Ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) are materials defined as having melting points
over 3000° C and withstand temperatures beyond 2000° C without losing functionality. As …

First principles calculations were conducted on (HfTiWZr) B 2 high entropy diboride (HEB)
composition, which indicated a low formation energy and promising mechanical properties …

The challenge of concurrently resisting corrosion, wear, and microbial adhesion in marine
equipment necessitates the development of advanced protective coatings for moving parts …

In this work, the tribological performance of borided and untreated AISI H13 steels under dry
and lubricated conditions was studied. The formation of the boride layer on the AISI H13 …

The tribological behavior of ultra-high temperature ceramic matrix composites (UHTCMCs)
was investigated to understand these materials in friction applications. Samples consisting …

Ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) are generally referred to the carbides, nitrides and
borides of the transition metals, with the Group IVB compounds (Zr & Hf) and TaC as the …

The present study aims to evaluate and compare the effect of 5 vol.% TiC or WC addition on
densification, phase stability, microstructure, mechanical properties, thermal residual stress …

The rise in carbon dioxide pollution and energy consumption has increased the demand for
