Ligas de Cobalto CoCrMoSi so largamente usadas para a proteço de componentes que operam em condiçes agressivas de desgaste, corroso em diversos meios e elevadas temperaturas. Desempenho promissor tem sido relatado para o processamento de revestimentos pela tecnica de plasma com arco transferido (PTA). A liga CoCrMoSi Tribaloy T400 apresenta desafios durante o processamento devido a presença de fases frageis que se formam durante seu processamento. A interaço com o substrato a ser revestido (diluiço) altera a composiço dos revestimentos, demandando investigaço. Desta forma, o objetivo desta obra foi avaliar revestimentos da liga Tribaloy T400 processados por PTA sobre um substrato de aço inoxidavel AISI 316L utilizando tres diferentes niveis de corrente de deposiço: 120, 150 e 180 A. A avaliaço inicial envolveu a geometria dos cordes e a diluiço e, posteriormente, os revestimentos foram caracterizados por microscopia otica e eletronica de varredura, difraço de raios X e dureza Vickers. O efeito das condiçes de processamento sobre o desempenho foi avaliado a partir de ensaios de desgaste. A dureza foi fortemente influenciada pela microestrutura desenvolvida e o desempenho em desgaste apresentou dependencia direta com a microestrutura formada.

He Ruled the Streets.Victor Marlow did not inherit power.He carved it out of concrete and blood.From Brooklyns waterfront docks to its neon-lit nightclubs, his name meant something. It meant control. It meant fear. It meant consequences. Victor built his empire with precision, rewarding loyalty and crushing betrayal without hesitation. In his world, weakness was fatal and power was everything.For years, he survived turf wars, federal pressure, and ambitious men who thought they could take his throne.He knew the rules of the underworld.What he didnt know was how far his enemies were willing to go.Because betrayal doesnt always come with a warning shot.Sometimes it comes with a scalpel.They Didnt Kill Him.Victor expected torture. He expected interrogation. He expected a bullet and a shallow grave.Instead, he wakes up strapped to a surgical table.The room is cold. Clinical. Bright.His arms are restrained. His legs are immobilized. A mask covers his face as shadowed figures move above him with chilling calm. Through the haze of anesthesia, he hears them speaking in detached tones about "procedure,""reconstruction," and "no loose ends."He tries to fight.He tries to threaten.He tries to remind them who he is.It doesnt matter.When he wakes again, the world feels wrong.His body feels wrong.And when he finally forces himself to look into a mirror, the horror is complete.They Rebuilt Him.The mob didnt just eliminate Victor Marlow.They surgically turned him into a woman.Not by choice.Not by identity.Not by rebirth.By force.Bone reshaped. Muscle altered. Face reconstructed. Voice changed. Every trace of the man he once was erased with meticulous precision. His body redesigned as the ultimate humiliation a living warning to anyone who dares challenge the wrong family.To the world, Victor Marlow is dead.His businesses have been divided. His territory reassigned. His name spoken in the past tense.To his enemies, the message is simple: this is what happens to men who refuse to kneel.They didnt just take his empire.They took his flesh.But They Made One Fatal Mistake.They left his mind intact.Beneath unfamiliar skin, the strategist still calculates. The predator still watches. The memory of every betrayal, every weakness in the organization, every secret buried inside the city remains sharp and burning.And the rage?The rage is untouched.Now trapped inside a body that feels alien and humiliating, Victor must survive in the very city he once ruled. The streets no longer recognize him. Former allies would kill him without hesitation. Enemies believe they have already won.Every mirror is a reminder of what was stolen.Every movement feels like a violation.Every breath is a promise.Because humiliation can become fuel.And rage can become strategy.This Is Not Redemption.This is not a story of acceptance.This is not a journey of self-discovery.This is not about becoming someone new.When your body is taken from you, what remains?When your name is buried, what survives?For Victor Marlow, the answer is simple.Wrath....

Este livro nasce da contemplação sensível sobre a forma como os povos do mundo se despedem de seus mortos — alguns cantam, outros silenciam, todos buscam preservar a memória. Mais do que a perda, o q
