Adhesive wear is one of the major reasons for the failure of components during various
tribological application, especially for rubbing with viscous materials. This study presents …

This article presents a brief review of the research progress achieved in the field of
aluminium nitride (AlN) metastable cubic modifications synthesis. It covers mainly the …

Growing demand for efficient, high-resolution surface processing has led to the emergence
of a rich variety of plasma-based technologies underpinned by an equally wide range of …

Ab initio-calculated ideal strength and toughness describe the upper limits for mechanical
properties attainable in real systems and can, therefore, be used in selection criteria for …

In the present study, nanocomposite-TiAlSiN coatings were deposited on WC-Co blocks
using HiPIMS technology by varying pulse frequency. Its immediate effect on V–I signature …

As an important parameter of HIPIMS, pulse frequency has significant influence on the
microstructure and mechanical properties of the deposited coatings, especially for the multi …

Reactive high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (R-HiPIMS) is seen as a key-technology
for the deposition of future hard and multifunctional coatings. Increased ionisation rates …

Ensuring a good adhesion of the coatings to the substrate is one of the key points during the
manufacturing of machining and forming tools. The nature of the substrate material and the …

Arc-evaporated AlTiN coatings with remarkable adhesion and thermal stability are widely
used in manufacturing. However, the large residual stress and surface roughness limit their …

Despite having advantages like high productivity and green manufacturing, the application
of high speed dry machining (HSDM) is limited because it is associated with high cutting …
