Anticorrosion coating for stainless steel (SS) and titanium bipolar plates were evaluated to
improve the corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity in PEMFC. The PEMFC offers …

Austenitic stainless steels are employed in many industrial fields, due to their excellent
corrosion resistance, easy formability and weldability. However, their low hardness, poor …

Lithium metal battery is a promising candidate for high‐energy‐density energy storage.
Unfortunately, the strongly reducing nature of lithium metal has been an outstanding …

Low-temperature treatments have become a valuable method for improving the surface
hardness of stainless steels, and thus their tribological properties, without impairing their …

The field of microrobotics has seen tremendous advances in recent years. The principles
governing the design of such submillimeter scale robots rely on an understanding of …

Low-temperature thermochemical treatments are particularly suitable for use in the surface
hardening of austenitic stainless steels without impairing their corrosion resistance. In fact …

Nitriding treatments of austenitic stainless steels can be performed only at relatively low
temperatures in order to avoid a decrease of corrosion resistance due to chromium nitride …

Martensitic grade stainless steel AISI 420 was nitrided in a low-pressure RF plasma using
pure nitrogen. With a treatment time of 4.0 h at 400° C, the nitrogen-rich layer on the sample …

In this study the effects of low temperature plasma nitriding on the characteristics of different
austenitic stainless steels, CrNi-based (AISI 304L and AISI 316L) and CrMn-based (AISI …

This paper presents the manipulation of microspheres under water by use of an untethered
electromagnetically actuated magnetic microrobot (Mag-muBot), with dimensions 250 times …
