It is used primarily to increase the fatigue life and improve cracking resistance of engineering materials.
At present, the poor plasticity and low impact resistance of engineering ceramics have limited their further application.
The current methodology can be applied to the prediction of thermal contact resistance in engineering problems involving sliding-contact elements.
Consequently, wires drawn under such conditions (lower inlet die angle and longer bearing length) will exhibit a lower susceptibility to HE, thereby increasing their resistance to engineering failure.
This work has established that Ni-Sn-P electroless coating of mild steel can be used to improve the corrosion and wear resistance for engineering applications.
Laser surface alloying (LSA) is increasingly recognised as a powerful surface modification tool to enhance the wear and corrosion resistance of engineering components.
Scratch resistance of engineering polymers is one of the important performance requirements for diverse industrial applications and in particular, for the automotive industry.
Laser surface alloying (LSA) is increasingly recognized as a powerful surface modification tool for enhancing the wear resistance of engineering components.
The evaluation of the fracture toughness of polymers is highly relevant, particularly because of the ongoing development of new polymeric blends, most of which are aimed at increasing the impact resistance of engineering plastics.
