This work proposes the design of laser-textured patterns for development surfaces with high anchor densities capable promoting solid mechanical bonding highly abrasive sintered diamond/carbide-reinforced. Cu-based composite coatings excellent wear resistance. The results show dense and well-adhered onto how higher nucleation TiC/Fe3C on diamond favours its greater within matrix, preventing graphitization, detachment. Reductions above 40% 60% in CoF were observed, under dry conditions,...
Achieving the theoretical strength of a metallic alloy material is demanding task that usually requires utilizing one or more well-established routes: (1) Decreasing grain size to stop slow down dislocation mobility, (2) adding external barriers pathways, (3) altering crystal structure, (4) combining two previous discrete strategies, is, implementing seeds into an amorphous matrix. Each outlined methods has clear limitations; hence, further improvements are required. We present unique...
