Although friction stir welding (FSW) has widely been applied to aluminum alloys in several industries over the past three decades, it is not yet used in industry for joining of steels. The aim of this study is to characterize ...

Nowadays nanofibers are used in many areas. Nanofibers produced by electrospinning are required to be porous, large surface area, lightweight and cost effective. In addition to being lightweight, nanofibers must also have ...

Abstract: In this study, the surface of AISI H13 steel was borided with powder blends of B4C and NaBF4 using the powder-pack method at 800, 900 and 1000 °C for 2, 4 and 6 h. The structural and mechanical characteristics ...

The corrosion resistances of three different thermochemical coatings (grown using titanizing, boriding, and borotitanizing treatments) applied to STKM-13A steel surfaces were investigated. The coatings were characterized ...

Statistical energy analysis is a widely used high frequency vibro-acoustic analysis tool. It is based on power flow balance between subsystems. Its accuracy mainly depends on precise determination of energy loss factors. ...

Ductile iron (DI) owes many of its attractive mechanical properties to the graphite nodules in its structure. However, since galvanic coupling can occur between the graphite nodules and the matrix in aggressive environments, ...

After some other processes, α-Fe2O3 red powder particles -by-product of regeneration of spent pickling liquor in ARP in iron and steel industry- should be ground up to pigment grade to convert it to a value added product, ...

The present study focuses on the applicability of friction stir welding to pure Pb plates. The joint performances are evaluated by optical microscopy, microhardness measurements, notch impact tests and three point bending ...

The aim of this work is to investigate the mechanical properties and microstructures of friction-stir welded (FSWed) St52 structural steel joints. In this study, St52 steel plates with a thickness of 4 mm were butt-welded ...

In this study, composites composed of glass fiber reinforced-epoxy laminates interleaved with electrospun polyvinylchloride (PVC) nano-fibres were designed for radar absorption investigations. The laminated composites which ...
