The results of studies on the regularities of structure formation and properties of high-entropy
alloys prepared by different methods are analyzed and generalized. Specific features of the …

The quest for materials with molecular scale properties that can satisfy the demands of the
21st century has led to the development of one dimensional nanostructures, ODNS. Nearly …

Focusing on nanocrystalline (nc) pure face-centered cubic metals, where systematic
experimental data are available, this paper presents a brief overview of the recent progress …

This paper presents a review devoted to the specific mechanical behavior of thin near-
surface layers of various solids, materials, films, and multilayer coatings under local loading …

Various approaches to creating multicomponent nanocomposite coatings of high and
superhigh hardness (from≈ 30 to 100–120 GPa) are reviewed with particular emphasis …

Main regularities of the formation of microstructure and properties of multilayer
nanostructured CrN/MoN films with periodically changing architecture of layers were …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings have gained wide attraction, due to ultra-low coefficient
of friction, high resistance to wear, excellent mechanical properties, and inert to chemical …

Hard coatings are extensively used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace
and tooling industries. Hard coatings are deposited using, typically, chemical vapor …

The crystal structure and chemical bonding of magnetron-sputtering deposited nickel
carbide Ni 1− x C x (0.05⩽ x⩽ 0.62) thin films have been investigated by high-resolution x …

In this paper, we investigated the effects of multi-scale textures on improving the adhesion of
PVD TiAlN coating-carbide substrate composites, which is crucial for tribological …
