Maintenance-related decisions are often based on the expected number of interventions during a specified period of time. The proper estimation of this quantity relies on the choice of the probabilistic model that best fits ...

Although titanium and its alloys own good mechanical properties and excellent corrosion resistance, these materials present poor tribological properties for specific applications that require wear resistance. In order to ...

The corrosion behaviour of metal matrix composites (MMCs) is strictly linked with the presence of heterogeneities such as reinforcement phase, microcrevices, porosity, secondary phase precipitates, and interaction products. ...

An attractive way to obtain low cost calcium zirconate (CaZrO3) composites is mixing natural limestone or dolomite with zirconia. These CaZrO3 based ceramic composites were often investigated as a promising high refractory ...

The superiority of superaustenitic stainless steel (SASS) lies in its good weldability and great resistance to stress corrosion and pitting, because of its higher chromium, molybdenum, and nitrogen contents, when compared ...

In the sequence of the research line being developed in the GrMaTS Laboratory (Grupo de Materiais, Tribologia e Superfícies), this project aims to study the effect of the martensitic layer obtained through the Solution ...
