This paper describes the effects of combination of electromechanical and ultrasonic treatment on the wear and corrosion behavior of carbon steel AISI 1045. It is shown that the wear resistance of carbon steel AISI 1045 can be improved considerably by hardening the surface. Furthermore, the experimental work indicates that the corrosion rate of the surface decreased because of the combination of the treatments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
