An essential characteristic of the new product development process is to develop a new marketable product in the shortest possible time with the lowest reasonable costs. Therefore, the key factor of the process is efficiency. The paints and coatings...
Microstructural features have a vital effect on the comprehensive performance of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) and highly depend on the thermal spray processing parameters. Herein, a novel hybrid machine-learning method was proposed to predict the...
Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are considered a promising solution for improving the efficiency of internal combustion engines. Among the thermal spray processes, the relatively newly developed suspension plasma spray (SPS) is an attractive candidat...
The high dielectric constant ZrO2, as one of the most promising gate dielectric materials for next generation semiconductor device, is expected to be introduced as a new high k dielectric layer to replace the traditional SiO2 gate dielectric. The ele...
The corrosion-inhibiting performance of (E)-N’-(4-bromobenzylidene)-2-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl) propanehydrazide (BPH) and (E)-N’-(4-(dimethylamino) benzylidene)-2-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl) propanehydrazide (MPH) for mild steel (MS) in...
The application of high-entropy alloys (HEA) in surface technology has great potential due to the high corrosion and wear resistance. A further improvement can be achieved by applying thermochemical treatments. Powder-pack boriding enables the format...
Titanium alloy is a major structural material with excellent high specific strength in aerospace applications. Cubic boron nitride (cBN) is a synthetic wear-resistant material with high hardness, similar to that of diamond, that is used in mechanical...
Low-pressure carburizing followed by high-pressure quenching in single-piece flow technology has shown good results in avoiding distortions. For better control of specimen quality in these processes, developing numerical simulations can be beneficial...
Few-layer exfoliated black phosphorus (Ex-BP) has attracted tremendous attention owing to its promising applications, including in electrocatalysis. However, it remains a challenge to directly use few-layer Ex-BP as oxygen-involved electrocatalyst be...
Amorphous carbon films with a high hardness usually suffer from high internal stress. To deposit films with a hard top surface but reduced internal stress, a simple bilayer approach was used. Films were prepared by plasma source ion implantation, usi...
