2011 JUL 13 - (VerticalNews.com) -- According to the authors of a study fromrnKharagpur, India, "Modulus of elasticity (E) and nano-hardness (H) of the composite TiB2-TiCAl2O3rncoating deposited on AISI 1020 steel by combined self-propagating high-temperaturernsynthesis (SHS) and laser cladding process have been measured from load-displacement curves,rnresulting from nano-indentation testing. Fracture toughness (K-IC) of the coatings has beenrnevaluated from the indentation method."
