Preparation of Metal Coatings on Steel Balls Using Mechanical Coating Technique and Its Process Analysis

Preparation of Metal Coatings on Steel Balls Using Mechanical Coating Technique and Its Process Analysis

We successfully applied mechanical coating technique to prepare Ti coatings on the substrates of steel balls and stainless steel balls. The prepared samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The weight increase of the ball substrates and the average thi...
