Aluminum drill pipes have high specific strength but poor wear resistance, which often
results in the failure of the pipes in field applications, owing to wear and corrosion. In this …

Asphalt pavement field performance largely depends on the stripping resistance at the
bitumen–aggregate interface. However, the conventional stripping resistance evaluation …

Owing to the superior mechanical properties, higher specific strength, higher electrical and
thermal conductivities, better corrosion and oxidation resistances, aluminum alloys (Al …

The high electrical conductivity Al-Ce-Sc-Y and Al-Mg-Si-Ce-Sc-Y alloys were used to study
the effects of laser shock peening on their mechanical property, pitting and intergranular …

A novel scalable approach via Zr micro-alloying to enhance the corrosion resistance of high-
strength Aluminum (Al) alloy A206 without compromising mechanical strength has been …

Al-Li alloys are widely used in aerospace industry owing to their low density and high
specific strength, but they are facing corrosion challenges in marine environment. In this …

ABSTRACT A new Zn-Cu-Ti alloy suitable for hot-dip galvanising of structural parts was
prepared. The effects of Cu and Ti on the microstructure, corrosion products, and corrosion …

Aim: The Finite Difference Time Domain approach has been used to assess the localised
surface plasmon resonance and field enhancement for Al nanostars. The structure's …
