In the present study, an attempt was made to develop surface cladding on AISI 304 steel by
utilizing a mixture of Ni and 15% SiC powder via microwave energy. The microwave …

The objective of this study was to explore the mechanical properties of AlCrSiN and AlTiSiN
coatings deposited on Inconel and steel substrates after thermal treatments of 500° C and …

This paper focuses on the performance of thin-film coatings onto additively manufactured Ti-
6Al-4V. Specifically, because metal parts obtained by laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF) often …

Surface engineering is one of the most extensive industries. Virtually all areas of the
economy benefit from the achievements of surface engineering. Surface quality affects the …

To gain deeper insights into the impact of very high-temperature annealing on TiN film
quality and thermal diffusion phenomena, the deposited TiN films underwent annealing in …

The impact wear property of hard coatings at elevated temperatures is of particular interest
for applications in nuclear power plants. This study evaluated the impact wear behavior of …

TiN/Si3N4 composite thin films were deposited on Inconel718 (IN718) and flexible Phynox
alloy substrates by the co-sputtering process at room temperature and 250° C. The TiN films …

In the current study, Al7075-based hybrid composites reinforced with zirconium diboride
(ZrB2) and molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) particles were synthesised through a two-step …
