Improved corrosion and cavitation erosion resistance of laser-based powder bed fusion produced Ti-6Al-4V alloy by pulsed magnetic field treatment
(2024-03)
The application of pulsed magnetic field (PMF) treatment demonstrated enhanced corrosion resistance in saline solution and prolonged resistance to cavitation erosion in deionised water for Ti-6AI-4V alloy manufactured by ...
Improvement of cavitation erosion resistance of structural metals by alternating magnetic field treatment
(2023-01-21)
Results of cavitation erosion tests for EN8 steel, nickel-aluminium bronze (NAB), 70/30 brass and aluminium alloy AA2014-T6 following alternating magnetic field (AMF) treatment are presented. These alloys were selected ...
Improvement of the wear resistance of EN8 steel by application of alternating magnetic field treatment
(2021-11-15)
In the present paper, the tribological properties of untreated and magnetically treated EN8 medium-carbon steel were studied. Tribological tests were performed using a pin-on-disc friction and wear tester. The alternating ...
Improvement of the wear resistance of nickel-aluminium bronze and 2014-T6 aluminium alloy by application of alternating magnetic field treatment
(2021-09-15)
The present work has used an alternating magnetic field treatment at ambient temperature to improve the wear resistance of nickel-aluminium bronze and aluminium alloy 2014-T6. Pin-on-disc wear tests under lubricating ...
Effect of high-density current electropulsing on corrosion cracking of titanium aluminide intermetallic
(2021-07-31)
The effect of electropulsing on the corrosion cracking of titanium aluminide produced by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis has been investigated. The electropulsing treatment led to improved corrosion resistance ...
Effect of electropulsing on the fatigue resistance of aluminium alloy 2014-T6
(2020-01-20)
The effects of electropulsing on the fatigue resistance of aluminium alloy 2014-T6 were studied in relation to electric current amplitude, pulse duration, and number of repetitions. Utilising the Taguchi method, the present ...
Effect of Alternating Magnetic Field on the Fatigue Behaviour of EN8 Steel and 2014-T6 Aluminium Alloy
(2019-09-04)
The application of an alternating magnetic field (0.54 T) was observed to lead to an improvement in the fatigue endurance and an increase in Vickers microhardness and tensile strength of both EN8 steel and AA2014-T6 alloy. ...
Effect of pulsed magnetic treatment on the corrosion of titanium
(2017-08-13)
Results of corrosion tests of titanium in the initial state and after treatment using pulsed magnetic field are presented. It is shown that samples after treatment have better corrosion resistance due to the formation of ...
Effect of Electromagnetic Treatment on Fatigue Resistance of 2011 Aluminium Alloy
(2016-08-08)
Beneficial effects of the electromagnetic treatment on fatigue resistance were reported on several engineering alloys. These could be linked to the dislocation activity and the rearrangement of the crystal structure of the ...
A review of the catalytic oxidation of carbon-carbon composite aircraft brakes
(2015-12-01)
The use of de-icing chemicals at airport runways has been shown to produce oxides and carbonates of sodium, potassium and calcium which catalyse the oxidation of carbon-carbon composite aircraft brakes leading to an increase ...
