Plasma sprayed thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are widely used in gas turbines to reduce thermal effect and increase turbine efficiency. Depending on the application of plasma spray coating, different characteristics are ...

In aluminium die casting, tools are exposed to erosion, corrosion and soldering due to the frequent contact of the tool surface to the casting alloy, to heat checking and gross cracking due to thermal fatigue and to oxidation ...

Multilayer TiAlN and AlN coatings were deposited from two targets onto high speed steel (HSS) and hard metal (HM) substrates by pulsed DC magnetron sputtering. TiAl target power was held constant while aluminum target power ...

TiO2 nanotubes on Ti metal surface were prepared by the electrochemical anodization method. Then, nanosilver was deposited onto the nanotubes by the electroless dip coating and the anodization. The obtained TiO2 nanotubes ...

This study focuses on the optimization of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and suspension parameters for producing PEEK-hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings with feasible microstructure, adhesion strength, and in-vitro bioactivity. ...

High carbon steel wires are subjected to patented heat treatment after the surface cleaning process to obtain sufficient mechanical strength and toughness properties. As a result of this process, thin lamellar pearlitic ...

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) were applied to gas turbines to function at higher gas temperatures. Extensive effort has been invested in identifying new materials with even better performance compared to yttria-stabilized ...
