It is known that the press formability and the elongation of laser textured sheet are improved, and the service life of textured roll is longer than that of the un-textured roll due to hardening of the treated surface. One of the goals to develop high repetitive rate YAG laser-induced discharge...

In order to improve the wear resistance of aluminum alloy, in-situ synthesized TiB2 and Ti3B4 peritectic composite particulate reinforced metal matrix composite, formed on a 2024 aluminum alloy by laser cladding with a powder mixture of Fe-coated Boron, Ti and Al, was successfully achieved using...

In this study, the potential of artificial neural network techniques to predict and analyze the properties of the corrosion resistance of a double glow alloyed layer is investigated. The input parameters of the neural network (NN) are: source voltage; workpiece voltage; working pressure; and the...

The wear behavior of brush-plating a Ni-W-Co/SiC composite layer on 1045 steel with oil lubrication is investigated. The composite layer is determined by OM, XRD and TEM. The worn surface of the plated layer is observed with SEM and laser profile analysis. The composition and average size of...
