Abstract Around 1,000 peer-reviewed papers were selected from 3,450 articles published
during 2020–2021, and reviewed as the representative advances in tribology research …

The widespread application of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel is mainly due to its high
corrosion resistance. However, its field of application can be expanded by improving its …

AISI-1045 steel is medium strength steel, and it needs surface modification to use in
machine components. The surface properties of steel can be improved by plasma nitriding …

Molybdenum dioxide has been widely applied in various fields. Constructing novel
molybdenum-dioxide-based heterojunction is prospective to expand the applications in …

In this study, the structural and stoichiometric properties of titanium nitride films deposited by
cathodic cage plasma deposition (CCPD) and DC magnetron sputtering (MS) are compared …

In this study, we introduced a modified cathodic cage plasma deposition (CCPD) system to
synthesize a Ti–Nb–C–N-based composite coating on AISI-4340 steel. This composite …

In recent years, the MoO 3 in different morphologies and phases have attracted the attention
due to their physical and chemical properties, mainly in the form of thin films. In this paper …

The present work evaluates the nitriding and deposition of niobium and vanadium films
using the cathode cage technique and its influence on the formation of a double film …

The use of thin films as solid lubricating makes it an excellent option for controlling wear and
friction under certain operating conditions, in addition to not harming the environment. Thus …

The automotive industry is one of the largest industrial segments in the world market. The
exhaust system of motor vehicles is responsible for the emission and treatment of toxic …
