Friction and wear are two critical tribological factors that instigate unavoidable failures of
moving components in the mechanical system. Additionally, these factors have a huge …

Titanium alloys possess poor resistance to friction and this adversely affects the corrosion
behavior and osseointegration of the implants made from these alloys. Nanostructured PVD …

In this study, the corrosion and surface properties of non-toxic and non-allergenic β-type Ti–
29Nb–13Ta–4.6 Zr alloys (TNTZ) coated with TiN, ZrN, and CrN layers using the PVD …

This study examined how wet microblasting affects the tribological and electrochemical
properties of CrN/CrAlN nanolayered coatings. The coatings were applied to 430 stainless …

The low hardness and limited anti-wear of aluminum alloys pose obstacles to their stability
and service life, especially in corrosive environments. Here, the amorphous CrAlN coating …

Films can enhance surface corrosion resistance and mechanical properties when applied as
a protective layer. However, these films have poor crystallinity and weak bonding and need …

Injection mold for ABS+ PVC mixture confront severe HCl severe corrosion, resulting in its
short service lifetime. To overcome this problem, a duplex coating, consisting of an inner …

Rapid advancements in industrial technology necessitate mechanical parts capable of
operating at high temperatures. High entropy alloy films have emerged as promising …

By utilizing the multi-arc ion plating (MAIP) technique, multilayer coatings with varying Cr/Cr
2 N ratios and uniform thicknesses were deposited onto a nitrided Cr–Ni–Mo–V steel …

The effect induced by irradiation is often considered as 'negative impact'. Irradiation damage
normally leads to defects in materials, including vacancies, clusters and interstitials …
