Magnetron sputtering has been employed for several decades to produce protective and
multi-functional coatings, thanks to its versatility and ability to achieve homogeneous layers …

Abstract TiN and TiAlN/TiAlCrN were deposited on the alloy Ti–6Al–4V by means of plasma-
assisted PVD technique in order to improve its corrosion resistance in a 2 M HCl solution at …

The effect of Ti interlayers on the corrosion resistance of TiN PVD coatings is investigated.
The coatings were deposited using direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS) and high …

Tribocorrosion is getting more and more popular in biomaterials research. The synergism
between wear and corrosion is creating deviations from the expected real-world results from …

The surface of machine parts and moulds in plastic transformation processes may be
exposed to corrosive agents evaporated from the plastics at elevated temperatures and to …

TiAlN films were deposited on AISI O1 tool steel using a triode magnetron sputtering system.
The bias voltage effect on the composition, thickness, crystallography, microstructure …

Thick TiN coatings were successfully deposited onto A3 mild steel by the arc ion plating
process. The influence of the coating thickness on phase constitution of the coating and …

A micro-scale abrasive wear test, based on ball-cratering, has been used to evaluate the
wear resistance of duplex and non-duplex (Ti, Al) N, TiN and Cr–N coatings. The term …

Chromium and titanium–aluminium nitrides were deposited, by physical vapour deposition
techniques, on stainless steel substrates and their corrosion behaviour was studied in two …

Metallic components like moulds, dies and machinery are subjected to degradation during
plastic transformation processes, namely when working with abrasive fillers and corrosive …
