It is well known that the chemical properties of the solid surfaces and their geometry affect wettability of them with liquid.
Another factor affecting the hydrophilic property is the chemical structure of the surfaces.
For many applications, the desired properties of coatings are mainly as follows: good adhesion, good hydrophilicity of the surface, and improvement in comparison with pure organic or inorganic coatings used [5-7] Polymer coatings lead to good adhesion but do not really improve the mechanical properties.
The compatibility between the organic and the inorganic phase strongly affects the thermal, mechanical, and optical properties.
The hydrophilic properties of surfaces were confirmed by contact angle measurements.

Many factors could be involved to cause the range in fatigue behavior, such as the mean stress, specimen geometry, testing environment, temperature, cyclic frequency, residual stress, quality of the glassy phase, and the surface condition.
In fact, any processing that changes the static mechanical properties or microstructure is also likely to affect the fatigue behavior of materials.
A good understanding of the most influential parameters affecting the fatigue endurance limits of BMGs is key to becoming knowledgeable about the fatigue behavior and fatigue degradation mechanics of BMGs.
However, the lifetime for a given surface finish over the fatigue-endurance limits was not affected.

Obtained properties are slightly better than presented in [8] and [9], where achieved properties were as follows: (BH)max of 46 kJ/m3 (worse), Mr 0,55 T (worse), Hci 750 kA/m (better) and (BH)max of 50 kJ/m3 (worse), Jr 0.58 T (worse) Hc 920 kA/m (better), respectively.
Magnetic properties of recycled powder (demagnetizing curve).
Final powder properties are determined by many factors, including chemical composition of magnets, size of particles, processing parameters etc.

The study of contact characteristics of ball screw will provide theoretical bases for improving transmission efficiency and working properties of ball screw.
(19) From the Eq. 19, it is deduced that the axial contact stiffness of ball screw is affected by factors such as load, design parameters and manufactured material properties, etc.
It could provide theoretical basis for optimal structure design of ball screw via analysis of these influencing factors.
In order to satisfy demand of actual utility, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the influence of material properties.

Introduction Compacted graphite iron (CGI) is considered to be one of the most promising material and have an increasing demand in both automotive and locomotive industries due to its unique physical and mechanical properties.
Coating techniques is also used to improve the hardness and were resistance of cutting tool, as well as decrease the friction coefficient of the tool-chip interface, result in a better comprehensive properties of the tool[3].
Wang Yongguo et al.[17] established a carbide gun drill force system by the integration of forces on the main cutting edge, wear pad and outer diameter (OD) relief, and the mechanical equilibrium equations, applying specific energy model, which consisted of the geometry parameters, machining parameters, and material properties.
While all above the studies greatly improved the knowledge of CGI machining performances, wear mechanisms of the tool, or the factors affecting tool life.

Introduction Wood is a natural polymer composite with superior mechanical properties.
Wood flow forming have been developed as a plastic forming technique for solid woods aiming at improving both the mechanical properties and a press-formability such as near-net shape forming.
Physical and mechanical properties of this wood-PF composite were equivalent to the PF resin namely about 100 MPa of the bending strength and less than 1 % in a size-stability against 1 hour-boiling water [5].
According to studies related to wood under non-equilibrium state, the mechanical and visco-elastic properties of wood are drastically altered during environmental changes such as temperature and humidity.
The specimens were cut by a numerically-controlled milling machine from a tangential section board with a continuity in the longitudinal direction to minimize a variety in mechanical properties.
