The aim of this study is to explore two different tungsten carbide binders (Co and Ni–Fe) and
then impose various sintering temperature treatments. Experimental results show that the …

Abstract Ti 40 Nb 25 Cr 15 Mo 10 Al 10 and Ti 40 Nb 20 Cr 20 Mo 10 Al 10 refractory high-
entropy alloys (RHEAs) were designed and fabricated, aiming at investigating their …

The “heat checking” phenomenon, which occurs due to thermal fatigue, is one of the
dominant mechanisms in shortening the lifetime of dies which undergo sequential in-service …

In this study, we performed three surface modifications for AISI H13 steel to study their
protective effects in 1023 K molten aluminum. Results showed that air oxidation can produce …

In this work, the H13 hot work die steels were surface modified and experimentally
evaluated in a homemade thermal fatigue simulation tester. Two types of nitrided compound …

In this study, liquid oxy-nitriding (LON) at different temperatures (430° C, 450° C, 470° C)
was employed on the AISI H13 steel. Effects of LON on wear and molten aluminum …

A zeolite coating was synthesized on a nitrocarburized H13 steel substrate to improve its
wear and corrosion resistance using a two-step hydrothermal synthesis approach. The wear …

This study aims to explore a series of Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) and hot-press sintering
processes in order to examine the effects on the mechanical properties, microstructures and …

The use of surface treatments is essential to increase the in-service lifetime of hot forging
dies due to their improvement in terms of wear and fatigue resistances. Two thermochemical …

Possibility of improving the resistance of AISI H13 steel to molten aluminum corrosion by
liquid nitrocarburizing (LNC) was explored. The effects of the LNC parameters in terms of …
