Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

Due to various difficult-to-machine materials and increasingly severe machining conditions,
more and more attention has been paid to the physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology …

Friction and wear phenomena encountered in mechanical systems with moving components
are directly related to efficiency, reliability and life of the system. Hence, minimizing and …

Hard coatings are extensively required in industry for protecting mechanical/structural parts
that withstand extremely high temperature, stress, chemical corrosion, and other hostile …

Pb-Co 3 O 4 composite coating was electrodeposited using direct and pulsed current on Pb-
Ca-Sn substrate. Corrosion evaluation using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) …

This paper reviews the most recent available literature relating to the electrochemical
techniques and test procedures employed to assess tribocorrosion behaviour of passive …

Friction and wear in different engine components have crucial effects on the engine
performance, combustion efficiency, oil consumption and lifetime of the internal combustion …

We have employed plasma-enhanced and thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD) within the
temperature range of 50–150 C for the deposition of ultra-thin (10–50 nm) Al 2 O 3 films on …

The main aim of this study is to develop ZrN/CrN nanolayered coatings with bilayers periods
10 bilayers (10 L), 20 bilayers (20 L) and 30 bilayers (30 L) over AISI 304 stainless steel and …

This study examined how wet microblasting affects the tribological and electrochemical
properties of CrN/CrAlN nanolayered coatings. The coatings were applied to 430 stainless …
