Abstract
This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief due to extended similarites with a previously published article.
The previously published article is:
M. A. Gebril, M. Zaidi Omar, Nk. Othman, I. F. Mohamed, "Effect of Equal Channel Angular Pressing Processing Routes on Corrosion Resistance and Hardness of Heat Treated A356 Alloy", Sains Malaysiana, Vol. 48, No. 3, pp. 661–668, 2019, http://dx.doi.org/10.17576/jsm-2019-4803-20)
The authors of this article accept the journal’s decision and would like to state the following:
"We accept the journal’s decision to retract our article and would like to clarify that the similarity was the result of an unintentional error. Due to unforeseen health issues, a key author was unable to complete the manuscript and shared a reference file—including a converted version of the cited article—for citation purposes. Unfortunately, another team member mistakenly used that file as the draft base, leading to unintended overlap. We sincerely apologize to the journal, its readers, and the authors of the original article. We take full responsibility and are committed to preventing such errors in the future."
Keywords:
ECAP, hardness, heat-treated Al-alloyDownloads
