AlCr-based hard nitride coatings with different chemical compositions and architectures
have been successfully developed and applied over the last few decades. Coating …

An interesting hydrogen sensor prepared by an Al (3 at%)-doped SnO 2 (ATO) thin layer
decorated with palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) is demonstrated herein. The related …

Bioresorbable metals constitutes a new class of biomaterials, and raised increasing interest
over the last decade to fabricate tiny endovascular metallic implants. However, the lack of …

The homogeneous and gradient CrAlSiN coatings were prepared at constant and graded
sputtering power respectively, and their structural, mechanical and corrosion behaviors were …

The trackability of tiny endovascular medical implants (TEMIs) during and after surgery is a
crucial parameter for their accurate implantation and after surgery follow-ups. In this work …

This paper presents the results of the investigation of a multilayer TiAlSiN/AlSiN coating. A
novel coating architecture with a period consisting of nanocomposite sublayers of TiAlSiN …

In this study, the tribological characteristics of TiN, AlTiN, and AlTiCrN coatings sliding
against a SUS420J1 stainless steel pin were investigated in atmospheric and vacuum …

Nanocomposite multilayer coatings are of large interest to the engineering industry because
of their functional properties. Titanium nitride-based multilayer structures are very effective …

The synthesis of nanocomposites is limited to thermodynamically immiscible phases or to
phase separation by exceeding the limits of solution. Hence, the formation of …

The punching of holes or recesses on computer numerical control coordinate presses
occurs in sheets at high speeds (up to 1200 strokes/min) with an accuracy of~ 0.05 mm. One …
