Austenitic stainless steel materials are widely used in systems that require high oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance. However, in contact with other surfaces, these materials show a high coefficient of friction ...

Este trabalho apresenta um estudo das propriedades mecânicas e tribológicas de compósitos de alumina reforçados com partículas de nióbio obtidos pela técnica de sinterização por plasma pulsado (Spark Plasma Sintering – ...

The objective of this work was to obtain an EPDM elastomeric formulation for application at high temperatures. The influence of characteristics such as the ethene, propene, and diene content and Mooney viscosity, the use ...

Contamination by bacterial biofilms has a strong negative impact, especially when given on the surface of prostheses, implants, pins and other medical-surgical devices. In this study metal samples of Titanium cp and AISI ...

Diamond-like Carbon films (DLC) films, despite research being developed over four decades, have restricted industrial use and prevent massive application in recent years due to the low adhesion of this material to ferrous ...
