The abrasive wear characteristics of plasma-sprayed nanostructured yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coatings on Inconel 718 substrates was evaluated using AFS 50/70-grade silica sand as abrasives. This article depicts the ...

In this study, a copper hybrid metal matrix composite reinforced with graphite (5, 10, and 15 vol%) and TiC (5, 10, and 15 vol%) was processed by a powder metallurgy route. Optical micrographs confirm the uniform distribution ...

Dynamics of heavy metals in the surface sediments of Mahanadi river estuarine system were studied for three different seasons. This study demonstrates that the relative abundance of these metals follows in the order of Fe ...

A low grade iron ore containing 51.6% Fe, 17.6% SiO2, 4.3% Al2O3, and 3.8% LOI was subjected to reduction roasting followed by low intensity magnetic separation studies. The phase transformation of hematite into magnetite ...

A biosurfactant producing microbe isolated from a river bank was identified as Lysinibacillus fusiformis S9. It was identified with help of biochemical tests and 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic analysis. The biosurfactant S9BS ...
