Evaluation of inulin and aloe vera as green corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 15% HCl (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Ajayi, O., Everitt, N., & Voisey, K. (2016). Evaluation of inulin and aloe vera as green corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 15% HCl.

REACH legislation and PARCOM recommendations are driving research in environmental friendly alternatives to the highly toxic compounds currently used as corrosion inhibitors. Here two candidate plant extract green corrosion inhibitors are evaluated b... Read More about Evaluation of inulin and aloe vera as green corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 15% HCl.

Nanoindentation shows uniform local mechanical properties across melt pools and layers produced by selective laser melting of AlSi10Mg alloy (2016)
Journal Article
Everitt, N. M., Aboulkhair, N. T., Maskery, I., Tuck, C., & Ashcroft, I. (2016). Nanoindentation shows uniform local mechanical properties across melt pools and layers produced by selective laser melting of AlSi10Mg alloy. https://doi.org/10.5185/amlett.2016.6171

Single track and single layer AlSi10Mg has been produced by selective laser melting (SLM) of alloy powder on a AlSi12 cast substrate. The SLM technique produced a cellular-dendritic ultra-fined grained microstructure. Chemical composition mapping an...
