The Journal of Minerals and Materials Characterization and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed journal for the publication of original research in the fields of characterization of the minerals, metals and materials and its applications to the processing of them. Characterization has become the foundation fo…

Most of the alloys like titanium, steel, brass, copper, etc., are used in engineering applications like automobile, aero- space, marine etc., consist of two or more phases. If a material consists of two or more phases or components it is very difficult to pre…
Santram Chauhan, Sunil Thakur
In this paper the friction and wear characteristics of vinylester and cenosphere reinforced vinylester composites have been investigated under dry sliding conditions, under different applied normal load and sliding speed. Wear tests were carried using pin on…
