On the chemo-mechanical polishing (CMP) of Si3N4 bearing balls with water based CeO2 slurry
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to investigate the chemo-mechanical polishing (CMP) mechanism of Si3N4 ball bearings with CeO2 abrasive. The CeO2 was found to perform two important functions in the CMP of Si3N4 that lead to an effective removal of brittle SiO2 reaction without damaging the Si3N4 substrate. Results also show that CeO2 is more effective in water and is environmentally safer than Cr2O3.

Influence of carbon content in cobalt-based superalloys on mechanical and wear properties
Article Abstract:
Analysis of phase formation and transformation in the micro-structures was conducted using metallographic, x-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry techniques. There was significant effect of the carbon content on wear resistance of the alloy.
