Mo 2 BC ceramic has potential application value in structural fields due to its high strength
and hardness. However, the microstructures and mechanical properties of ceramics are …

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 …

In this study, the tribological behaviors of Mo 2 BC ceramics against four different
counterpart materials were studied. It was established that the tribological properties of Mo 2 …

To achieve a balance between the tribo-oxidation of MoB 2-x layer and the oxidation
resistance of the Cr layer, and to develop a hard film with high-temperature self-lubrication …

In this work, the phase formation and thermal stability of XBC powders are investigated,
where X={Nb, Ta, and W}. XBC powders are synthesized by pulsed-DC magnetron …

The article presents composition-dependent structural and mechanical properties of sputter-
deposited WBC coatings. The industrial batch-coater employs a cylindrical sputter source …

Single-phase polycrystalline Mo 2 BC ceramic bulks were synthesized successfully from
molybdenum, boron, and graphite powders using the spark plasma sintering method …

To determine the effect of heating and water-cooling on the mechanical properties of the WC-
Co coatings, we conducted a series of mechanical tests on the HVOF (high-velocity oxygen …

Abstract Mo< sub> 2</sub> BC-TiC composites were fabricated by fast hot-pressing
sintering method with Mo< sub> 2</sub> BC powder as raw material and nano-TiC powder …

This thesis explores the XBC materials (X= Mo, Nb, Ta, W) in the form of thin coatings. It
details the motivation for the study of these materials, their deposition by magnetron …
