Depleted uranium (DU) is oxidized readily due to its chemical activities, which limits its applications in nuclear industry. TiN film has been applied widely due to its good mechanical properties and its excellent corrosion resistance. In this work,...
Titanium thin films are particularly important as electrode layers, barrier layers, or intermediate buffer layers in the semiconductor industry. In order to improve the quality of Ti thin films and the adhesion and diffraction abilities of irregular...
Modulated pulsed power magnetron sputtering (MPPMS) of titanium was investigated as a function of argon gas pressure using optical emission spectroscopy (OES). Delays in discharge and the formation of comb-like discharge current waveforms due to spli...
Delayed discharges due to electrical breakdown are observed in modulated pulsed pow er magnetron sputtering (MPPMS) plasma of titanium. The delayed discharge, which is remarkable with decreasing argon gas pressure, transforms the discharge current wa...
The (TiNbZrCr)Nx high-entropy nitride films (HENFs) were prepared by high-power pulsed magnetron sputtering (HPPMS). The effect of the N2 flow rate (FN) on the HPPMS plasma discharge, film composition, microstructure, residual stress, tribological pr...
Titanium nitride (Ti-N) thin films are electrically and thermally conductive and have high hardness and corrosion resistance. Dense and defect-free Ti-N thin films have been widely used in the surface modification of cutting tools, wear resistance co...
Titanium nitride (TiN) thin films deposited by high-power pulsed magnetron sputtering usually have a high compressive residual stress, which is not conducive for the adherence of TiN thin films. This study investigated the potential of Ti2AlN for rel...
In recent times, autonomous robots have become more relevant, aiming not only to be an extension of mobility and human performance but also allowing them to independently solve specific problems such as finding free-collision paths within some define...
Erosion seriously threatens the safety of high-speed rotating mechanical components in very harsh service environments, particularly for lightweight titanium alloy matrix material. In order to improve the erosion resistance of titanium alloy, TiAlSiN...
In recent years, hierarchically porous polymer membranes (HPPMs) have emerged as promising materials for a wide range of applications, including filtration, separation, and energy storage. These membranes are distinguished by their multiscale porous...
Titanium-copper (Ti–Cu) coatings have attracted extensive attention in the surface modification of industrial and biomedical materials due to their excellent physical and chemical properties and biocompatibility. Here, Ti–Cu coatings are...
The ability to plan a multiple-target path that goes through places considered important is desirable for autonomous mobile robots that perform tasks in industrial environments. This characteristic is necessary for inspection robots that monitor the...
