This paper provides a comprehensive assessment of the sliding and abrasive wear
behaviour of WC–10Co4Cr hardmetal coatings, representative of the existing state-of-the …

A tantalum carbide (TaC) ceramic layer was produced on gray cast iron matrix by in situ
technique comprising a casting process and a subsequent heat treatment at 1135° C for 45 …

This study is dedicated to the detailed investigation of boronization kinetic, microstructural,
mechanical, and wear properties of high entropy alloys (HEAs) considering their sluggish …

Different coating technologies imply a large variation in the properties of the deposited
material. This work compares, for the first time, the wear and corrosion performance of …

Abstract Niobium pentoxide (Nb 2 O 5) has excellent physicochemical properties regardless
of the processing technology. The interest in its application in several fields has increased …

This study presents an improved approach to the quality assessment of thermally sprayed
coatings. Measurements were carried out on five different coatings. Since it is the overall …

A nano-ZrB 2 reinforced CoNiCrAlY composite coating with highly dense structures was
prepared by HVOF via a step-fashion mechanical alloying (MA) powder process. The …

The cracking behaviour of Cr 3 C 2–25 (Ni20Cr) and WC–20Cr 3 C 2–7Ni thermally sprayed
coatings during tensile load in 3-point bending tests was studied by Acoustic Emission (AE) …

Die wear is an important problem for manufacturers in hot-working processes, eg metal die
casting, hot extrusion and thixoextrusion of aluminium, magnesium or steel, as well as glass …

Magnesium alloys are very interesting engineering materials due to their very high strength
to density ratio (the best among metallic alloys). However, because of low hardness as well …
