The purpose of the plasma oxidation process is to increase the hardness, corrosion resistance and to improve the biocompatibility properties of Ti6Al4V alloys by thickening the natural oxide in the material, which is produced by this treatment. The aim of this work is to verify the effect of temperature on the thickness, hardness and wear resistance of the Ti6Al4V alloy treated with plasma oxidation. The treatment was performed using a Pulsed DC vacuum reactor, with a gas ratio of 60% Ar and 40% O2 and 1.65 torr pressure for 1 hour of treatment, at temperatures of 480°C, 520°C, 670°C and 705°C. In regards to the multilayer formation of anatase and rutile, it was observed that the layer thickness increased as the treatment temperature increased. The increase of surface hardness provided by the treatment caused a considerable increase in the wear resistance of the studied material. The greatest layer thickness and surface hardness were obtained for the material treated at 705°C, but the lowest wear volume was obtained for the material treated at 520°C.

The tribological properties such as surface hardness, friction and wear have been studied for AISI 316L stainless steel substrates which were co‐ion implanted with zirconium and oxygen ions. It is found that the wear resistance for AISI 316L stainless steel substrates implanted with zirconium and oxygen ions increased quite a lot. It is concluded that the increase in surface microhardness and the decrease in friction coefficient of AISI 316L stainless steel substrates play an important role in improving the wear resistance, and the relationship between relative wear volume and microhardness is correlated for zirconium and oxygen co‐ion implantation.

In this study, friction and wear properties of backup roll steels with different chemical compositions subjected to various heat treatment processes were investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and microindentation to figure out changes in microstructure during wear testing. The results showed that wear of backup roll was mainly consisted of sliding wear with some contribution from abrasive wear. The surface of backup roll material depicted obvious ploughing characteristics and plastic deformation zones after wear processing. The wear scar width, wear volume, hardened layer thickness and plastically deformed layer thickness of the backup roll material all decreased as substrate hardness increased. The wear resistance of the material enhanced with the matrix hardness. On the other hand, increasing contents of Mo, V, Nd and other elements influenced dispersion and fine grain strengthening. By comparison, increasing contents of C, Si and Mn affected the solid solution strengthening. Both methods improved wear resistance of the backup roll. The working layer of the backup roll produced by the integral induction hardening process was identified as mainly tempered martensite. In sum, the wear resistance of induction hardened backup roll significantly improved when compared to conventional differential temperature quenching.

Thermal oxidation (TO) treatments were performed at 873 K, 898 K, 923 K, 948 K, 973 K, 998 K and 1023 K for 10 h in air to improve the wear and corrosion resistance of Ti 6 Al 4 V alloy. The effect of TO temperature on microstructural characterizations and surface properties of the obtained TO layers were investigated. The results showed that TO layers with various thickness values were formed on Ti 6 Al 4 V alloy under different temperatures. The thickness of the TO layers increased with the increasing of TO temperature. TO layer that was obtained at 973 K suggested the highest surface hardness and the best wear resistance. TO layer that was realized at 948 K exhibited superior corrosion resistance to other TO layers. TO treatment could be considered as an effective method for preventing wear and corrosion of Ti 6 Al 4 V alloy.

Temperature affects both elastic and inelastic scattering of electrons in a crystal. The Debye-Waller factor, B, describes the influence of temperature on the elastic scattering of electrons, whereas the imaginary part of the (complex) atomic form factor, fc = fr + ifi, describes the influence of temperature on the inelastic scattering of electrons (i.e. absorption). In HRTEM simulations, two possible ways to include absorption are: (i) an approximate method in which absorption is described by a phenomenological constant, μ, i.e. fi; - μfr, with the real part of the atomic form factor, fr, obtained from Hartree-Fock calculations, (ii) a more accurate method in which the absorptive components, fi of the atomic form factor are explicitly calculated. In this contribution, the inclusion of both the Debye-Waller factor and absorption on HRTEM images of a (Oll)-oriented GaAs crystal are presented (using the EMS software.Fig. 1 shows the the amplitudes and phases of the dominant 111 beams as a function of the specimen thickness, t, for the cases when μ = 0 (i.e. no absorption, solid line) and μ = 0.1 (with absorption, dashed line).

Under high-speed and heavy-load conditions, the influence of temperature on the gear system is extremely important. Basically, the current work on the effect of temperature mostly considers the flash temperature or the overall temperature field to cause expansion at the meshing point and then affects nonlinear factors such as time-varying meshing stiffness, which lead to the deterioration of the dynamic transmission. This work considers the effect of temperature on the material’s elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio and relates the temperature to the time-varying meshing stiffness. The effects of temperature on the elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio are expressed as functions and brought into the improved energy method stiffness calculation formula. Then, the dynamic characteristics of the gear system are analyzed. With the bifurcation diagram, phase, Poincaré, and fast Fourier transform plots of the gear system, the influence of temperature on the nonlinear dynamics of the gear system is discussed. The numerical analysis results show that as the temperature increases, the dynamic response of the system in the middle-speed region gradually changes from periodic motion to chaos.

Rheological behaviors of high acyl (HA) gellan are not well understood partially because of its relatively late commercialization compared to low acyl gellan. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of temperature (5-30 °C), calcium (0, 1 and 10 mM) and gellan concentrations (0.0044-0.1000% w/v) on the flow behaviors of high acyl gellan aqueous solutions using rheological tests. Gellan solutions with 0 or 1 mM added Ca++ exhibited shear thinning behavior at gellan concentrations above 0.0125%. The influence of temperature on apparent viscosity (shear rate, 100 s-1) of gellan solutions can be described with an Arrhenius relationship. The apparent viscosity of gellan solution at low concentrations was more sensitive to temperature changes. The addition of Ca++ led to a decrease in flow resistance for a dilute gellan solution (<0.0125%), but an increased resistance for a relatively concentrated gellan solution (>0.0125%).

Nitriding is usually used to improve the surface properties of steel materials. In this way, the wear resistance of steels is improved. We conducted a series of studies in order to investigate the microstructural, mechanical and tribological properties of salt bath nitrided AISI 4140 steel. The present study has two parts. For the first phase, the tribological behavior of the AISI 4140 steel which was nitrided in sulfinuz salt bath (SBN) was compared to the behavior of the same steel which was untreated. After surface characterization using metallography, microhardness and sliding wear tests were performed on a block-on-cylinder machine in which carbonized AISI 52100 steel discs were used as the counter face. For the examined AISI 4140 steel samples with and without surface treatment, the evolution of both the friction coefficient and of the wear behavior were determined under various loads, at different sliding velocities and a total sliding distance of 1000 m. The test results showed that wear resistance increased with the nitriding process, friction coefficient decreased due to the sulfur in salt bath and friction coefficient depended systematically on surface hardness. For the second part of this study, four artificial neural network (ANN) models were designed to predict the weight loss and friction coefficient of the nitrided and unnitrided AISI 4140 steel. Load, velocity and sliding distance were used as input. Back-propagation algorithm was chosen for training the ANN. Statistical measurements of R2, MAE and RMSE were employed to evaluate the success of the systems. The results showed that all the systems produced successful results.

The liquid and mechanical mixing method was used in addition to ultrasound technology to prepare samples according to standard conditions. The percentage of cementing with ceramic powder was adopted from 1% to 4% as a weight ratio, and by using mixing drivers, nanocomposites were prepared depending on the theoretical density of the components. The velvet density was measured using Archimedes' method, and the results showed a successive improvement and increase in density with the weight ratio of addition. The results of the particulate hardness test showed a significant improvement in the results of the prepared nanostructures compared to the base sample (pure epoxy). With regard to the properties of wear resistance (wear modulus) using the screw-on-disk method, the cemented samples showed a higher wear resistance compared to the base sample. The results were interpreted based on the values of density and hardness in addition to the properties possessed by the ceramic powder of high surface area and average granular size of 32 nanometers through scanning electron microscopy. In this work, nanostructures based on (a polymer) supported with nanoscale zirconium dioxide powder were developed.
