Effect of increased manganese addition and mould type on the slurry erosion characteristics of Cr-Mn iron systems
The wear resistance of high chromium iron is well recorded. However, the same is not the case as regards the use of manganese at higher percentages in high chromium irons and its influence on wear behaviour. H...

Influence of roughness parameters on coefficient of friction under lubricated conditions
Surface texture and thus roughness parameters influence coefficient of friction during sliding. In the present investigation, four kinds of surface textures with varying roughness were attained on the steel pl...

Subsurface deformation and the role of surface texture—A study with Cu pins and steel plates
The extent of subsurface deformation below the worn surface influences friction and transfer layer formation during sliding. Thus, in this study, the extent of plastic deformation and strain localization event...

Analysis of filler-fibre interaction in fly ash filled short fibre-epoxy composites using ultrasonic NDE
Size and aspect ratio are believed to influence the rheology or the flow in the mixture and in turn the mechanical performance of the composites. Fillers and fibres when used in combination are expected to com...

Repeated drop weight impacts and post-impact ILSS tests on glass-epoxy composite
E glass epoxy laminates of thicknesses in the range 2–5 mm were subjected to repeated impacts. For each thickness the number of hits to cause tup penetration was determined and the value of this number was hig...

Role of alumina in flexure of glass/epoxy composites
The influence of particulate additions of alumina on the flexural properties of glass-fabric/epoxy composites was studied. The additions improved translaminar flexural strength, while decreasing interlaminar s...
