The influence of surface treatments on the microstructure, in vitro bioactivity and corrosion protection performance of newly fabricated Ti-20Nb-13Zr (TNZ) alloys was evaluated in simulated body fluid (SBF). The TNZ alloy specimens were treated with...
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films were deposited using two different types of high current arc evaporation. The first process used a magnetic particle filter to remove droplets from the plasma. For the second process, the samples were put into a metall...
Here, we report an explorative study of an attempt to fabricate ultrathin aluminum oxide films on n-InP substrates by radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering as a candidate for insulating layers in semiconductor lasers for optical communication. Fi...
This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of phosphorene in enhancing the friction behaviors of polyethylene using molecular dynamics. A sliding model was constructed to investigate the coefficient of friction and abrasion rate of composites by a...
Increasing environmental awareness is pushing towards sustainable approaches to the design and management of transport infrastructures. A life cycle assessment of low noise pavements is carried out here, with the aim to evaluate and compare the use o...
In this study, Cr–Mo duplex-alloyed coating was prepared on carbon steel by double glow plasma surface alloying (DGPSA). The effect of annealing and quenching and tempering (Q&T) treatments on the microstructure and performance of the coati...
Magnetron sputtered nanocomposite thin films composed of monometallic Au and Ag, and bimetallic Au-Ag nanoparticles, dispersed in a CuO matrix, were prepared, characterized, and tested, which aimed to find suitable nano-plasmonic platforms capable of...
Tantalum silicon nitride (Ta–Si–N) films were synthesized on Si substrate via magnetron sputtering. The structure and properties of the Ta–Si–N films were investigated as a function of the N2 content in the N2/Ar gas mixture....
According to research, we have learned that zinc has excellent cathodic protection performance, that the corrosion products of aluminum and magnesium can form dense and stable passivation films to protect internal materials of coatings, and that TiO2...
The resistance to cavitation erosion and sliding wear of stainless steel grade AISI 304 can be improved by using physical vapor deposited (PVD) coatings. The aim of this study was to investigate the cavitation erosion and sliding wear mechanisms of m...
