    • Development of vVC-NI eutectic alloys for wear resistance 

      Apata, OA; Muobeleni, TN; Fabuyide, AA; Ogunmuyiwa, EN; Rading, GO; Jain, PK; Witcomb, MJ; Cornish, LA (University of Nairobi, 2014)
      Vanadium carbide is less dense, harder and tougher than tungsten carbide, and nickel is more corrosion resistant that cobalt. Replacing the binder with Ni should improve the corrosion resistance. Since there are eutectics ...

    • The dislocation core misfit potential 

      Njoroge, KD; Rading, GO; Kihiu, JM; Witcom, MJ; Cornish, LA (University of Nairobi, 2015)
      The development of a model to extend the range of the embedded atom method (EAM) is presented. The model is founded on the premise that the dislocation core generates a distortion field within the lattice that extends well ...
