Nowadays, application of nanocrystalline nickel-tungsten (Ni-W) alloys is receiving a great
interest because they are an efficient replacement for hard chromium coatings owing to their …

Nanocrystalline metals have been shown to exhibit unique mechanical behavior, including
break-down in Hall-Petch behavior, suppression of dislocation-mediated plasticity, induction …

The corrosion behaviour of reverse-pulse electrodeposited nanocrystalline nickel tungsten
alloys (nc Ni–W) in pH 3 and 10 3.5 wt.% NaCl solutions is investigated and analysed as a …

The presence of hard coatings can reduce the fatigue life of metal substrates to an
unacceptable level, causing the catastrophic failure of load-bearing structures …

Various compositions and synthesis methods of biodegradable iron-based alloys have been
studied aiming for the use of temporary medical implants. However, none is focused on …

Electroplated chromium coatings have been widely used in the automotive, aerospace,
