We present a new dealloying-based technique to form fully-dense and high-hardness metal
composite coatings. By depositing then heat treating a TiCr alloy coating on a Ni-base …

Sequential processing of aluminum and copper followed by reactive diffusion annealing is
used as a paradigm for the metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) of coatings …

The current work provides a detailed analysis of the microstructure, mechanical properties,
and out-of-plane compression failure modes of tungsten micro-architectured coatings. These …

Electron backscattered diffraction and nanoindentation are used to identify how the local
changes of microstructure influence the hardness distributions of cold-sprayed Ni and Cu …

Cold spray (CS) technology is a recent development for producing dense, oxide-free
metallic and cermet coatings with attributes not achievable by established atmospheric …

This chapter provides an overview of the development and application of nanostructured
coatings, with an emphasis on the latest results on metal-base materials. Thermal spray …

Hard metallic coatings can provide exceptional protection for industrial settings; however,
they usually have a uniform microstructure and suffer from poor adhesion with substrates …

The present thesis highlights selected process and materials science aspects for the
development of advanced hard coatings for cutting tools. As a proper hard coating adhesion …

Over the last 20 years, because of their superior hardness, chemical stability, and
outstanding oxidation barrier, many coating systems have now been extensively researched …

Aeronautic gas turbine blades, vanes and combustion chambers are protected against high
temperature oxidation and corrosion by single or multilayered coatings. These include …
