Metallic alloys used in various industrial applications can encounter high operating temperatures for varying periods of time. Under these conditions, metals are susceptible to oxidation, ultimately leading to the failure of that component or even com . . .

There is an ongoing need in the marine industry for metals that withstand the harsh, salt-rich environment of sea water and air. Boron-containing titanium alloys were recently developed to improve the mechanical properties of titanium alloys. However, . . .

Ceramic-ceramic composites have high compressive strengths and superior erosion and wear resistance relative to metallic alloys. Potential applications for these novel materials include pump components, bearings and other applications where a combinat . . .

Surface modification is an effective approach to extend the lifetime of metallic alloys in corrosive environments. Halide activated pack cementation (HAPC) is a cost-effective process that can produce corrosion-resistant surfaces, e.g., aluminum-rich . . .
