This review explores recent advancements in physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating
techniques. PVD is a widely used method for depositing thin films onto various surfaces and …

Hard and wear-resistant coatings created utilizing physical vapor deposition (PVD)
techniques are extensively used in extreme tribological applications. The friction and wear …

Adhesion of coating to substrate has been a challenge due to the hybrid effects induced by
surface roughness. In this study, the adhesion of electroplated nickel and electroless NiP …

Mgsingle bond Li alloys have a wide application in the lightweight structure materials on
account of their ultra-light-weight, good machinability and high specific strength. However …

The poor surface properties of Mgsingle bondLi alloys and the excellent comprehensive
performance of high-entropy alloy (HEA) coatings are highly complementary. This study …

In the cutting process of SiCp/Al composites with PCD tools, severe tool wear often occurs,
which affects the processing quality and cost. In this paper, the mechanism and effect of the …

Nowadays there is the need to avoid the excessive consumption of liquid lubricant oils, as
they are harmful to the environment and hard to disposal. Self-lubricant films have been …

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 …

The adhesion strength of coating is critical to the coating lifetime. Our previous study found a
novel volcano-shaped texture enhanced the adhesion of physical vapor deposition (PVD) …

Electric potential controlled lubrication, also known as triboelectrochemistry or
electrotunable tribology, is an emerging field to regulate the friction, wear, and lubrication …
