Carbide coatings provide high resistance to wear and corrosion for their substrates, so they
have recently received much attention from an industrial point of view. One of the successful …

Niobium carbide, chromium carbide and niobium–chromium carbide coatings were
deposited using the thermo-reactive diffusion (TRD) deposition technique on AISI D2 steel …

The present work aims to investigate the synergetic effect of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and
graphene (GnP) nanoparticle additives on the rheological and machining characteristics of …

Abstract Alloys of Al-Sn and Al-Si are widely used in tribological applications such as
cylinder liners and journal bearings. Studies of the influence of the as-cast microstructures of …

Niobium carbide coatings were deposited on AISI 1045 low alloy steel via the thermo-
reactive deposition/diffusion technique (TRD). The influence of the percentage of the …

Tool steels are applied in a variety of industrial operations providing a good balance of
properties. Surface engineering has the potential to improve productivity and further extend …

Bearing steels must have high hardness, good wear resistance and dimensional stability. In
the present work, the AISI 52100 bearing steel was selected as the substrate for a niobium …

Niobium carbide, vanadium carbide and iron boride layers were obtained on AISI D2 steel
by thermo-reactive treatments in different borax baths, containing ferroniobium …

Niobium carbide composite coatings with Nb 2 C, NbC, Nb 3 Si as the main phases were
prepared in situ on the surface of TC4 titanium alloy by plasma spraying Nb–SiC composite …

In the current study, the possibility of forming a chromium carbide layer on the surface of an
AISI W1 cold work tool steel was investigated. The coatings were fabricated through a …
