The reach of tribology has expanded in diverse fields and tribology related research
activities have seen immense growth during the last decade. This review takes stock of the …

With the continuous increase in technological applications, the progress of new
semiconductor materials continues to be a significant research field. In recent years, new …

The paper presents the first study of the abrasion resistance and degradation processes of
magnetron-sputtered Nb 3 Sn coatings on electropolished (EP) or chemical polished (CP) …

In the current study, a novel electrode comprising of Ni-doped ZnO on a fluorine-doped tin
oxide (FTO) glass was successfully applied as a photo-anode electrode to degrade …

CVD coatings were deposited on the cermets and cemented carbides tools. Uncoated
cermets, coated cermets and cemented carbides tools were used for hardened AISI H13 …

TiCN coatings were grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on WC-Co substrates with
different Co contents, in order to control thermal stress. The driving force for the development …

This work explores the influence of the crystallographic texture on the resulting frictional
response in two ceramic coatings systems containing top α-Al 2 O 3 layer with no and fiber …

A general strategy for the development of TiSiCN super-hard nanocomposite coatings was
proposed in the present work. Subsequently, TiSiCN coatings with promising industrial …

Abstract Herein, the γ (Ni)/γ'(Ni 3 Al) duplex phase binders were introduced into the Ti (C, N)-
based cermets, with their wear behaviors studied and compared to the ones incorporating γ …

In high-speed metal machining, cutting tools in the form of cemented carbide inserts coated
with thin wear-resistant coatings are commonly used. These coatings are often made of …
