Cemented carbide has comprehensive properties such as high hardness and good
toughness, and it is a high-quality solution for wear-resistant applications such as machining …

The conventional techniques exhibit several limitations including weak bonding strength,
shrinkage defects, micro-delamination and porosity, which duly have a synergistic effect on …

The poor antiwear properties of Ti–6Al–4V have restricted its applications as biomedical
materials. In this work, microgrooves with different groove width and graphene oxide (GO) …

The review summarizes high-energy processing techniques applied for additive
manufacturing and surface engineering of cemented carbides and cermets, including laser …

Polycrystalline diamonds, polycrystalline cubic boron nitrides and tungsten carbides are
considered difficult to process due to their superior mechanical (hardness, toughness) and …

To enhance the tribological properties of the TiAlSiN coatings, two types of micro-textures
were fabricated on the AISI 1045 steel substrates by laser texturing and ultrasonic rolling …

Carbon dots (CDs) have opened up a new field of carbon nanomaterials and successively
attracted increasing attention since their discovery in 2004. Owing to their ultrasmall size …
