The current state-of-the-art in the growth, structure, and physicochemical properties of iron
nitride thin films is presented. First, different iron nitride phases are introduced based on …

Functional biomedical electronic devices rely on the energy storage units such as batteries
and capacitors as their sole power sources. These power sources are constrained by issues …

High-temperature micro-/nanomechanics has attracted much interest over the last decade,
primarily because of the urgent need to understand the mechanical and tribological …

Due to their high corrosion resistance, non-transformation, and non-magnetism, austenitic
stainless steels can meet the service requirements. However, their low hardness and poor …

This study approached a low temperature hybrid gaseous nitriding and carburizing at
varying temperature and gas composition to develop S-phase layer on 316LVM steel. The …

Plasma nitriding of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy (TA) sample was carried out in a plasma reactor with
a hot wall vacuum chamber. For ease of comparison these plasma nitrided samples were …

In the present research, direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) method was chosen to fabricate
titanium nitride (TiN) reinforced Ti6Al4V alloy based metal matrix composites (MMCs) under …

Austenitic stainless steel of medical grade was subjected to low-temperature
thermochemical heat treatment process which forms a distinctive layer on the surface of the …

Low-temperature plasma nitriding of austenitic stainless steel can ensure that its corrosion
resistance does not deteriorate, improving surface hardness and wear performance …

Two surface modification techniques, the glow discharge plasma nitriding (GDPN) and the
cathodic cage plasma nitriding (CCPN), were compared regarding the mechanical and …
