- In recent years, thermal sprayed protective coatings have gained widespread acceptance for a variety of industrial applications. A vast majority of these applications involve the use of thermal sprayed coatings to combat wear. While plasma spraying is the most versatile variant of all the thermal spray processes, the detonation gun (D-gun) coatings have been a novelty until recently because of their proprietary nature. The present study is aimed at comparing the tribological behavior of coatings deposited using the two above techniques by focusing on some popular coating materials that are widely adopted for wear resistant applications, namely, WC-12%Co, Al2O3, and Cr3C2-NiCr. To enable a comprehensive comparison of the above indicated thermal spray techniques as well as coating materials, the deposited coatings were extensively characterized employing microstructural evaluation, microhardness measurements, and XRD analysis for phase constitution. The behavior of these coatings under different wear modes was also evaluated by determining their tribological performance when subjected to solid particle erosion tests, rubber wheel sand abrasion tests, and pin-on-disk sliding wear tests. The results from the above tests are discussed here. It is evident that the D-gun sprayed coatings consistently exhibit denser microstructures and higher hardness values than their plasma sprayed counterparts. The D-gun coatings are also found to unfailingly exhibit superior tribological performance superior to the corresponding plasma sprayed coatings in all wear tests. Among all the coating materials studied, D-gun sprayed WC-12%Co, in general, yields the best performance under different modes of wear, whereas plasma sprayed Al2O3 shows least wear resistance to every wear mode.

- Atomistic simulation techniques were used to investigate the interaction between the minerals calcite and fluorite with water and methanoic acid. The relative adsorption energies suggest that methanoic acid preferentially adsorbs onto fluorite surfaces, while adsorption of water is energetically preferred over methanoic acid on the calcite cleavage plane in agreement with experiment. The coverage and configuration of adsorbed methanoic acid on the surfaces depends largely on lattice spacing between the cations, and bridging between surface calcium atoms is highly favored. These findings have given an insight into interactions at the atomic level which indicate that modeling techniques should be capable of predicting adsorption behavior and designing collector molecules, which is of central importance to the mineral processing technique of flotation

- High-precision ac susceptibility measurements have been made on high-quality Hg-1212 thin films. A method to analyze chi(1)'(T,H-0,f) and chi(1)" (T,H-0,f) and extract the temperature dependence of the critical current density J(c)(T), as well as the temperature and field-dependent flux-creep exponent n(T,H-0), is presented. With specific measurements at external ac fields Ho in the range 7-100 Oe(rms) we determine the temperature dependence of the critical current density from a single temperature scan. The obtained temperature dependence, J(c)(T), is found to be in good agreement with data obtained from measurements using the traditional "loss-maximum" approach. In addition we present a method to extract the temperature and ac field-dependent flux-creep exponent n(T,H-0) from a set of temperature scans taken at different cc fields and driving frequencies. The observed power law describing the frequency dependence of chi' is consistent with a current-dependent effective activation energy of the form U(J)= U(0)ln(J(c)/J). Furthermore, the flux creep is found to increase with ac field and with temperature except at about 20-30 K below T-c, where our data suggest a slowing down of the flux creep.
