THE EFFECT OF LASER SURFACE HARDENING ON THE WEAR AND FRICTION CHARACTERISTICS OF ACICULAR BAINITIC DUCTILE IRON
Nd-Yag (Neodymium Yttrium) pulsed wave laser has been used to modify and refine the surface erbaviva sunscreen microstructure of acicular bainitic ductile iron.The wear characteristics evaluated by adhesion and abrasion wear tests while friction characteristics evaluated by using strain gauge technique of the laser processed and unprocessed (as-cas
