This numerical modelling has enabled the prediction of wear rates in different materials and
for different sliding conditions. It has also enabled the development of more efficient and …

The paper summarizes the current development of high-velocity oxygen–fuel coupled
physical vapor deposition (HVOF-PVD) duplex coatings as protective candidates. Following …

Abstract Herein, CrN/WC–12Co duplex coatings were fabricated using physical vapor
deposition (PVD) and high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) technologies. The microstructure …

Ti 3 AlC 2 is a layered-structure material with both ceramic and metallic properties and is
often used as a solid lubricant. To improve the lubrication and wear resistance of engine …

A duplex coating consisting of a Cr 3 C 2-NiCr or WC-Co thick interlayer and a top Si/DLC
film was deposited on the surface of titanium alloy by combining high-velocity oxygen fuel …

Hard films play essential roles in the wear protection of metal moving components. In this
study, the TiCN/Cr 3 C 2-NiCr and TiCN/WC-CoCr duplex coatings were designed and …

CrN film deposited on the stainless steel substrate is easy to crack and peel off due to the
intrinsic brittleness and the low load carrying capability, which severely constricts its …

CrN film shows obvious differences in hardness, elastic modulus, and thermal expansion
coefficient between film and substrate, suffering from poor adhesion and wear resistance …

WC-Co coatings produced by high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) show the high porosity which
limits their application in seawater. Herein, we prepared CrN/WC-12Co and CrN/WC-10Co …

HVOF/PVD duplex design provides a new strategy to enhance impact damage resistance of
thin DLC films. A comparative study was conducted on the impact damage behaviors of …
