Titanium nitride (TiN) has been used in the coating of tool steels since the mid-sixties. The
reasons to coat cutting tools in a production situation are to increase tool life, to improve the …

In Part I, of this work the equivalent circuits for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
(EIS) modelling of PVD coated steels in 0.5 N NaCl solution were established. In this paper …

AC electrochemical measurement techniques such as electrochemical impedance
spectroscopy (EIS) are finding their usefulness in evaluation of the corrosion behaviour of …

Hard coatings play a continuously increasing role in the field of tribology as well as for
decorative applications. In both areas they are often exposed to corrosive environments …

The corrosion resistance of mild steel coated with single layered and multi-layered TiN and
CrN coatings has been studied. The base material was coated with TiN and CrN by an …

In this study, the corrosion properties of TiN and (Ti, Al) N coatings fabricated by Hollow
Cathode Ionic Plating (HCIP) were studied by electrochemical techniques such as …

Replacing the femoral head and the acetabular socket with an artificial prosthetic
component is practiced throughout the world to restore painless joint function for patients …

Ti/TiN multilayered coatings of 200 layers with the thickness of 1.5 μm were deposited by a
reactive DC magnetron sputtering technique using a mixture of Ar and N2 gas. XRD …

Titanium carbonitride (TiCN) and titanium nitride (TiN) were deposited on steel substrates
XC48 using magnetron sputtering technique. The hardness of both films increases with the …

Ti0. 43Al0. 52Cr0. 03Y0. 02N films, which have been shown to exhibit a fine grain near
equiaxed microstructure were found to exhibit a compressive residual stress of− 6.5 GPa in …
