A Joint research paper for the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and a graduate student has published in one of the international publishing houses

The Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Assistant Professor Dr. Ali Sadek Al-Atahari, Assistant Professor Dr. Moghad Hadi, Dr. Abbas Ali Diwan, and Postgraduate student Uday Kazem published a scientific research paper entitled:
IMPROVEMENT THE HARDNESS OF HIGH CHROMIUM WHITE CAST IRON BY COATING WITH NANO MATERIALS
In the Global Journal:
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY (IJMET)
Which is part of the Scopas. The magazine also categories as Q3 of the classification of international journals.
Al-Athari explained the College of Engineering’s endeavor to serve the society and find suitable solutions to the state institutions and the private sector. One of these problems was in the cement factory of the Iraqi General Cement Company. In this study, the main problem in the cement industry was the continuous erosion of cement steel balls as a result of the effects of abrasion and erosion through the grinded inside the cement mill. In this case, the hardness of the HCWCI coating was investigated and improved using nanomaterial coatings such as carbid tungestin particles. The results show that the fine hardness is increased by increasing the thickness of the coating.
“One of the main problems in the cement industry is the continued corrosion and damage of the metal lining of the concrete cement mill from clinker due to the impact, abrasion and corrosion by the solvents and ball bearings,” Hadi and Kazim said. The standard surfaces and mechanical tests were carried out for this lining made of high-chromium white cast iron (HCWCI) to reduce the maintenance period and cost of replacing. The nanotube materials used carbide tungsten WC, the coating used high-oxy fuel technology. The micro hardness (743.7 HV) was improved with a hardness ratio of up to 34% compared to samples without coating of the same structure.
