Grade 37 titanium is widely used in racing applications thanks to its oxidation resistance up to 650 °C, but it suffers from poor wear and fretting resistance, especially at high temperature. In this paper, different surface modification techniques, namely, carburizing,
Procedure to generate a selection chart for microwave sol-gel synthesis of nanoparticles
Numerical simulation is used to compare the temperature distribution existing during microwave or conventional heating by hot oil bath of a reaction volume. The simulation is applied to the sol-gel synthesis of TiO2 nanopowders, considering temperature dependent materials parameters. A
A Multi-Physic Modelling Insight into the Differences between Microwave and Conventional Heating for the Synthesis of TiO2 Nanoparticles
Microwave-assisted synthesis of nanoparticles usually leads to a smaller and more uniformly distributed particle size compared to conventional heating (e.g., oil bath). Numerical simulation can help to obtain a better insight into the process in terms of temperature distribution or
