This study presents a dual-biomimetic polymer coating with improved wear and corrosion
resistance, inspired by natural biological structures of shells and superhydrophobic …

Diamond like carbon (DLC) coatings are extensively employed for their outstanding
mechanical and tribological properties. To overcome the inherent high residual stress …

Automotive components involving glass are coated with hard materials for protection
against, UV glaze, EM interference, abrasion, and thermal shock. Thermally resistant …

Working conditions exert an important influence on the tribological properties of protective
coatings, thus affecting the wear resistance of workpieces. In this work, a TiAlSiN hardness …

In recent years, geopolymers have shown potential to replace ordinary cement materials
due to their simple preparation, low cost, and excellent performance. Adding organics to …

Scratch tests were performed on thermal resistant hard Si-CN coatings deposited on steel
(SS) 304, by RF (Radio frequency) magnetron sputtering. The abrasion and wear properties …

To address the issue of single-layer coatings with uniform hardness being prone to damage
and cracking under complex working conditions, and their inadequate protective …

The wear and corrosion of cemented carbides pose substantial challenges to maintaining
the reliability and extending the service life of marine engineering equipment under severe …

The article has provided a novel way of finding the probability of fracture (P f) based on
modifications of some established concepts. It has also discussed ductile to brittle as well as …
