Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a widely utilized process in various industrial applications, serving as protective and hard coating. However, its presence fields like fashion has only recently emerged, electroplating processes had previously dominated this reality. The future looks toward the replacement of most hazardous toxic electrochemical processes, especially those involving Cr(VI) cy...

Abstract Recently, the integration of a maraging steel heat treatment into vacuum brazing has been conducted successfully to manufacture high-strength and sound cemented carbide-steel joints with elevated mechanical properties component. Besides use low-melting silver-based active filler alloys cost-intensive palladium-containing alloys, application nickel layer on surface by an arc-PVD process...

The success of a functional coating is intrinsically linked to the improvement its surface properties, as it that will be in direct contact with environment and mechanical stresses when material used severe wear, fatigue, or corrosion applications. It has been shown, for example, by increasing factors such hardness increase durability coating/substrate system. Consequently, current research on ...

This study aimed to investigate the influence of bimodal TiO2/nanoTiO2 coatings obtained in PVD/ALD hybrid process on an Al-Si-Cu-type aluminium alloy physicochemical properties investigated materials. The reference materials were uncoated substrates and samples coated with TiO2 single PVD ALD processes. Tests carried out morphology using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) atomic force (AFM) de...

The nickel–iron–chromium (alloy 20) is enriching by hybrid surface treatment through plasma nitride (PN) and physical vapor deposition (PVD) process. nitriding process takes 12 h at 500 °C. Potentiodynamic testing used to characterize the corrosion performance of treated material, followed morphological analysis exposed surface; XRD, EDX, SEM, hardness, tensile are investigate appropriate coati...

Different application methods for coatings have their individual advantages and disadvantages. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) titanium nitride are hard but cannot be produced economically in high coating thicknesses, example. Polymer derived ceramic (PDC) coatings, on the other hand, good oxidation protection properties can easily with worse mechanical properties. Therefore, a combination of d...

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) suffer from the thermo-chemo-mechanical coupling action of thermal shock and calcium–magnesium–alumina–silicate (CMAS) corrosion. However, failure mechanism TBCs under synergistic effect CMAS corrosion is still unclear due to a lack an environmental simulator. Herein, 8YSZ ceramic coating deposited on PtAl bond coating/DD419 nickel-based single crystal superalloy...

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are recognized for a broad range of industrial applications due to their superior mechanical properties such as high hardness, low friction, and promising wear resistance. DLC commonly produced with physical vapour deposition (PVD) plasma-enhanced chemical (PECVD) methods. New markets emerging in electronics, biomedical, additive manufacturing textiles sectors...

Abstract Within this study, self-lubricating and triboactive (Cr,Al)N+Mo:S coatings were developed investigated for the deposition on components in a low-temperature physical vapor (PVD) hybrid process. Therefore, direct current magnetron sputtering (dcMS) high power pulse (HPPMS) PVD combined by using an industrial coating machine. Hereby, it was possible to deposit dense smooth triboactive, n...
