Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Wear and corrosion resistance technology is crucial for industrial applications including scientific issues for surface protection, improvement of lubricity even chemical resistance. Among them, wear and corrosion resistance technology dealing with thin film materials allows significant and effective way for their main purpose showing strengthening effect of wear and corrosion by using coating or deposition with various materials (composite films, physical vapor deposition, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition coating, plasma-assisted chemical vapour deposition coating, etc).

The aim of this Special Issue “Wear and Corrosion Resistance Technology of Thin Film Materials” is to bring together and specifies the various wear and corrosion resistance technologies (development and applications) as a viewpoint of lubricant or friction with following themes.

  • Wear and corrosion resistance technologies of thin film;
  • Various materials for film coating technologies;
  • Metal alloy or carbon-based investigation of film;
  • Macroscopic or microscopic (micro/nano) composite films for wear and corrosion;
  • Development and applications of resistance technologies of thin film materials in various environments, such as semiconductor applications (LED/OLED), aerospace/automobile engineering, energy and environmental technology, medical/pharmaceutical industry, paper/cellulose industry.

In recent years, aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) have attracted attention due to their promising properties. However, the presence of ceramic particles in the aluminum matrix renders AMCs a high corrosion rate and makes it challenging to use traditional corrosion protection methods. In this study, atomic layer deposition (ALD) techniques were used to deposit HfO2, ZrO2, TiO2, and Al2O3 thin films on AMC reinforced with 20 vol.% SiC particles. Our results indicate that the presence of micro-cracks between the Al matrix and SiC particles leads to severe micro-crack-induced corrosion in Al-SiC composites. The ALD-deposited films effectively enhance the corrosion resistance of these composites by mitigating this micro-crack-induced corrosion. Among these four atomic-layer deposited films, the HfO2 film exhibits the most effective reduction in the corrosion current density of Al-SiC composites in a 1.5 wt% NaCl solution from 1.27 × 10−6 A/cm2 to 5.89 × 10−11 A/cm2. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) investigation shows that HfO2 deposited on Al-SiC composites has the largest Rp value of 2.0 × 1016. The HfO2 film on Al-SiC composites also exhibits effective inhibition of pitting corrosion, remaining at grade 10 even after 96 h of a salt spray test. Full article

In this study, a method of preparing a Ni-P-nanoPTFE composite coating on the surface of GCr15 steel for spinning rings is proposed. The method incorporates a defoamer into the plating solution to inhibit the agglomeration of nano-PTFE particles and pre-deposits a Ni-P transition layer to reduce the possibility of leakage coating. Meanwhile, the effect of varying the PTFE emulsion content in the bath on the micromorphology, hardness, deposition rate, crystal structure, and PTFE content of the composite coatings was investigated. The wear and corrosion resistances of the GCr15 substrate, Ni-P coating, and Ni-P-nanoPTFE composite coating are compared. The results show that the composite coating prepared at a PTFE emulsion concentration of 8 mL/L has the highest concentration of PTFE particles (up to 2.16 wt%). Additionally, its wear resistance and corrosion resistance are improved compared with Ni-P coating. The friction and wear study shows that the nano-PTFE particles with low dynamic friction coefficient are mixed in the grinding chip, which gives the composite coating self-lubricating characteristics, and the friction coefficient decreases to 0.3 compared with 0.4 of Ni-P coating. The corrosion study shows that the corrosion potential of the composite coating has increased by 7.6% compared with that of the Ni-P coating, which shifts from −456 mV to a more positive value of −421 mV. The corrosion current reduces from 6.71 μA to 1.54 μA, which is a 77% reduction. Meanwhile, the impedance increased from 5504 Ω·cm2 to 36,440 Ω·cm2, which is an increase of 562%. Full article

Microarc oxidation (MAO) layers were prepared using 8g/L Na2SiO3 + 6g/L (NaPO3)6 + 4g/L Na2WO4 electrolyte with the addition of 2g/L Ti3SiC2/Ti3AlC2 particles under constant-current mode. The roughness, porosity, composition, surface/cross-sectional morphology, and frictional behavior of the prepared MAO layers were characterized by 3D real-color electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray energy spectrometry, X-ray diffractometry, and with a tribo-tester. The results showed that the addition of Ti3SiC2 and Ti3AlC2 to the electrolyte reduced the porosity of the prepared layers by 9% compared with that of the MAO layer without added particles. The addition of Ti3SiC2/Ti3AlC2 also reduced the friction coefficient and wear rate of the prepared layers by 35% compared with that of the MAO layer without added particles. It was found that the addition of Ti3AlC2 particles to the electrolyte resulted in the lowest porosity and the lowest wear volume. Full article

Poly-dichloro-para-xylylene (parylene-C) film is formed through a chemical vapor deposition process, where monomeric gases are polymerized on the target surface at room temperature and are used as transparent insulating coating films. The thin parylene-C films exhibit uniform conformal layers even when deposited on substrates or surfaces with fine cracks, structures, and bumps. However, the film is highly transparent in the visible range (transmittance > 90%); thus, it is difficult to visually identify, inspect the coating process and check for any defects when used as an insulation film. Some reports have demonstrated the deposition of visible (hazy) parylene films through the control of the vaporization or pyrolysis of the parylene-C powder and sublimed dimers, respectively. Even though these films have been applied as device substrates and light extraction layers in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), their optical and electrical characteristics have not been extensively explored, especially for their applications as insulation coatings. In this study, the characteristics of visible parylene films produced by tuning the ratio of dimer to monomer gases via the adjustments of the pyrolysis temperature are analyzed with electrical and optical methods. Parylene-C films deposited within the pyrolysis temperature of 400–700 °C exhibited a haze range of 10–90%. A relative reflectance of 18.8% at 550 nm of the visible light region was achieved in the visible parylene film deposited with a pyrolysis temperature of 400 °C. Resistivity in the order of 1010 Ω cm was achieved for the visible parylene films measured with the transmission line measurement (TLM) method. The films can be applied in advanced insulation coatings for various optical systems and electronic devices. Full article
