Effect of Self-Lubricating Carbon Materials on the Tribological Performance of Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene
N. Camacho, J. D. Escobedo-Rodríguez, J. M. Alvarado-Orozco +1
Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been the gold standard for total knee replacements. Due to the knee's natural movements, UHMWPE wear debris production is inev…
Effect of pre-oxidation treatments on the structural, microstructural, and chemical properties of (Ni,Pt)Al systems
J. E. Garcia-Herrera, D. G. Espinosa-Arbelaez, L. A. Caceres-Diaz +5
The effect of isothermal pre-oxidation treatments on the \b{eta}-(Ni,Pt)Al + René N5 system degradation is here reported. The oxidation treatments were carried out from 900 (mostly…
Plasma-assisted nitriding of M2 tool steel: An experimental and theoretical approach
J. M. Gonzalez-Carmona, G. C. Mondragon-Rodriguez, J. E. Galvan-Chaire +4
Present work was aimed to investigate the effect of nitriding time; 1, 1.5, 2.5 & 3.5 h, on surface characteristics & mechanical properties (surface nano-hardness, hardness Vickers…
Diamond-Like Carbon Coatings on Plasma Nitrided M2 Steel: effect of deposition parameters on adhesion properties
A. Moreno-Barcenas, J. M Alvarado-Orozco, J. M. Gonzalez Carmona +3
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings have excellent mechanical and tribological properties, as well as good wear and corrosion resistance. They are well established in medical, metal…
