An effective way to protect the steel surface from degradation is to develop a coating on top
of the steel substrate. A wide variety of coating deposition processes are available to …

This book proposes a wide overview of the research and development of proton-conducting
solid oxide materials. It is the first to approach the topic on proton-conducting ceramics and …

In the last decades, refractory high entropy thin films have attracted more attention due to
their superior properties at high temperatures. Besides the thermal stability, these new …

In this work, the CrAlNx/CrAlN micro-nano multi-layer structure coating was designed and
prepared on TC11 titanium alloy by Arc Ion Plating (AIP). In addition, the monolayer CrN and …

In this study, CrN and CrAlN coatings were deposited on the surface of aerospace titanium
alloys using the arc ion plating technology to investigate the effect of the microstructure of …

Abstract (AlTiZrHfTa) 1− x N x refractory high entropy films (RHEFs) were deposited by direct
current magnetron sputtering in various nitrogen ratios (R N2= N 2/(Ar+ N 2)) on flat glass …

Titanium nitride or dioxide coatings have been reactively sputter-deposited under unstable
sputtering conditions using a cold or hot target. We have shown that increasing the sputtered …

Intense solar irradiation, radiative cooling to outer space, and internal heat generation
determine the equilibrium temperature of a spacecraft. The balance between the solar …

The 316L stainless steels, often used in turbine blades for naval and marine applications,
usually suffer from localized pitting corrosion after long exposure to chlorinated …

Aluminium-based alloy coatings are potential candidates for galvanic corrosion protection of
mechanical steel parts. This paper presents the microstructure and morphological …
