AlCrN/TiAlSiN multilayer coatings have drown great attentions due to they combine both
high hardness of TiAlSiN coating and outstanding oxidation resistance of AlCrN coating. In …

Conventional DC magnetron sputter deposition from a carbon target with argon as the
sputtering gas is limited by a low deposition rate, and the resultant coatings have low …

TiAlSiN monolayer coatings with different hardness and hardness-modulated TiAlSiN
multilayer coatings with varied modulation periods were obtained on WC-Co substrates by …

TiAlSiN coatings with different Si contents (1.84–4.81 at.%) were prepared on WC-Co
substrates by plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition using different TiAlSi …

Technology to launch objects into the air is essential for various applications. In this study,
we propose a solid object launcher that pushes the object of centimeter-scale by the rapid …

The splashing erosion of electrodes in a DC atmospheric-pressure air arc has been
investigated by visualization of the electrode surface and the sputtered droplets, and …

Microparticles are an inevitable component of vacuum arcs. This paper focused on the
dynamics of microparticle and erosion behavior in high-current vacuum arcs. The arc was …

This investigation reports the influence of Ti–C and Ti–W cathode composition on an
industrial-scale dc vacuum arc plasma source. Further, we analyze the influence of plasma …

Arc duration and erosion characteristics of cables are closely related to electrical fire
hazards. In this study, the arc duration and arc erosion characteristics of copper and …

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 …
