Titanium nitride (TiN) is known as an ultra-hard ceramic, mainly deployed in thin hard
coating applications for improving the substrate's surface properties. Therefore, investigating …

In the present study, graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs: 1–2 wt.%) reinforced TiN coating were
successfully fabricated over titanium alloy using a reactive shroud plasma spraying …

Orthopedic and dental implants made from Ti6Al4V are widely used due to their excellent
mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, the long-term performance of these …

This work reports a simple and convenient surface modification method to enhance the bio-
tribological properties of additive manufactured (AM) biomedical titanium alloys. The Ti-6Al …

Ultrasonic rolling processing (URP) can strengthen the material surface layer and enhance
the material properties. However, the surface layer of work hardening induced by URP …

In this paper, the influence of a surface ultrasonic rolling process on the surface integrity of
TC4 titanium alloy and its influence on the fatigue properties were studied. By comparing …

Porous ceramics have attracted extensive attention because of their high porosity, low
thermal conductivity, large specific surface area and good corrosion resistance. In this work …

In this work, oxide-free AlN coating was fabricated using single-step, large throughput
nitrogen-shrouded plasma spraying. Initially, Al/AlN composite feedstock powder was …
