Friction and wear enhancement of magnetron sputtered bilayer Cr–N/TiB2 thin-film coatings

Evaluation of Corrosion Resistance of Thin Films Formed on AISI 316L Steel by Plasma Using Hastelloy as Cathodic Cage

“…The increase in the layer thickness follows various studies. [1][2][3] Our results agree with the layer growth models for samples treated with floating potential presented in previous works, [4,5] which point to the spraying of the active cage or mesh as the main mechanism for the growth of the layer. Another important factor is the uniformity of the deposited layer with low standard deviation values for all samples.…”

“…In the past decades, the deposition of thin films has been a strategic alternative to provide improved surface properties. The development of protective layers on metallic substrates has enabled good wear resistance, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] corrosion protection, [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] enhanced surface hardness, [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] and superior biocompatibility. [18,20,[35][36][37][38][39][40] Plasma deposition procedure is a promising technique that can be used to supply thin films, aiming at applications such as magnetron sputtering, [2,3,6,10,12,18,…”

TiB2 nanoparticles with a broadband nonlinear response for ultrafast pulse generation

“…These qualities indicate the great potential of TiB 2 for application in anti-abrasion and antioxidation areas. [22][23][24] Strong resistance to chemical corrosion and melting make TiB 2 possess huge ability to resists erosion of non-alkali molten salts. [25][26][27] Due to the high electrical conductivity and good thermal shock resistance, TiB 2 shows great potential for interconnects and diffusion barriers.…”
