Traditional single-function anticorrosion coatings have been unable to meet the needs for
long-term protection in harsh marine environments. Therefore, developing excellent …

Pulsed magnetic treatment (PMT) has been adopted as an effective strengthening method
for engineering materials and components in recent years, and the development of its …

The reliability of the coated industry components demands ideal fatigue properties of the
coating, and it is mainly determined by the performance of the interfaces. In this study …

Combating microbial contamination has been one of the hottest topics in the scientific
community. Therefore, antibacterial materials have been rapidly developed and widely used …

Given the friction and drag reduction effects observed in various biological hexagonal
structures in nature, a new design was implemented on the rubber surface of the stator of a …

A TiAlN-coating with laser-induced depth-graded micro-textured substrate was produced by
combination of ultra-fast laser and vacuum cathodic arc. The depth-graded micro-textures …

The bond coat of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) often experiences internal crack nucleation
and propagation due to insufficient strain tolerance, leading to premature failure during …

This research proposes a complete analysis of the use of physical vapour deposition coated
dies in the sheet metal forming process for high‐strength‐steel sheets. The goal of the …

The adhesive contact between a rigid toroidal indenter and an elastic half space is
investigated numerically. The traction is modeled using the Lennard-Jones potential with …

Enhancing the cohesion of Cr coatings is essential for preventing cracking and prolonging
their durability in service. This study focuses on investigating the impact of columnar grain …
