... alteration and performance enhancement, six major properties were measured and analyzed in terms of surface roughness, porosity, microhardness, wear, and impact and corrosion resistance. Results showed that grinding-burnishing significantly improved the surface finish by lowering R a and R z by up to 29...

... electrolyte. The influences of process parameters on polishing effects and the corrosion resistance of electropolished samples are investigated. The experimental results show that the electropolishing temperature and acid concentration are directly related to the mass transport mechanism in the limiting...

...Chinmaya R. Dandekar; Yung C. Shin Metal matrix composites, due to their excellent properties of high specific strength, fracture resistance, and corrosion resistance, are highly sought after over their nonferrous alloys, but these materials also present difficulty in machining. Excessive tool wear...

... in particular that has experienced an increase in use in the biomedical and aerospace industries is titanium—due largely to its high strength to weight ratio and corrosion resistance. In this paper, surface preparation of a titanium alloy using waterjet and the water-air jet nozzles at pressures up to 600 MPa...

... is made of corrosion-resistant steel sheets that have microdimple surface features to significantly enhance the attachment of algae cells to the “belt” compared with a surface without microdimple features. The grown algae on the belt will then be mechanically scraped off, collected, dried, and squeezed...

...Z. G. Wang; S. Kobayashi; I. Matsumoto; K. Yamazaki; X. Cheng; J.-P. Delplanque Large area electron beams (EBs) have recently been successfully used to machine dies and tool steels. This large area EB process can greatly improve the machined surface quality as well as its corrosion resistance...

... density, usually no less than 10 9 – 10 10 W / cm 2 . Significant improvements in the overall performance including wear and corrosion resistance, fatigue, and creep properties are found for IBSP treated pure Cu and 316L stainless steel, attributable to the formation of nonequilibrium microstructures...

...Y. B. Guo; S. C. Ammula; M. E. Barkey High-speed milling (HSM) is widely used in the automotive and aerospace industries in fabricating mechanical components. HSM induced residual stress may significantly impact fatigue life and the corrosion resistance of machined components. Traditional methods...

... fabricated by TNL with various scan speeds at a normal tip force of 670 μN, and it can be seen that the thickness of the oxide layer is in inverse proportion to scan speed. This result demonstrates that the increase of corrosion resistance of the oxide layer against KOH according to the decreasing scan speed...
