Corrosion and Wear, or a combination of both, are the main causes of degradation of metals used in the various industrial sectors. Degradation of the metals can be slowed down by adding a layer of resistant coating on the metal surface. This coating separates the base metal from a corrosive environment, reduces wear, and improves the appearance of the metal. The workpiece after coating becomes a composite that has properties far better than the substrate alone. There are various coating techniques, HVOF is one of the most important and widely used processes to protect the metals from wear, corrosion by providing hard and dense coatings. WC coating done by the high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spray method is the widely used method for providing a layer of corrosive resistance to a wide range of materials that are used in many different industries. In this study, Tungsten carbide (WC-12CO) Coating, HVOF Spray method was studied in great detail. Tungsten Carbide coating was done on a SUS400 Stainless steel substrate using HVOF Spray Process. An, Experiment was done to analyze the various effect of different parameters namely, oxygen rate, propane (fuel) rate, powder rate, spray distance on hardness, and surface roughness of a SUS 400 Stainless Steel substrate. Process optimization was done by using Taguchi and ANOVA methods. It was found that achieving maximum hardness was greatly dependent on propane (fuel) rate followed by powder rate, spray distance, and oxygen rate. The hardness decreases with the increasing fuel rate. And, achieving minimum surface roughness was greatly dependent on spray distance followed by oxygen rate, propane (fuel) rate, powder rate. Surface Roughness increases with increasing spray distance.

To improve the machining efficiency as well as surface roughness, a series of experiments employed fixed abrasive tools are carried out for stainless steel substrate, and influences of properties of fixed abrasive tool on the lapping process are studied. It is found that the resin is the best bonding material in this study. The surface roughness under different concentration of bonding material is similar, and the material removal rate (MRR) increases as the concentration of bonding material decreases from 50% to 20%. But too little of bonding material results into low bond strength that causing low material removal rate. It is also found that higher shear strength, lower wear rate, and the shear strength of the tool with 35% bonding material is the highest. It is obvious that the surface roughness and material removal rate decline as the grit size decreases. The roughness of surface lapped with resin bonded 4000# SiC abrasive tool comes to 18nm, and the material removal rate is 0.63μm/min.

This paper focuses on the application of Taguchi method for optimization of SUS440 stainless steel polishing process parameters to obtain the best finish. An optimization experiment for polishing stainless steel with SiO2 was designed by Taguchi method. Surface roughness Ra is considered as criteria for optimization. Influence of parameters involving load, speed, and slurry concentration for a given workmaterial with given abrasive (material and size) are discussed, and the optimum polishing conditions are figured out. Compared with single parameter experimental results, it illustrates that the experiment design based on Taguchi method can successfully applied to determine the optimum processing conditions for SUS440 stainless steel polishing process.

AbstractA reactive sputtering process was developed for the production of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 films on a moving stainless steel substrate, in simulation of the operation of a roll coater. Cu, In and Ga fluxes were provided through magnetron sputtering and were reacted in a flux of Se on the heated substrate. CdS films were deposited either by chemical bath deposition (CBD) or by sputtering. Devices of the type steel/Cr/Mo/CIGS/CdS/ZnO/Ag were completed by sputtering ZnO layers and by screen printing grid lines. We made devices with efficiency values above 9%. A uniformity study was performed on a CIGS film and on small area devices made from it. The target length was 12”. Targets of this size are expected to produce a uniformly thick deposit over a range of 6-8”. The film thickness was 2.54 μm over a range of 6” with a standard deviation ó of 0.04 μm. The film composition was uniform over a range of 16”. The values of Cu/III and Ga/III were 0.84 and 0.31, with ó values of 0.02 and 0.01, respectively. The efficiency of allsputtered devices was uniform over a range of 12”, well beyond the 6” wide range of constant CIGS film thickness. Their efficiency was 6.6% on average with ó=0.6%.

In order to prepare a new type of anode material, stainless steel was selected as substrate material. The β-PbO2 coating on stainless steel substrate was prepared under the appropriate plating solution, and the PbO2-MnO2 coating was prepared with thermal decomposition. The crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction; Surface morphology was test by Scanning Electron Microscopy; the energy spectrum was used to determine element mass-fraction and the ratio of atomic number of the coatings.
