Duplex stainless steel (DSS) material with grade of AISI Duplex-2205 show a decrease performance under aggressive environment which may lead to unanticipated failure due to poor surface properties. Therefore, the surface modification of this material is important to increase the hardness and wear behavior for various applications in the automotive,

An increasing number of azole-resistant Candida albicans strains have arisen due to the evolution of acquired resistance and an epidemiological shift toward less vulnerable species. Here we highlight a case of acute pyelonephritis with candidemia caused by fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans in a patient with no previous exposure to antifungals.

The objective of the present study is to deposit highly wear resistant silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic particles on Duplex-2205 using tungsten inert gas (TIG) torch arc cladding at a heat input of 480 J/mm. The influence of various SiC ceramic particles size ranging from 20 µm to 100 µm on microstructure, hardness and linear motion reciprocating we
