The use of high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS) to deposit chromium-based thin films on brass substrates for the purpose of corrosion-protective coating was investigated. By varying the process parameters (pulse frequency, pulse width and...

High-temperature coatings play a crucial role in protecting surfaces exposed to extreme temperatures, corrosion, and other harsh environments. This paper focuses on the physical and chemical properties of solvent-borne and water-borne high-temperatur...

In this study, homogeneous (Ti, Nb)(C, B)/IN625 composite coatings with almost defect-free microstructures were successfully prepared on a 42CrMo steel substrate by coupling ultra-high-speed laser cladding (USLC) with the direct reaction synthesis (D...

Epitaxial lithium ferrite (LiFe5O8) films with different thicknesses were successfully fabricated on strontium titanate (SrTiO3) (001) substrates using the magnetron sputtering deposition technique. The microstructural and magnetic properties of the...

Laser surface texturing and micro-arc oxidation provide excellent approaches to enhance the adhesion strength and anti-corrosion performance of adhesive bonding interfaces in aluminum alloys, which can be applied in the field of automotive light weig...

In the present study, (Cr,Al)N nanolayer coatings with different Al/Cr atomic ratios were deposited by magnetron sputtering on different substrate materials (H11 and D2 tool steel, alumina). To prepare the (Cr,Al)N coatings with different Al/Cr atomi...

The special surface appearance of complex surfaces restricts the coating film quality of spraying. The study of the atomization and film formation characteristics of typical complex surfaces, as well as the spraying mechanism, is essential for planni...

Hafnium oxide (HfO2) is widely recognized as one of the most promising high-k dielectric materials due to its remarkable properties such as high permittivity, wide band gap, and excellent thermal and chemical stability. The atomic layer deposition (A...

In this study, the plastic deformation of pure copper under room-temperature compression and different annealing times was examined, and the microstructure and texture evolution were studied via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron backscatte...

This study presents the results and information revealed by in-depth physicochemical investigations carried out on an 18th-century polychrome wooden pedestal of the holy relics of Saint Demetrius Basarabov preserved at the Romanian Patriarchy of Buch...
