Performance improvement of Al‐alloyed materials via plasma spray coating

Serdar Salman, Ali Topal, Fehim Findik

The aim of the research is to increase piston and engine performance by using ceramic coated pistons instead of pistons which are manufactured from aluminum alloys and having a…

Tribological performance of rare‐earth alkylsalicylate as lubrication additive

Rende Liu, Dehua Tao, Yuan Zhao

The purpose of the paper is to study the tribological performance of an oil soluble mixed rare‐earth alkylsalicylate (REA) as lubrication additive in VG 26 white oil, and to…

Zero wear concept using bionotox and polymer‐free engine oils with triboactive materials

Mathias Woydt, Bernard Criqui, Gérard Desplanches, Tom Linneman

The purpose of this paper is to underline the future need for OEMs to receive lowSAP, polymer‐ and metal‐free engine oils with high‐viscosity indices and to illuminate for other…

Fatigue testing of Inconel‐625 coatings on carbon and stainless steel after one and three weeks of exposure to aqueous electrolytic solution

A.A. Boudi, M.S.J. Hashmi, B.S. Yilbas

This paper seeks to examine the fatigue properties of HVOF sprayed Inconel‐625 coating of steel substrate before and after the aqueous corrosion.

Characterization and tribological properties of boride coatings of steels in a fluidized bed reactor

K. David, K.G. Anthymidis, P. Agrianidis, G. Petropoulos

The aim of the current research is to characterize boride coatings on steels and steel alloys produced in a CVD fluidized bed reactor.

Effect of rheological behaviour of lithium greases on the friction process

M.A. Delgado, J.M. Franco, E. Kuhn

The aim of this work is to investigate the relationship among rheology, tribology and traditional standardized technological parameters of lithium lubricating greases.

Effect of Ti and B on the dry sliding wear behaviour of hypoeutectic Al‐Si alloys

S.A. Kori, T.M. Chandrashekharaiah, V. Auradi, V.R. Kabadi

This paper aims to study the effect of Al‐Ti‐B grain refiners on the wear behaviour of hypoeutectic (Al‐0.2, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7Si alloys) Al‐Si alloys against steel counterface…
