Nanocomposites with a tuned distribution of nanoparticles for water treatment and electrochemical assays are prepared by the intermatrix synthesis technique.
Metal-based nanoparticles have been extensively investigated for a set of biomedical applications. According to the World Health Organization, in addition to their reduced size and selectivity for bacteria, metal-based nanoparticles have... more
Specific energy consumption is an important indicator for a better understanding of the machinability of materials. The present study aims to estimate the specific energy consumption for abrasive metal cutting with ultra-thin discs at... more
Aging heat treatments in maraging steels are fundamental to achieve the excellent mechanical properties required in several industries, i.e., nuclear, automotive, etc. In this research, samples of maraging 300 alloy were aged using a... more
In this work, the effect of corrosion-induced damage on mechanical response of hardmetals was evaluated at small-scale level by nanoindentation and nanoscratch techniques. Immersion tests in acidic solution were performed to induce... more

This contribution reports the effects of an ultrasonic-vibration assisted ball burnishing process on the topological descriptors of nickel-based alloy Udimet®720. This material is of high interest for the transportation industry, and... more
The information in the basic references about the relation between elastic constants and particularly Young’s modulus (E) behavior and plastic deformation indicates that this parameter is constant or almost constant. At the beginning of... more
Nickel-based superalloys are extensively used in the aerospace and power generation industries due to their excellent mechanical properties at elevated temperatures and good corrosion resistance. Typically, these alloys require... more
The paper focuses on the evolution of the South African iron and steel industry from the industrial engineering perspective. The earliest ironmaking in South Africa dates to the fifth century CE; but the major evolution of the industry... more
The interface between corporate governance and law is of key importance: - in driving or changing behaviour through creating obligations or sanctions - in contributing to society’s attitudes to particular issues at particular times - in... more
The topic of the paper is linked with scientific inquiries in the area of global financial markets and financial systems in the discussion how the post crisis changes influence current accounts receivable management in firms. The general... more
