Microscratch responses of 14 bulk metallic glasses were investigated by Rockwell C
diamond indenter under progressive normal load. Effects of mechanical properties on …

The large‐scale synthesis of high‐quality boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) has attracted
considerable interests due to their applications in nanocomposites, thermal management …

A technique for fatigue life prediction of metals is presented based on a microstructure-
sensitive estimation of plastic strain energy per cycle. The approach enables rapid …

Commercial ceramic protective coatings usually exhibit high hardness, but low ductility
impairs their performance and application-oriented properties. Accordingly, a state-of-the-art …

Ternary WBC coatings were non-reactively deposited in order to enhance the envelope of
the mechanical properties of the binary transition metal borides and carbides with a focus on …

The inherent properties of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) can be further enhanced
through the control of their anisotropy. In particular, horizontally aligned BNNTs (HABNNTs) …

The surface sintering approach was examined in the present manuscript to obtain single
cathode material consisting of multiple elements. Design of electromagnetic discharge …

In this study, combinatorial magnetron sputtering was used to deposit Nb-BC coatings in a
wide composition range. The phase formation, thermal stability and mechanical properties of …

This article presents theoretical and experimental findings on the stability of orthorhombic
(Mo 1− x Nb x) 2 BC phase in magnetron sputtered coatings, where molybdenum is …

This study reports on the deposition and properties of Ta–B–C coatings by the co-sputtering
of tantalum, boron carbide, and graphite targets using High Power Impulse Magnetron …
