Electrochemical synthesis of layered nanocrystalline laminates were studied by adopting magnetic multilayer system as a model. Multilayers of cobalt and copper, which are known to exhibit giant magnetoresistance, were ...

Titanium aluminides is a potential candidate for space application. Most of applications are limited due to its poor ductility at room temperature. This report studies the mechanisms of the formation of nano-grained Ti-Al ...

Thermal barrier coatings are generally used to increase the life and efficiency of the high temperature application components such as turbine blades, engine parts, etc. Thermal barrier coatings system consists of two ...

In the present study, investigations have been carried out on the effect of lead on the structure, mechanical properties and wear behavior of Al-Si-Pb alloys made by spray forming technique. These alloys are widely used ...

The aim towards the present Master Thesis work was to study two different methods namely Mechanical Alloying and Gas Reduction towards the production of Ti-Aluminides and Cu-W intermetallics respectively. For this purpose ...

Surface modification of steel shall be carried out by autogenous TIG arcing at different heat input and weld thermal cycle resulting from verifying welding parameters. Pulsed GTA process is gaining wider acceptance because ...

The protection offered by coatings against oxidation and corrosion at elevated temperatures relies on the ability of the coatings to produce and maintain a stable, adherent, slow-growing oxide layer on its surface. In order ...

In the present study, investigations have been carried out on the effect of various heat treatments on the structure, mechanical properties and erosion behavior of dual phase steel. The material used in this investigation ...

The boiler tubes of energy generation system are subjected to erosion corrosion mode of degradation in the platen superheater zone of the boiler which results to the shutdown of the plant and more than 50% of total production ...

Fatigue life of a structural component can be evaluated calculating independently ' the initiation and propagation phases. Cyclic loads associated with stress concentration details result in important local stresses and ...
