Microstructure and wear behavior of arc thermal sprayed base-cutter blades in sugarcane harvesters by Chuleeporn Paa-rai, Nuchira Dejang

“…The present study aims to improve the wear resistance of the blades with an economical surface treatment, so wire arc thermal spray was applied with two alternative types of cored wires, namely chrome nickel amorphous (AM) and titanium tungsten carbide (TiW). The microstructure study showed that AM coating contained an amorphous structure, while the TiW coating appeared to have a relatively non-homogeneous structure containing W and Ti carbide dispersion resulting in a higher hardness (876.40 HV0.1) than that of AM coating (814.48 HV0.1). …”

Modeling of a microstructure and calculation of a tortuosity factor for cathodic materials of LSM–YSZ by A. S. Farlenkov, M. V. Anan’ev

“…In this work changes in physico-chemical properties (oxygen interphase exchange rate and specific resistance) and microstructure parameters (TPB length and tortuosity factor) with time have been analyzed to find the quantitative relationships on the example of composite cathode material LSM-YSZ. 3D microstructure of LSM-YSZ materials has been reconstructed and tortuosity factor has been calculated on the basis of SEM image analysis using the original software.…”

Fractography as a tool to assess the occurrence of fatigue fractures in complex microstructure structural components by D. Firrao, P. Matteis

“…Fractographic assessment of fatigue fractures may be difficult if they occur in metallic components characterized by low ductility complex microstructures. In these cases reconciliation of known fatigue rupture mechanisms with fractographic appearance of fatigue fractured surfaces is challenging. …”
