An Investigation of Wear-Resistant Coatings on an A390 Die-Cast Aluminum Substrate
In this investigation, four coatings were tested for their ability to increase the wear life of A390 aluminum primary clutch sheaves used in continuously variable transmission (CVT). The coatings tested were: hard chrome, electroless nickel metal, hard coat anodizing and composite ceramic coating. …

The Constitutive Behavior of Thick Thermal Barrier Coatings
Plasma-sprayed thick thermal barrier coatings on the order of a millimeter are currently being developed for use in diesel engines with operating temperatures of about 800°C. In this environment, coatings will be subjected to thermomechanical compressive strain cycles that correspond to the …

Generation of Titanium Dioxide Parts using Cellulose Nanocrystal Aerogel Hard Templates
… sheeting, flakes, ribbons, or striations. Ceramic green bodies are then produced by reacting Titanium isopropoxide with water through several different processes to generate amorphous TiO2 either in-situ in the CNC aerogel or as a suspension for infiltration under varying pressure. Green …

Geometry control of recrystallized silicon wafers for solar applications
… whereby the wafer was first coated in a ceramic slurry and subsequently embedded in a powder shell. The new technique resulted in slightly inferior thickness control than the powder shell technique with 64 [micro]m of variation across the wafer's length and a normalized variation of …

Effect of thermal annealing and carbon implantation on the functional properties of nanocomposite TiSiN coatings on steel
… to tailor the properties of nanocomposite coatings. Advanced characterisation techniques are applied to identify the mechanisms that control the mechanical, tribological, and corrosion behaviours of these coatings. Cutting tools protected by these coatings are anticipated to exhibit a …

Corrosion Behaviors of Coated Aluminum Alloys in Simulated Corrosive Environment
… corrosion of an aluminum alloy with and without coatings under simulated corrosive environments. Coatings were selected and applied from commercial materials and techniques, consisting of microceramic, epoxy primer, and topcoat. The experiments for coated specimens were carried out under various …

Design and fabrication of precision carbon nanotube-based flexural transducers
… including annealing and the use of a protective ceramic coating were investigated in order to reduce the noise in the sensor. From these investigations, best practices for the design and manufacturing of CNT-based piezoresistive sensors were established. Using these best practices, it is possible …
