Hip and knee joint replacements are common and largely successful procedures that utilise
implants to restore mobility and relieve pain for patients suffering from eg osteoarthritis …

The value and impact that ceramic coatings have had in the development of modern
mechanical systems and protection of components exposed to harsh environments are often …

Abstract Nanometric CrN/ZrN and CrN/CrAlN multilayer coatings were deposited on 316L
stainless steel as metallic bipolar plates (BPs) for proton exchange membrane fuel cells …

Through superlattice (SL) architectures, the hardness as well as the fracture toughness of
ceramic thin films can be enhanced. The hardness-related SL effect is reasonably well …

The main goal of this study is to compare the electrochemical behavior of CrN/TiN multilayer
coating and TiN single-layer coating applied by cathodic arc evaporation (CAE)-physical …

Hard coatings are widely used in materials engineering as surface coatings to protect
mechanical parts subject to friction. For a coating to be functionally successful, it should …

This study was conducted to investigate the wear behavior of electrodeposited Ni-Fe-Al 2 O
3 coating and to assess the effect of its multilayer (ML) structure. The ML Ni-Fe-Al 2 O 3 …

Metallic materials used in medicine and dentistry should have high corrosion resistance and
high biocompability. In this study, the influence of TiN, CrN and TiN/CrN layers on the …

Total hip replacement is the most effective treatment for late stage osteoarthritis. However,
adverse local tissue reactions (ALTRs) have been observed in patients with modular total …

Cutting is an important process in the manufacturing industry. It is necessary to use good
quality cutting tools in order to maintain the quality of a product. The coating on a cutting tool …
