Open AccessResearch on the mechanism of the two-dimensional ultrasonic surface burnishing process to enhance the wear resistance for aluminum alloy
The gradient nanostructure is machined on the aluminum (Al) alloy by the two-dimensional ultrasonic surface burnishing process (2D-USBP). The mechanism of why the gradient nanostructure enhances wear resistanc...

Use of X-ray Computed Tomography to Investigate Rolling Contact Cracks in Plasma Sprayed Fe–Cr–B–Si Coating
Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) crack behavior within plasma sprayed coating is investigated. RCF experiments of coatings are conducted under rolling contact. Acoustic emission (AE) is used to monitor the on-lin...
