Wear is nothing but loss of material by usage. In a mechanical industry mechanical components will operate
under severe load, temperature and high speeds. Under such a type of situation, when metal to metal contact take
place the surfaces that comes in contact is subjected to wear. These should be considered as a serious affair in an
industry because if the process of wear continues it can reduce service life of the component and also to the
entire mechanical system to which the component has been used. In the light of the above the present work
mainly deals with the study of wear behavior of hot rolled steel with and without zirconia coating on the contact
surface and the effect of zirconia coating with varying thickness.
MICROSTRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION AND HOT EROSION BEHAVIOR OF CRC-NICR COATED ...IAEME Publication

Sensitization of Gold Dust in 430 Grade Stainless SteelIJAEMSJORNAL
'Gold dusting' is a surface defect that is sometimes observed on cold-rolled AISI type 430 stainless steel. Gold dusting is characterized by a sparkling appearance, which results from small flakes of metal on the cold rolled surface, the flakes are mostly elongated in the rolling direction. The processing steps include continuous casting, hot rolling, continuous annealing, and pickling. One possibility is that the flakes of metal are grains that had been undercut by intergranular corrosion such intergranular corrosion may occur during pickling after the annealing step (which itself follows hot rolling). If intergranular corrosion does occur during this pickling step, the intergranular cavities would be elongated by subsequent cold rolling; this can account for the observed morphology of gold dusting. If the steel has been sensitized, intergranular corrosion may occur during pickling. Pickling is commonly carried out by electrolytic descaling in a neutral sodium sulphate solution followed by immersion in a nitric acid/hydrofluoric acid bath. The sensitized type 430 stainless steel does, indeed, suffer intergranular corrosion in a nitric acid/hydrofluoric acid bath, while it is largely unaffected during electrolytic pickling. Hence, sensitization is a possible cause of gold dusting.

Wear and corrosion studies on ferritic stainless steel (ss 409 m)eSAT Journals
Abstract The wear and corrosion behavior of SS 409M have been evaluated and compared with Mild steel ferritic stainless steel SS 430, and austenitic stainless steel SS 304. The SS 409M is a utility grade ferritic stainless steel, and has a very low Ni percentage less than 0.30%. Annealed SS 409M contains ferrite and low percentage of tempered martensite whereas normalized SS 409M has low ferrite and higher percentage of tempered martensite. The manufacturing cost for this steel is low as compared to other grades of stainless steel but it has high strength with excellent corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance and can be easily fabricated. Thus SS 409M has been found to be a suitable material for replacing mild steel in structural applications. SS 409M has also got good wear resistance and this can be considered as an alternate material for mild steel in the railway wagons, track armor, and chemical tanks. The dry wear test has been carried out using the pin on disc machine for all the specimens. The results show that 409M has higher wear resistance as compared to mild steel and SS 430. The corrosion test has been carried out using the potentiostat for SS 409M both in annealed and in the normalized condition and the results are compared with SS 430 and SS 304. SS 304 and SS 430 stainless steels show excellent corrosion resistance while SS 409M both in annealed and in normalized condition reveal higher corrosion resistance than mild steel. Results are discussed with published work on these steels. Keywords: SS 409M, SS 409M, SS 430, SS 304

Experimental Study on Surface Roughness by Using Abrasive ParticlesIJERA Editor
New advancement of technology and never satisfying demands of the civilization are putting huge pressure on the natural fuel resources and these resources are at a constant threat to its sustainability. Surface finish has a vital influence on functional properties such as wear resistance and power loss due to friction on most of the engineering components. Voltage, mesh number, revolutions per minute (rpm) of electromagnet, and percentage weight of abrasives has been identified as important process parameters affecting surface roughness. The experiments were planned using response surface methodology and percentage change in surface roughness (ΔRa) was considered as response. Analysis of experimental data showed that percentage change in surface roughness (ΔRa) was highly influenced by mesh number followed by percentage weight of abrasives, rpm of electromagnet, and voltage. The process has been investigated extensively in the finishing of cylindrical surfaces. The surface finish was found to improve significantly with an increase in the grain size, relative size of abrasive particles vis-à-vis the iron particles, feed rate and current. Super finishing is a micro-finishing process that produces a controlled and smooth surface condition on work pieces. It is not primarily a sizing operation, its major purpose is to produce a surface on a work piece capable of sustaining uneven distribution of a load by improving the geometrical accuracy. The wear life of the parts micro finished to maximum smoothness is extended considerably. According to the design of experimentation, mathematical model for Lapping operation on advance ceramic material is proposed. In order to get minimum values of the surface roughness, optimization of the mathematical model is done and optimal operation of the examined factors is going to be determined. The obtained res

In this work, effect of welding electrode, welding current and corrosion media on
corrosion behaviour of three kinds of stainless steel (AISI 304, AISI 316 and AISI 410)
was investigated. Welding was performed by manual metal arc welding process using
three types of welding electrode (E308L, E316L and E310). Corrosion behaviour of
the welded joints was examined in two chloride mediums (3.5%NaCl and 3.5%KCl).
The results showed that welding electrodes E316L and E310, which contain Mo and
Ni respectively, increase corrosion resistance in of the weldment. The increment in
heat input by increasing welding current caused reduction in corrosion resistance by
facilitating carbon diffusion and formation of chromium carbides in the weld area. It
was also found that corrosion rate of 3.5% NaCl was more aggressive than 3.5% KCl.

of code in to another. The proposed design leads to the reduction of power consumption compared with
conventional logic circuits
An Efficient Video Watermarking Using Color Histogram Analysis and Biplanes I...IJERA Editor
Video watermarking is a novel technology that has the ability to solve the problem of illegal digital video
manipulation and distribution. In video watermarking, the copyright bits are embedded into video bit streams.
This paper proposes an effective, robust and indiscernible video watermarking algorithm. A video can also
undergo several intentional attacks like frame dropping, averaging, cropping and median filtering and
unintentional attacks like addition of noise and compression which can compromise copyright information,
thereby denying the authentication. In this paper, the design and implementation of SVD and multiple bit plane
image based watermarking is proposed. The developed method embeds 8 bit-plane images, obtained from single
gray scale watermark image, into different frames of a video sequence. In this algorithm, some of the luminous
values in the video pictures are selected and divided into groups, and the watermark bits are embedded by
adjusting the relative relationship of the member in each group. A sufficient number of watermark bits will be
embedded into the video pictures without causing noticeable distortion. The watermark will be correctly
retrieved at the extraction stage, even after various types of video manipulation and other signal processing
attacks.

Lake Water Quality Indexing To Identify Suitable Sites For Household Utility:...IJERA Editor
Water management practices need a fresh look in order to avoid water crisis in the next two decades. This
essentially requires looking for proper management practices for growing economy and population. The water
resources of the Lake basins remain almost constant while demand of water for various purposes is increasing.
Water pollution as a corollary of accelerated industrial growth has drawn concerns over public health and
environment. Water is required for different purposes like domestic, agricultural, hydro-power, navigation,
recreation, etc. Utilization in all these diverse uses of water should be optimized and an awareness of water as a
inadequate resource should be fostered. Water quality index (WQI) is precious and unique rating to depict the
overall water quality status in appropriate treatment technique to meet the concerned issues. This paper

Automatic Detection Method of Behavior Change in Dam Monitor Instruments Caus...IJERA Editor
A hydroelectric power plant consists of a project of great relevance for the social and economic development of
a country. However, this kind of construction demands extensive attention because the occurrence of unusual
behavior on its structure may result in undesirable consequences. Seismic waves are some of the phenomena
which demand attention of one in charge of a dam safety because once it happens can directly affect the structure
behavior. The target of this work is to present a methodology to automatically detect which monitoring
instruments have gone under any change in pattern and their measurements after the seism. The detection
method proposed is based on a neuro/fuzzy/bayesian formulation which is divided in three steps. Firstly, a
clustering of points in a time series is developed from a self-organizing Kohonen map. Afterwards a fuzzy set is
built to transform the initial time series, with arbitrary distribution, into a new series with beta distribution
probability and thus enable the detection of changing points through a Monte Carlo simulation via Markov
chains. In order to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposal the methodology has been applied in time series
generated by Itaipu power plant building structures measurement instruments, which showed little behavior
change after the earthquake in Chile in 2010.
Development of a Taguchi-based framework for optimizing two quality character...IJERA Editor
A framework based on Taguchi parameter design was developed and successfully demonstrated to optimize two
quality characteristics- surface roughness and angular accuracy in Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM)
process. An orthogonal array (OA)L9was used in the Taguchi experiment design for four controllable
factors, each with three levels. With one non-controllable factor investigated, 18 experiments were conducted in
the Taguchi-based experiment setting, compared to 3
4
(=81) parameter combination as required by a traditional
DOE setting. Conducted for the two response variables, Taguchi experiments from the case study gave the
optimal combination of pulse on time at 9µs (A1), feed rate at 35 in/min (B2), voltage at 8v (C2), and wire
tension at 165g (D3) for surface roughness optmization, and pulse on time at 13µs (A3), feed rate at 35 in/min
(B2), voltage at 8v (C2), and wire tension at 160g (D2) for angular accuracy optmization. This optimal parameter
setting combination was verified through a confirmation run that confirms the optimal quality responses of
126.1µin for surface roughness and 0.024º for angular accuracy. This research ultimately showed the dual
output variable improvement and the framework established itself as a means to solve similar problems in other
machining applications. The developed framework can serve as guidance for researchers to obtain multivariable
optimal setting in a systematic way.

Nepal earthquake caused great disaster. This called for earthquake resistant structure for poor villagers who live
even in single room houses. Generally these one room houses are RCC frame structures having columns at
corners and beams at plinth and roof/floor levels. The structural rigidity of these RCC frame structures against
lateral earthquake loads can be increased drastically by providing extra beams at lintel level throughout the
structure. Both of these structures were modelled and analysed in STAAD Pro software under same loading
conditions and by keeping all other factors same. The results of analysis showed that lintel level beam
throughout the structure was safer by 19% than that of simple RCC frame structure.
Flow Modification over Rotor Blade with Suction Boundary Layer Control TechniqueIJERA Editor
The efficiency of transonic aircraft engines depend upon the performance of compressor rotor. To increase
compressor rotors performance flow separation around rotor blades must be delayed and controlled. The aim
was to control the flow separation of blades using suction boundary layer control method.
Rotor blade has been modelled in designing software CATIA and then a suction surface has been created on
blade and then import these geometries to ANSYS-CFX 14.5 for computational analysis of flow around blades.
Suction slot has been applied at the trailing edge of suction surface and Shear stress transport model has been
used for computational analysis.
Two different suction mass flow rates 1 kg/s and 1.5 kg/s have been used here and boundary layer separation
effects have been changed and this could be readily seen that the velocity vectors have reattached, preventing
the boundary layer separation at the suction surface of the blade.
Spalling Assessment of Self-Compacting Concrete with and Without Polypropylen...IJERA Editor
This research presents an experimental study on the spalling of self-compacting concrete (SCC) with
and without polypropylene (PP) fibres subjected to elevated temperatures and at 2 and 4 hour
exposure times. The results showed spalling occurred in all specimens that did not contain PP fibre in
the concrete mixture above 400oC. On the other hand, spalling did not occur in specimens containing
PP fibres above 0.05 % by volume. Spalling resistance performance was significantly improved. The
hardened densities, weight losses, permeability, and scanning electron microscopy tests showed that
the main cause for spalling was the low permeability of the SCC and the presence of water inside the
concrete. Vapour developed inside the concrete during a fire finds it difficult to escape and will
produce high internal stresses that lead to spalling. Statistical models were devised for the above test.

patient’s sight. Medical examination toward patients with diabetic retinopathy is observed directly through
retinal images using fundus camera. Diabetic retinopathy is classified into four classes based on severity, which
are: normal, non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), and
macular edema (ME). The aim of this research is to develop a method which can be used to classify the level of
severity of diabetic retinopathy based on patient’s retinal images. Seven texture features were extracted from
retinal images using gray level co-occurence matrix three dimensional method (3D-GLCM). These features are
maximum probability, correlation, contrast, energy, homogeneity, and entropy; subsequently trained using
Levenberg-Marquardt Backpropagation Neural Network (LMBP). This study used 600 data of patient’s retinal
images, consist of 450 data retinal images for training and 150 data retinal images for testing. Based on the result
of this test, the method can classify the severity of diabetic retinopathy with sensitivity of 97.37%, specificity of
75% and accuracy of 91.67%
Seismic Microzonation - Principles and MethodologyIJERA Editor
The string of earthquake in India has created a serious problem for engineers and administrators and even for
people also. Metro cities and other big cities in India have experienced severe earthquake hazard problem. This is
same for Himalayan region and even peninsular shield. On 26 jan 2001 , one of the greatest India has ever
experienced strikes in Kachchh , a region of Gujrat . Magnitude of this earthquake was 7.7 (MW) .This earthquake
spread a huge damage which was almost a radius of 400 Kms. This earthquake damaged major cities of Gujrat like
Ahmedabad , Bhavnagar , Surat. No one can say no for same threat for Delhi , national capital of India from local
and probable catastrophic earthquake due to central himalaya . There are many more other Indian cities which are
sitting in thick sedimentry basins along Indo-Gangetic plane and Brahmaputra valley . They have also the same
threat. To reduce the seismic hazard, it is now important to define a correct response in terms of peak ground
acceleration and spectral amplification . Both are highly dependent on local site conditions and also dependent on
source characterization of future expected earthquakes . Microzonation studies are now important for a detailed
ground motion modelling for urban and semi-urban cities of India. This paper presents an overview of seismic
microzonation . Steps required and methodology used for seismic microzoation is also discussed here.
Seismic Response of Adjacent Buildings Connected With Nonlinear Viscous and V...IJERA Editor
Connecting the adjacent buildings with dampers not only mitigates the structural response, but also avoids
pounding. In this paper, the seismic response of two adjacent single storey buildings of different fundamental
frequencies connected with various types of dampers under different earthquake excitations is studied. A
formulation of the equations of motion for model of buildings connected with dampers is presented. The seismic
response of the system is obtained by numerically solving the equations of motion using state-space method.
The effectiveness of various types of dampers, viz., non-linear viscos and viscoelastic dampers in terms of the
reduction of structural responses (i.e., displacements and accelerations) of connected adjacent buildings is
investigated. A parametric study is also conducted to investigate the optimum damping coefficient of the
dampers for adjacent single storey connected buildings. Results show that connecting the adjacent single storey
buildings of different fundamental frequencies by these dampers can effectively reduce the earthquake induced
responses of either building. There exist optimum damper coefficients for minimum earthquake response of the
buildings.
Interference Cancellation by Repeated Filtering in the Fractional Fourier Tra...IJERA Editor
The Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT) is a useful tool that separates signals-of-interest (SOIs) from
interference and noise in non-stationary environments. This requires estimation of the rotational parameter „a‟ to
rotate the signal to a new domain along an axis „ta‟, in which the interference can best be filtered out. The value
of „a‟ is typically chosen as that which minimizes the mean-square error (MSE) between the desired SOI and its
estimate or that minimizes the overlap between the signal and noise, projected onto the axis „ta‟. In this paper, we
extend this concept to perform repeated filtering, in multiple FrFT domains to reduce the MSE further than can
be done with a single FrFT. We perform this solely using MSE as the metric by which to compute „a‟ at each
stage, thereby simplifying the approach and improving performance over conventional single stage FrFT
methods or methods based solely on the frequency domain filtering, such as the Fast Fourier transform (FFT).
We show that the proposed method improves the MSE two or three orders of magnitude over the conventional
methods using L ≤ 3 stages of FrFT filtering

Retention Behavior of Lead Ion in Soil Bentonite LinerIJERA Editor
In this study, it is proposed to obtain breakthrough curves for commonly occurring lead ions in any effluents
through locally available soil amended with 10% bentonite and determine the diffusion coefficients. The
theoretical breakthrough curves of migrating ions in the soil column experiment are generated using
mathematical equation considering effective diffusion coefficients , knowing soil parameters and hydraulic
head. These curves are then compared with experimental curves. In cases where the theoretical and experimental
breakthrough curve do not match, there would be need to consider other parameter retardation factor along with
diffusion coefficient. Theoretical curves are generated for sets of diffusion coefficient and retardation factor.
The sets which give theoretical curve close to experimentally determined breakthrough curves are accepted.
Thus it may be possible to bring out the condition for the dominance of diffusion coefficient and retardation
factor. Then knowing the values of diffusion coefficient and retardation factor along with soil porosity and
hydraulic gradient it is possible to predict the breakthrough times of different ions in the soil. In this work the
breakthrough times of lead ion for the soil of 1m and 0.5m are established. The studies can be extended for any
ion or soil after establishing diffusion coefficient and retardation for the considered ions in the selected liner
under different hydrological regimes.

Shot peening procedures developed over the ago in substantial improvements of fatigue properties and Fatigue life. The use of shot peening on aluminium 7075-T6 plates to improve fatigue properties and improve resistance to stress on the corrosion cracking with help of glass beads and various peening methods. When these components subsequently are loaded in tension or bending to a
stress level in the range below the required for yield, the actual tensile stress at the surface is lower than
that calculated on the basis of load and cross sectional area. Fatigue are major problem which normally
start at or near the surface stressed in tension, thus processes that produce residual surface compressive
stresses in components usually enhance the resistance to fatigue. The impact of glass shots which create
resistance after the shot penning process carried out and also control the effects of failure on aluminium

Abstract Heat accumulation is the major cause that leads to change in material properties affecting seal performance, hence heat dissipation is required. The paper constitutes the method to improve the heat transfer rate in mechanical seal for decreasing the interface temperature of the seal face. Different factors that affect the performance of mechanical seal are friction, wear and its thermal characteristics. Concept of Fourier’s law of heat conduction through cylindrical surfaces is used for optimizing the heat transfer rate. Composite material for mating ring with different thermal conductivity is used to increase the heat transfer rate to enhance the seal performance. Properties of Carbon graphite and silicon carbide were used in the Simulation and simulation was performed using ANSYS Mechanical Module 14.5 and CFD FLUENT. Simulated values for the mating ring made of single material and the composite ring was observed and compared. The interface temperature of the mating ring is effectively decreased, due to increase in heat dissipation. Keywords – Frictional heat, Interface temperature, Leakage, Mating ring, Mechanical seal, Thermal conductivity and Thermal effects.
CoatingsThe component of material surface is often more importan.docxclarebernice
Coatings
The component of material surface is often more important than inside material. (The surface of a component is usually the most important engineering factor.) The corrosion and friction occurs in workpieces during the usage. (While it is in use it is often the surface of a workpiece that is subjected to wear and corrosion.) Increasing research effort was put in the friction and wear for reducing the capital due to the variety of material properties. (The complexity of the tribological properties of materials and the economic aspects of friction and wear justify an increasing research effort.) In the countries with highly industrialized, about one third of total energy is loss to the friction. (In industrialized countries some 30% of all energy generated is ultimately lost through friction, In the highly industrialized countries losses due to friction and wear are put at between 1 and 2% of gross national product.)The research was target on increase the material’s resistance for wearing purpose. (To an increasing degree therefore, the search is on for surface modification techniques, which can increase the wear resistance of materials.)However, the tratditional treatment on surface usually require immense range of thickness. (Unfortunately, there exists an alomost dewildering choice of surface treatments that cover a wide range of thickness.) The treatment was asked to minimize the original properties cost of material. The choice has to be such that the surface treatment does not impair too much the properties of the substrate for which it was originally chosen; Thus, it should focus on the protect layer of the material itself.that is to say, it should not reduce the load-bearing overlooked frequently in surface engineering, with emphasis put rather more on the protective coating itself. Equally, the surface treatment chosen should be suitably related to the problem to be solved. If a thick layer can protect the material from the wear and corrosive, the resistance properties of material should be considering as a system. Since the workpieces are always in touch with other medias. If a thin protective layer may do the job, it does not make much sense in concentrating on processing of a thick layer on top of a substrate. It worth noting here that wear resistance is a property not of materials but of systems, since the material of the workpiece always wears against some other medium. It is its relation to its environment ( lubrication and speed of sliding/ rotation) that determines the wear resistance of the material in a given construction. In general, hardness and ductility are two properties of interplay of wears. As a general rule, wear is determined by the interplay of two opposing properties: ductility and hardness. Those wear obtain higher ductility because the surface layer does not changed. The plastic deformation was improved while the particles constant as same. wear can be reduced by modifying the surface layer in such a w ...

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

ABSTRACT
Wear is nothing but loss of material by usage. In a mechanical industry mechanical components will operate
under severe load, temperature and high speeds. Under such a type of situation, when metal to metal contact take
place the surfaces that comes in contact is subjected to wear. These should be considered as a serious affair in an
industry because if the process of wear continues it can reduce service life of the component and also to the
entire mechanical system to which the component has been used. In the light of the above the present work
mainly deals with the study of wear behavior of hot rolled steel with and without zirconia coating on the contact
surface and the effect of zirconia coating with varying thickness.
Keywords - Wear, Friction, Surface coatings, sliding velocity, Sliding distance
I. INTRODUCTION
Engineering components are subjected to several
modes of failure, fatigue, excess deflections and
wear. Of these wear is the least predictable using
current design methodologies [1]. Till date the
process of wear continues to be a threat to many
manufacturing industries, because, in industries
mechanical components have to operate under severe
conditions such as load, speed or temperature [2].
Under such circumstances when two or more metals
are in sliding contact with each other loss of material
takes place at the contact surface of the material due
to high temperature involved. If this process
continues for a long time then it can reduce the life of
the component and also can have devastating effects
on the entire mechanical system. This can even result
in huge economic loss if the mechanical system fails.
There is constant demand in engineering industry
to improve the performance of the machinery while
maintaining or reducing the manufacturing cost. In
many types of industrial machinery surface damage
generated by abrasive or sliding contact limits the
durability and product reliability. This drives the
implementation of intelligent surface coatings [3] and
films which enables to improve the performance of
engineering components under contact loading, while
retaining or reducing the material and manufacturing
requirements of engineering components for the base
material. These criteria can me met by providing
surface coatings at the point of the contact of the 2
specimens. Coatings are coverings that are applied to
the surface of the object, usually referred to as
substrate. In many cases coatings can act as best
method to increase wear resistance and decrease the
temperature at the contact surface of the two metals
that are subjected to sliding action. Coatings are
expected to meet stringent requirements such as
reducing the temperature of the material at the
contact surface and providing wear resistance,
thereby increasing their performance and efficiency.
Wear may be defined as surface damage or
removal of material from one or both of two solid
surfaces in sliding, rolling or impact motion to one
another as a result of mechanical action [4]. The
working life of an engineering component comes to
an end when dimensional losses have exceeded the
tolerance limits. The failure of components in service
can often be contributed to wear, corrosion-enhanced
wear or erosion. The phenomenon contributing to
failure under all these conditions are complex and
often specific to particular application [5]. Material
properties determining resistance to wear and erosion
are complex making it difficult to predict the service
behavior of a particular material. The reduction in
wear depends on several factors such as normal load,
surface temperature, sliding velocity and surface
roughness [6].
The adhesive wear is one of the most prevailing
wears. It forms 15% of the total industrial wear [7].
According to R.L.Deuis et al [8] adhesive wear
occurs when surfaces slide against each other and
pressure between the contacting asperities is
sufficiently high enough to cause local plastic
deformation. The two modes of abrasive wear are
two bodies and three body abrasive wear. The two

highly influenced by both coating properties and
impacting particle conditions including its size. To
obtain the best functional output of coatings
exhibiting selected in- service properties the right
combinations of operating parameters are to be
known. The less erosion rate is main requirement of a
coating sprayed by the plasma spray process. In order
to get the desired result the influencing parameters of
erosive wear rate has to be controlled accordingly
since the number of parameters are too large [10]
II. II MATERIALS SECTION
Stainless steel usually contains 10.5 to 16 %
chromium content by mass. Standard mill finishes
have been applied to flat rolled stainless steel directly
by the rollers and mechanical abrasives. Steel is first
rolled to required size and thickness and then
annealed to get the part of final material. When steel
is worked below recrystallisation temperature (below
750oC) it is called cold rolled steel and when it is
worked above recrystallisation temperature (above
750o C) it becomes hot rolled steel.
In the present experiment cold rolled steel is
used for the wear testing purpose. The class of steel
used is 316-grade steel. Any oxidation layer is
removed by pickling and a passivation layer is
created on the surface. A final finish can be applied
to get the desired aesthetic appearance. Fig 4.1 shows
cold rolled uncoated specimens and specimens coated
with zirconia.
III. III COATING MATERIAL USED
Zirconia is selected as the Coating Material. It is
selected mainly because of its
High temperature applications of even up to
1900 o
Celsius.
Good chemical stability.

IV. IV PROCESS INVOLVED FOR
SPRAYING PROCESS
Zirconia coating is sprayed on to the specimen
using thermal spray process. Plasma spray is the
generally used thermal spraying process. The non-
transferred plasma arc within the torch creates a high
transferred plasma stream. Many gases can be
ionized this way.
V. V WEAR TEST
The wear test is carried out on a standard TR-20
test PIN ON DISC wear tester. It records friction and
wear when the sliding action takes place. The
parameters involved in the wear test are
Speed in RPM
Load in Newton
Coating thickness in Microns.
Frictional Force in N.
Wear, height Loss in microns

Fig-2 (a, b and c) Variation of Wear with Sliding
Distance for a Given Load
Fig. 2 shows the variations of wear with sliding
distance under the constant sliding velocity of 0.83
m/s. It is evident from all three cases 2(a), 2(b), and
2(c) that increase in the sliding distance resulted in
the increase of wear for all the specimens studied.
However at all the sliding distances studied the wear
of coated specimens are less compared to the
uncoated specimen.
From Fig 2 (a) it is clearly evident that the
uncoated specimen wears out considerably as the
sliding time increases, but the wear decreased as the
thickness of coating increased. This can be attributed
to the fact that the increased thickness of coating
results in increased resistance to wear. Also from the
graph it is evident that at a sliding distance of 1508
meters the wear is 34 microns for the uncoated
specimen. The 75 microns coated specimen showed a
drastic decrease in the wear. For the same sliding
distance of 1508 meters the wear for the 75 microns
coated specimen is 28 microns, which is nearly
17.6% decrease in wear when compared to an
uncoated specimen. Similarly when the thickness of
coating further increased the wear reduces gradually.
Minimum wear is observed when the thickness of
coating is to the maximum extent. For the same
sliding distance of 1508 meters the wear for the 450
microns coated specimens is 15 microns, which is
nearly 55.8 % decrease in wear compared to the
uncoated specimen.
Similar results are observed for 20N load (Fig
2(b)) and 30N load (Fig 2(c)) also. In the case of 30N
load there is a decrease in wear, but not to a larger
extent up to 150 microns coated thickness. Whereas
for the coating thickness of 250 microns and above
reveals considerable reduction in wear. For the
sliding distance of 1508 meters the wear for the 250
microns coated thickness is 30 microns, which is
nearly 56% decrease in wear compared to an
uncoated specimen. The 450 microns coated
specimen experienced the least wear compared to all
other coated specimens. For the same sliding distance
of 1508 meters the wear for the 450 microns coated
specimen is just 19 microns which is nearly 67%
decrease in wear compared to an uncoated specimen
as shown in Fig 2(c).
Case 2: For a Constant Sliding velocity
Fig 3 shows the variations of wear with sliding
distance under the constant load of 20N. It is evident
from all the three cases 3(a), 3(b), and 3(c) that
increase in the sliding distance resulted in the
increase of wear for all the specimens studied.
However at all the sliding distances studied the wear
of coated specimens are less compared to an
uncoated specimen.
From Fig 3 (a) it is clearly evident that the
uncoated specimen wears out considerably as sliding
distance is increased, but the wear decreases as the
thickness of coating is increased. This can be
attributed to the fact that the increased thickness of
coating results in increased resistance to wear. Also
from the graph it is clearly evident that at a sliding
distance of 2262 meters the wear is 51 microns. The
75 microns coated specimen shows gradual decrease
in the wear. For the same sliding distance of 2262
meters the wear for 75 microns coated specimens is
44 microns, which is nearly 13.7% decrease in wear
when compared to an uncoated specimen. Similarly
when the thickness of coating is further increased the
wear reduces gradually. Minimum wear is observed
when the thickness of coating is to the maximum
extent. For the same sliding distance of 2262 meters
the wear for the 450 microns coated specimens is 19
microns, which is nearly 62.7 % decrease in, wear
when compared to the uncoated specimen.
Similar results are observed for the sliding
velocities of 1.67m/sec (Fig 3 (b)) and 2.09m/sec
(Fig 3(c)).

Fig 3: (a, b and c) Variation of Wear with Sliding
Distance for a given sliding velocity
6.1.2 Effect of Load
Fig 4: Variation of Wear with Load
Fig 4 shows the variations of wear with load
under the constant sliding velocity. It is evident from
the figure that increase in the load resulted in the
increase of wear for all the specimens studied.
However at all the loads studied the wear of coated
specimens are less compared to an uncoated
specimen.
From the above graph it is clearly evident that
the uncoated specimen wears out drastically as load
is increased, but the wear decreases as the thickness
of coating is increased. This can be attributed to the
fact that the increased thickness of coating results in
increased resistance to wear. It can be cleanly
observed that at a load of 30N the wear is 59 microns
for the uncoated specimen. The 75 microns coated
specimen shows a gradual decrease in the wear. For
the same 30N load the wear for 75 microns coated
specimen is 56 microns, which is only 5.08%
decrease in wear when compared to an uncoated
specimen. This can be attributed to the fact that the
coating thickness of 75 microns is too small to handle
a load of 30N. Similarly 150 microns coated
specimen experiences only a gradual increase in wear
up to 20N load, but the wear has increased
considerably as the load is further increased from
20N to 30N. When the thickness of coating is further
increased the gradual decrease in wear is
experienced. The minimum wear is observed for the
450 microns coated specimen. Even for 30N load the
wear for the 450 microns coated specimen is just 19
microns. So the wear for the 450 microns coated
thickness has decreased nearly to 67.7% when
compared to an uncoated specimen.
6.2 Wear Rate
6.2.1 Effect of Load
Fig 5: Variation of Wear Rate with Load
Fig 5 shows the variation of wear rate with load
under the constant sliding velocity. It is evident from
the figure that increase in the load resulted in the
increase of wear rate for all the specimens studied.
However at all the loads studied the wear rate of
coated specimens are less compared to the uncoated
specimen.

From the graph it is clearly evident that the
uncoated specimen wears out considerably as load is
increased, but the wear rate decreases as the thickness
of coating is increased. This can be attributed to the
fact that the increased thickness of coating results in
increased resistance to wear rate. Also from the
graph it is observed that at a load of 30N the wear is
0.0232 * 10-4 gm/m for the uncoated specimen. The
75 microns coated specimen shows a gradual
decrease in the wear rate. For the same 30N load the
wear for 75 microns coated specimen is 0.0185 * 10-
4 gm/m, which is only 15% decrease in wear rate
when compared to an uncoated specimen. When the
thickness of coating is further increased there is
gradual decrease in wear rate. The minimum wear is
observed for the 450 microns coated specimen. For
the same 30N load the wear rate for the 450 microns
coated specimen is 0.0053 *10-4 gm/m, which is
nearly 77% decrease in wear rate when compared to
uncoated specimen.
6.3 Wear Track
Fig 6 shows the SEM photographs of wear tracks
of uncoated and coated cold rolled steel alloys for a
given load, sliding velocity and sliding distance. It is
clearly observed that extent of grooving is more in
the case of an uncoated specimen when compared to
the coated specimen. However the extent of grooving
reduces as the thickness of coating is increased. This
attributes to the fact that the coating acts as a
substrate and prevents direct contact of sliding
surfaces. This observation supports the lower wear
rate of coated specimens when compared to uncoated
specimens. So obviously the extent of grooving for
the coated specimen decreases. The 75 microns
coated specimen shows a gradual decrease in the
extent of grooving when compared to an uncoated
specimen as shown in Fig 6. The 450 microns coated
specimen shows that the extent of grooving is least
when compared to other coated specimens. So
thickness of coating plays a major role in decreasing
the wear rate

VII. CONCLUSION
• In the present study the dry sliding wear
behavior of cold rolled stainless steel with and
without zirconia coating of different thickness
was investigated. The parameters set for the
present investigation are sliding velocity, sliding
distance and the applied load.
• Wear of an uncoated specimen increased
considerably with the increase in sliding distance
and load, but decreased with increase in the
coating thickness.
• Frictional force also increased considerably with
increase in sliding distance, but decreased with
increase in coating thickness.
• Co-efficient of friction reduced for increase in
load for the uncoated specimen, but the
minimum co-efficient of friction will be
observed only when the thickness of coating is to
the maximum.
• The coatings of 450 microns thickness showed
least wear compared to all other coated
specimens studied.
• Wear rate of coated specimens was very less
than that of an uncoated specimen.
• SEM Wear tracks clearly revealed that as the
