Interface engineering is essential to enhance and to maintain the performance of protective
coatings on metallic substrates. Plasma pre-treatments and coating deposition processes …

X-ray penetration in magnesium alloys is significant due to the low X-ray mass attenuation
coefficient. To measure the surface residual stresses in magnesium alloys, a correction …

In this paper we present the results of experimental measurements and numerical modeling
of the effect of particle size on the residual thermal stresses arising in sintered metal–matrix …

Compressive stresses are commonly desired in thin films and the stress state in layers and
coatings is in general evaluated assuming a biaxial nature of stress. But how thin is thick …

The presented study introduces the development of the multi-reflection grazing-incidence X-
ray diffraction method (MGIXD) for residual stress determination. The proposed new …

The performance and integrity of coated engineering components rely on the time required
for the appearance of defects and cracks and their propagation, leading to delamination of …

In this work, the residual stress distribution of c. 3.8 μm arc-evaporated AlCrN coatings was
investigated by the synchrotron radiation multi-reflection grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction …

Ni–Al composite coatings were prepared at different applied current densities (1–8 A/dm 2)
from a conventional Watt bath. The influences of current densities on the texture, grain size …

Surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) was used to generate a gradient
microstructure in commercial grade magnesium. Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy …

In this work, the stress gradient in mechanically polished tungsten sample was studied using
X-ray diffraction methods. To determine in-depth stress evolution in the very shallow …
