In the present study, we calculated the effects of boron content on the elastic properties,
fracture toughness, ideal tensile strength ([0001] and [11 2¯ 1] directions) and thermal …

Tungsten borides with high boron content are widely used in high temperature and high
pressure conditions. In this work, the first-principles calculations were employed to …

The structural, electronic and optical properties of six WB 2 diborides with hP3, hP6, hP12,
oP6, hR9 and hR 18 structures were systematically investigated using the first-principles …

For better synthesis and use of WB 3 triborides surface coatings, structural, electronic and
optical properties of hexagonal and trigonal hP4, hP8, hP16 and hR24-WB 3 triborides were …

In this work,(W, Ti) B 2 films with different stoichiometric ratio Ti/W deposited on silicon and
304 stainless steel by radio frequency magnetron sputtering are presented. The coatings …

A new type of WC-based coating with high oxidation-and wear-resistance at elevated
temperature was fabricated by thermal spraying the pre-treated WC-Co powder doped with …

The most promising areas of research of new super-hard materials are transition metal
borides. These materials are one of the candidates for future superhard layers that will be …

Tungsten tetraboride has been known so far as a non-stoichiometric compound with a
variable composition (eg WB4− x, WB4+ x). Its mechanical properties could exceed those of …

Laser annealing has important significance for performance improvement of transparent
conductive oxide (TCO)-based thin films. In this study, we further developed the simple …

Tungsten and boron compounds belong to the group of superhard materials since their
hardness could exceed 40 GPa. In this study, the properties of the tungsten boride WB x …
