Hardmetals (or cemented carbides) were invented a hundred years ago and became one of
the most important materials in engineering. The unique conjunction of fracture toughness …

In this study, the tribological behaviour of different Diamond-like-Carbon (DLC) coatings
sliding against titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) was analysed in a pin-on-disc tribometer at different …

The main objective of this work was to assess and compare the structure and mechanical
properties of the TiN and TiAlN coatings deposited on a new WC-Co tool using the cathodic …

Flexural strength of concrete is an important property, especially for pavements. Concrete
with higher flexural strength has fewer cracking and durability issues. Researchers use …

In this paper, the influence of a nickel binder metal and molybdenum carbide as an
additional alloying element on the microstructure and corrosion behavior of WC-based …

The corrosion behaviour over time in 0.5 M NaCl of TiCN spark plasma sintered at low
temperature (1400° C) with 5 vol% Si aids and its reference pure TiCN spark plasma …

Water-based lubrication faces the common challenge of component lifetime extension which
is impaired by tribocorrosion due to material surface depassivation. However, such …

Joining high strength 2xxx series aluminum is known to be complex and difficult; these
alloys are traditionally considered non-weldable for fusion welding. This paper describes …

The tribological performance of the tungsten carbide substrate (WC‐Co), improved by
ceramic coatings, is still being reported in new studies that have been carried out to date. It …

Nowadays, there is a trend in the industry to reduce or even eliminate the use of cutting fluid
in machining operations. The high costs of purchasing, using, and disposing of fluids and …
