The MoS2-Ti composite coatings were deposited by a hybrid high power impulse magnetron
sputtering (HIPIMS) source of Ti combined with a direct current magnetron sputtering (DC …

Abstract (TiB 2+ h-BN)/2024Al and TiB 2/2024Al composites were fabricated by pressure
infiltration technique. The dry sliding tribological behavior of the two composites was …

Superlubricity is an ideal state with zero contact friction between two frictional interfaces. It
has become a hot research topic for many scientists in the past 20 years, and the field spans …

A hybrid organic–inorganic sol–gel coating was successfully prepared and subsequently
functionalized individually with five different metal oxide additives. The effect of the …

Transition metal nitrides, especially ternary phase films attract attention due to their high
mechanical and tribological features. Besides these, fatigue properties play a very important …

Abstract β-Si 3 N 4 whiskers reinforced Al matrix composites were prepared by hot pressing.
The effect of β-Si 3 N 4 whiskers addition on the microstructure, mechanical properties and …

In this study, AISI52100 steel surfaces were coated with bilayer Cr–N/TiB 2 thin films in total
thickness of 65 and 120 nm by magnetron sputtering. The CrN/TiB 2 thin-films deposited …

An experimental and numerical study of the scratch test on FeB/Fe 2 B bilayers is presented.
The boride layers were formed at the surface of AISI 304 steels by developing the powder …

Abstract Honeycomb-patterned hybrid Ti 2 AlN/TiNi films were produced on M2 and Inconel
718 substrates using a magnetron sputtering system. These films were subjected to heat …
