Asian Review of Mechanical Engineering (ARME) is a half-yearly international peer-reviewed journal of Mechancial Engineering. One of the objectives of this journal is to disseminate knowledge on various research issues connected with the topics include, but are not limited to:

Statics and dynamics
Strength of materials and solid mechanics
Instrumentation and measurement
Thermodynamics, heat transfer, energy conversion, and HVAC
Combustion, automotive engines, fuels
Fluid mechanics and fluid dynamics
Mechanism design (including kinematics and dynamics)
Manufacturing engineering, technology, or processes
Hydraulics and pneumatics
Engineering design
Product design
Mechatronics and control theory
Material Engineering
Design engineering, Drafting, Computer-Aided Design (CAD) (including solid modeling), and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM)

In the present study commercial available chromium based hardfacing alloy (CPET 071) was deposited on SS304 steel by manual metal arc welding process to investigate the erosion behaviour. Solid particle erosion study was carried out using air jet erosion tester rig. Erosion testing was done at room and 400°C temperature at different impingement angles i.e. 30° and 90°. Optical microscopy technique is used to analyse the microstructure. Microstructure of the deposited hardfacing alloy has been formed to be free from defect such as crakes and porosity, with typical dendritic structure. Erosion rate of the base and hardfaced steel has been found to be higher at 400 °C temperatures with 30° impingement angle.
