Advances in environmental issues related to materials science have been done due to the possibility of the use of alternative materials replacing conventional ones with similar characteristics. The Brazilian Foundry has ...

The use of hard coatings has many applications in the metal-mechanic industry due to the improvement of surface properties such as high hardness and wear and corrosion resistance. One of the most important techniques for ...

The aim of this study was to incorporate styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) industrial scraps into a base formulation of identical composition used in the fabrication process of extruded profiles. Technical and environmental ...

The use of cutting tools in progressively more severe conditions in the metal-mechanics industry and the requirement to increase tool life against friction, wear and high temperature corrosion made of surface treatments ...

Surface engineering has been searching to attend the industrial demand for tools, parts and other components with larger lifecycles and higher wear resistance, by means of protective coatings whose mechanical, physical-chemical ...

High temperature plasma nitriding of yttria-partially stabilized zirconia in atmospheric pressure microwave plasma was investigated. The morphological, mechanical and physico-chemical characteristics of the resulting ...

This work presents a comparative evaluation of the environmental performance of two materials: a wood panel and a three layers synthetic panel, both used in the production of the load box of semi-trailer for grains ...

In the final milling process of free form surfaces, commonly employed in the production of molds and dies, the knowledge of the cutting conditions and a strategy for choosing adequate processing routes in the milling of ...

The present work aims to analyze the mechanical, thermal, dynamicalmechanical thermal properties and morphology of composites based on recycled polystyrene and wood flour. Composites with different types and levels of ...

Rubber compositions of copoly(butadiene-styrene) (SBR) with incorporation of an expanded residue from shoe industry (SBR scraps) were developed aiming later application to obtain cellular composites.n The amounts of the ...
