigates the …

A new family of IC based alloys termed 'Nicralc'was proposed as a substitute for high
temperature abrasion and erosion resistant cobalt alloys. The new alloy family presents …

NiHard-4 is a class of abrasion-resistant white cast iron widely used in mining ore-handling
operations. It has a multi-component microstructure consisting of eutectic carbides and …

In this work, a complex graphitic high-speed steel (Gr-HSS) obtained from a spin-casting
process that allows high cooling rates during solidification is considered. Differential thermal …
