Characterization of boride-rich hardfacing on carbon steel by arc spray and GMAW processes
TL;DR: In this paper, Arc spraying and gas metal arc welding (GMAW) were employed to form a series of boride-rich coatings on the surface of low carbon steel using a boron-rich cored wire electrode.

Tribological behavior of PCD tools during superfinishing turning of the Ti6Al4V alloy using cryogenic, hybrid and flood as lubri-coolant environments
TL;DR: In this paper, wear and its inherent mechanisms were studied during the process of machining Ti6Al4V alloy, using PCD (Polycrystalline Compact Diamond) tools under superfinishing conditions set within the following environments: cryogenic (liquid n 2 ), hybrid (liquid N 2 + fluid at minimal quantity of lubricant) and flood (vegetable fluid).

The effect of chromic acid treatment on the mechanical and tribological properties of aramid fibre reinforced ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene composite.
TL;DR: Although only a relatively small improvement is observed in the modulus, yield stress and stress at break, of 33, 17 and 9%, respectively, a substantial enhancement in wear resistance is observed.

Abrasive wear mechanisms of multi-components ferrous alloys abraded by soft, fine abrasive particles
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of micro structural parameters (eutectic carbides and matrix hardness) on the micro abrasive wear of multi-component ferrous alloys abraded by soft, fine abrasive particles is analysed.

Mapping hail meteorological observations for prediction of erosion in wind turbines
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used UK meteorological data to develop a realistic damage model for hailstone impact in wind turbine blades, which can assist in the development of a realistic impact model for singular impact.
