Cold spray as a powder metallurgy process for production of nickel aluminium bronze.

Nickel aluminium bronze (NAB) alloys are known for their excellent strength and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for maritime and industrial applications. NAB is producible by Powder Metallurgy (PM) but typically requires high compaction pressure. The objective of this study is to investigate the manufacturing of NAB using the cold spray additive manufacturing (AM) process and to compare its properties to those produced by traditional methods such as casting and PM.

Preliminary study of microbiologically influenced corrosion by Pseudomonas aeruginosa on high Chromium white iron.

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) poses a significant challenge to various industries, leading to substantial economic losses and potential safety hazards. Despite extensive research on the MIC resistance of various materials, there is a lack of studies focusing on High Chromium White Iron (HCWI) alloys, which are widely used in wear-resistant applications. This study addresses this knowledge gap by providing a comprehensive investigation of the MIC resistance of three HCWI alloys with varying chromium contents (22 wt%, 30.
