Microstructural Analysis of Ni-WC Metal Matrix Composites Deposited Using Plasma Transferred Arc Additive Manufacturing
DownloadFall 2023
The objective of this thesis is to examine how the composition and solidification rate influences the thermal degradation of WC and the resulting microstructure of WC-Ni metal matrix composites (MMCs) deposited using plasma transferred arc additive manufacturing (PTA-AM). Scanning electron...

Crude oils contain a distribution of molecules with diverse chemical structures and molecular weights. Asphaltenes are considered the most problematic of these structures. We have investigated the adsorption and aggregation of asphaltenes on surfaces using scanning probe microscopy. Modifying the...

Microstructural Characterization of Chromium Carbide Overlays and a Study of Alternative Welding Processes for Industrial Wear Applications
DownloadSpring 2014
Microstructural features of chromium carbide overlays (CCOs) were examined in this work. It was found that the microstructures can contain unmelted alloy powders. It was also shown that the structures of the primary M7C3 carbides are long hexagonal rods. Change in the microstructure from the top...
