Development of a corrosion protection system for aluminum alloys and evaluation of system's effectiveness
Jurak, Sarah F.; Jurak, Emil (Wichita State University, 2018-04-27)Even with advances in the prevention of corrosion the cost of corrosion to the US economy is over a $1 trillion in today's dollars. Research into new more effective corrosion control methods is imperative. Of the different ... -
Functional superhydrophobic coating systems for possible corrosion mitigation
Jurak, Sarah F.; Jurak, Emil F.; Uddin, M. Nizam; Asmatulu, Ramazan (Fuji Technology Press, 2020-03-05)Because of their repellent, corrosion-mitigating, anti-icing, and self-cleaning properties, superhydrophobic coatings have numerous applications from windshields to textiles. A superhydrophobic coating is defined as one ... -
Statistical analysis of the mechanical properties of Friction Stir Welded AA2024 and AA2198 aluminum alloys
Jurak, Sarah F. (Wichita State University, 2011-12)This thesis presents an analysis of data based on the results of a previous study into the path independence of friction stir welding (FSW). The original study was conducted in two phases using AA2024 and AA2198 aluminum ... -
Synthesis and analysis of Superhydrophobic-based corrosion protection systems for aluminum alloys and their evaluations on friction stir spot-welded metals
Jurak, Sarah F. (Wichita State University, 2018-05)The friction stir spot weld (FSSW) could potentially replace rivets as in situ fasteners, but the welding process results in a loss of corrosion resistance in the weld. The cost of corrosion to the U.S. economy in 2013 ...
