This article investigates the performance of —a process where a laser beam melts a coating material onto a substrate to improve its surface properties. Specifically, it examines the use of WC-FeAl (tungsten carbide-iron aluminide) on 321 stainless steel to enhance resistance against wear and tear.
: A pin-on-disk device applied force to the samples. The wear rate was calculated based on weight loss, density, wear distance, and the applied load. lia 32 230 (7)
: To understand the wear mechanisms at a microscopic level, the team employed Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) . Context of "LIA" and "230" In this technical context: This article investigates the performance of —a process

Analytical Method FESEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy)
: The study utilized a specialized wear test at ambient temperatures. To ensure precise measurements, researchers used a high-accuracy balance, specifically the Sartarius LA-230S (accuracy of 0.0001 g), to weigh samples before and after testing.
