... with different Al2O3 content and iron substrate is studied by sessile drop method. The wetting process, contact angle, element diffusion and wetting kinetic behavior at ALS/ iron interface are characterized. Findings The melting of ALS is divided into three stages: deformation, melting and spreading. ALS...

... with winter maintenance equipment. Design/methodology/approach The corrosion resistance of alloys A36, B36 and B152 treated with SNs was evaluated by accelerated corrosion testing (ASTM B117) and electrochemical polarization curves. Characterization of inhibition solutions was performed by contact angle...
