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 kind of WC-based coating with superhard WCoB compound as the binder was
fabricated by the high velocity oxy-fuel spraying of WC-WB-Co powder. The microstructure …

Ternary WBC coatings were non-reactively deposited in order to enhance the envelope of
the mechanical properties of the binary transition metal borides and carbides with a focus on …

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 …

In this work, tantalum-doped tungsten boride ceramic coatings were deposited from a single
