Abstract:In this study, NiCrBSi-30 wt.% TiN composite (NTC) coating was produced on carbon steel via plasma spraying, with NiCrBSi-30 wt.% WC composite (NWC) coating as the comparison object. The microstructure and phase constituents of the composite coatings were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) techniques, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to measure electronic work function… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
