Purpose Electron beam melting (EBM) is one of the potential additive manufacturing
technologies to fabricate aero-engine components from gamma titanium aluminide (γ-TiAl) …

The gas cluster ion beam (GCIB) is a valuable tool for surface analysis, providing new 3D
mass analysis equipment possibilities. The main feature of the GCIB is that many particles …

The grinding wheel active surface (GWAS) condition assessment after the grinding
processes is one of the crucial elements of diagnostics of abrasive tools used in modern …

Thin functional barrier layers of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) that are used particularly in
photovoltaic (PV) modules to prevent the possibility of water vapor ingress should be …

A concept of plasma treatment for enhancing pre-textured surfaces of components made in
pearlitic gray cast iron is proposed. It consists of a plasma nitriding at low temperatures and …

Understanding the stress-displacement response of granular materials and their interfaces
with geosynthetics through surface topographical analysis is evolving as a new area of …

Surface roughness parameters of mechanical components are sensitive to systematic errors,
which can cause significant deviations in their values. These parameters are commonly …

Simple Summary Currently, only a few label-free methods for cell viability assessment are
described in the literature. This paper covers a new label-free method based on the laser …

Nanoscale surface characterization is one of the most significant parts of modern materials
development and application. The modern microscopes are expensive and complicated …
