... effect led to ∼20% increase in microhardness, ∼75% reduction in wear-rate, ∼32% higher ultimate tensile strength, and ∼25% increase in strain, and it also significantly enhanced corrosion resistance compared to as-deposited samples. This study underscores the potential of using ultrasonic vibration...

...Suhail Ahmed Manroo; Noor Zaman Khan; Babar Ahmad The aim of this study is to find out how TiB 2 reinforced Mg-ZE41 matrix composites perform mechanically, wear-wise, and corrosion-wise. By altering the content of TiB 2 reinforcement particles in the ZE41 matrix as 4%, 8%, 12%, and 16...

...Grant Brandal; Y. Lawrence Yao Stress corrosion cracking is a phenomenon that can lead to sudden failure of metallic components. Here, we use laser shock peening (LSP) as a surface treatment for mitigation of stress corrosion cracking (SCC), and explore how the material differences of 304 stainless...

...Benxin Wu; Yung C. Shin Laser shock peening (LSP) is emerging as a competitive alternative technology to classical treatments to improve fatigue and corrosion properties of metals for a variety of important applications. LSP is often performed under a water confinement regime, which involves...
