The maritime industry is one of the most prominent players in globalisation. Corrosion, wear,
and biofouling are common problems in sea-chest gratings, constantly exposed to seawater …

Following the rising interested on 3D-printing technologies, this research explores the
possibility to apply nitride-polymethylmethacrylate composite coatings on 3D printed parts in …

Corrosion and antibiofouling protection of maritime transport are important to improve
lifetime usage and reduce maintenance costs. Tributyltin (TBT) paint was the most widely …

In this report Zrsingle bondCsingle bondNsingle bondAg coatings produced by dual
magnetron sputtering are characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and …

Zr–N thin films were deposited on Si (100) substrate by reactive sputtering using a pulsed
DC magnetron sputtering technique. It was found that films deposited at 773K and 1sccm of …

The world needs more environmentally friendly materials every time, especially when the
application demands constant interaction with fragile habitats. The naval industry is a crucial …

ZrCN coatings were deposited by dc reactive magnetron sputtering with N2 flows ranging
from 2 to 10sccm in order to investigate the influence of the nitrogen incorporation on …

This work is devoted to the investigation of decorative zirconium oxynitride, Zr O x N y⁠, films
prepared by dc reactive magnetron sputtering, using a 17: 3 nitrogen-to-oxygen-ratio gas …

For nuclear facility safety analysis purposes, the Zircaloy-4 and M5® air oxidation scales
produced in the 800–1000° C temperature range have been investigated with micro-Raman …

In this research paper, mechanical and tribological characterization of novel high wear-
resistant ZrN-ZrAlN coatings are presented. The varying concentrations of AlN is chosen to …
