    Emerging processing routes
    (De Gruyter, 2023) Prakash, O.; Kumar, R.; Tapas, V.; Kumar, A.; Naveen, B.
    High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are produced using a number of processing techniques. HEAs have been produced in a variety of materials, including films, dense solid castings, and powder metallurgy components. The three types of processing routes-melting and casting, powder metallurgy, and deposition techniques-can be broadly divided into three classes. In order to create HEAs in the form of rods, bars, and ribbons, melting and casting procedures have been used, along with equilibrium and nonequilibrium cooling rates. The vacuum arc melting, vacuum induction melting, and melt spinning processes are the most widely used melt processing methods. The primary solid-state processing method to create sintered goods has been mechanical alloying (MA), followed by sintering. The surface modification methods utilized to create both thin films and thick layers of HEAs on various substrates include plasma nitriding, cladding, and sputtering. This chapter provides a brief overview of the various synthesis and processing methods used to create HEAs. The processing pathways for equiatomic and nonequiatomic HEAs are comparable. © 2023 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston. All rights reserved.

    Experimental study on Abrasive wear behaviour of flexible green composite intended to be used as Protective Cladding for Structures
    (ModTech Publishing House office@hotelfloramamaia.ro, 2019) Mahesh, V.; Joladarashi, S.; Kulkarni, S.M.
    In the present study, the influence of material and process parameters on the two body abrasive wear behavior of Jute-Rubber flexible composite is investigated using Taguchi’s design of experiments (DOE). Three different stacking sequences of composite namely jute-rubber-jute (JRJ), jute-rubber-rubber-jute (JRRJ) and jute-rubber-jute-rubber-jute (JRJRJ) are considered and their wear behavior is evaluated using two body abrasion test with multi-pass condition for abrading distances of 0.4 m to 1.2 m in increments of 0.4 m and varied load of 9.81 N, 12.26 N and 14.71 N. Abrasive volume loss and specific wear rate as function of abrading distance are determined. The results from Taguchi’s design of experiments show that for two body dry sliding wear situation, an abrading distance significantly affects the specific wear rate compared to load and composite configuration. However, volume loss is more and appreciable when jute fabric is exposed to abrasive medium rather than when the rubber is exposed. Surface morphology study is carried out using a scanning electron microscope to get an insight of wear mechanism of constituents of the flexible composite. Stretching of asperities results in wear of the rubber, whereas fiber breakage causes wear of the jute. Rubber being the dominating constituent of flexible composite results in providing better wear resistant properties and thus can act as a potential candidate for sacrificial structures to protect primary structures subjected to wear. © International Journal of Modern Manufacturing Technologies.

    Microstructure, mechanical and wear properties of SiC and Mo reinforced NiCr microwave cladding
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2024) H, S.; Ravi Prakash, R.; Prasad, C.D.; Ramesh, M.R.; Phanibhushana, P.; Vasudev, H.; Kumar, S.
    The NiCrMoSiC composite cladding on Titan-31 base alloy was produced using a hybrid microwave heating process. The produced claddings were examined for microstructural, phase analysis, microhardness, and surface roughness using suitable techniques. The linear reciprocator ball on plate wear test was conducted using a static alumina indenter on microwave cladding. Studies have been done on track specifications for friction and wear. It is feasible to fabricate a dense microstructure with uniform distribution of hard phases, absence of pores and fractures, and strong metallurgical bonds. Typically, cladding is two times as durable as the underlying metal. The cladding has a lower coefficient of friction than the substrate as a result of enhanced hardness and improved internal lubricity brought on by the production of hard carbide phases. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
