The structure and desired properties of corrosion-wear resistant materials in high-temperature environments largely depends on the dual-phase structural design and surface/interface control. This ...

Research indicates that corrosion pitting can drastically reduce the fatigue life of aluminum components, even more so than fretting fatigue, which is a wear process caused by repeated sliding ...

When selecting a coating for corrosion and wear protection, there are numerous options available depending on the substrate, environment, function, and desired properties. Paints and organic ...

The microstructures, mechanical, corrosion, and wear behaviors of the TixZrNbTaMo (x = 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2, molar ratio) high entropy alloys (HEAs) were studied. It was found that the Ti–Zr–Nb–Ta–Mo ...
