Biopolymer and carbon-based materials have found widespread applications, spanning
across different industries, including the medical, energy storage, wind energy, and …

Titanium alloys are acclaimed for their remarkable biocompatibility, high specific strength,
excellent corrosion resistance, and stable performance in high and low temperatures. These …

This work aims to improve the surface properties of AISI-304 austenite stainless steel by
using duplex treatment of cathodic cage plasma nitriding (CCPN) and PVD-TiN, and the …

The influence of gas pressure on plasma nitriding of surface nanocrystalline TC4 titanium
alloy prepared by shot peening (SP) was investigated. SP treatment under 0.3 MPa-25 min …

The microstructure and formation mechanism of the nitrided layer by active screen plasma
nitriding on surface-nanocrystalline TA17 titanium alloy were studied by TEM. The nitrided …

AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel was treated by active screen plasma nitriding. The test
table was placed inside the steel screen but isolated from the cathodic potential. The …

It has generally been believed that the formation of the S phase or expanded austenite γ N
with enough thickness depends on the temperature (lower than 480° C) and duration of the …

Titanium nitride (TiN) is a good choice for the improvement in surface hardness of high-
speed steel. Unfortunately, it has low adhesion with substrate and exhibits high friction …

AISI-1045 steel is medium strength steel, and it needs surface modification to use in
machine components. The surface properties of steel can be improved by plasma nitriding …

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is capable to process complex flow field structures on 316L
stainless steel (316L SS) bipolar plates, which is promising to improve the performance of …
