Friction and wear usually lead to huge energy loss and failure of machine pairs, which
usually causes great economic losses. Researchers have made great efforts to reduce …

Gas turbines (GTEs) are often utilised in harsh environments where the GT components,
including compressor vanes and rotor blades, are subject to erosion damage by sand and …

High-Entropy Alloys, Second Edition provides a complete review of the current state of the
field of high entropy alloys (HEA). Building upon the first edition, this fully updated release …

In this paper, four kinds of hard coatings, TiN, CrN, TiAlN and CrAlN (with Al/Ti or Al/Cr
atomic ratio around 1: 1), were deposited on stainless steel substrates by a lateral rotating …

High-entropy nitride coatings have become a promising alternative to traditional protective
coatings due to their excellent mechanical properties, thermal stability, oxidation, and wear …

Today the development of clean technologies in all spheres of industrial manufacturing is an
essential task, not only for material and metal finishing but also for plasma surface …

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

The properties of CrN, AlCrN and AlTiN coatings deposited on cemented carbide substrates
by a multiple-arc Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) technique were evaluated by cyclic …

The purpose of this study is to investigate comparative tribological behaviors of Cu-doped
TiN, CrN, and MoN coatings under a wide range of dry sliding conditions. TiN and CrN …

The effect of Ti interlayers on the corrosion resistance of TiN PVD coatings is investigated.
The coatings were deposited using direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS) and high …
