Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced wear resistance of titanium surfaces by a new thermal oxidation treatment
Hanshan Dong,T. Bell +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the wear behavior of thermal oxidation (TO)-treated and untreated Ti6Al4V alloy was investigated using an Amsler tribometer in rolling-sliding motion under boundary lubrication conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma surface engineering of low alloy steel
TL;DR: In this paper, a duplex plasma surface-engineering technique has been developed to improve the tribological properties and load-bearing capacity of low alloy steel, which is achieved by plasma nitriding the steel first so as to produce a thick, strong subsurface and then depositing a thin, hard and wear-resistant TiN coating on the nitrided substrate by ion plating.
Journal ArticleDOI
State-of-the-art overview: ion beam surface modification of polymers towards improving tribological properties
Hanshan Dong,T. Bell +1 more
TL;DR: Ion beam surface modification has shown great potential for improving the tribological behavior as well as surface mechanical properties of polymeric materials as mentioned in this paper, and the state-of-the-art of ion beam surface modifications for improving tribological and mechanical properties is assessed through a referenced literature review, and the ion-polymer interaction mechanisms involved in ion beam modification of polymers are briefly discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface modification of titanium alloys for combined improvements in corrosion and wear resistance
TL;DR: A simple and effective surface modification technique, namely palladium-treated thermal oxidation (PTO), has been developed in the present research as discussed by the authors, which has a significantly superior corrosion resistance in boiling HCl solutions compared to the PN-treated and untreated materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
X-ray diffraction characterisation of low temperature plasma nitrided austenitic stainless steels
Yong Sun,Xiaoying Li,T. Bell +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the positions of diffraction peaks from the face centred cubic (fcc) phase deviated in a systematic way from those for an ideal fcc lattice, resulting in a highly distorted and disordered fcc structure.
