Scanning probe instruments have expanded beyond their traditional role as imaging or "reading" tools and are now routinely used for "writing." Although a variety of scanning probe lithography techniques are available, each one imposes different requirements on the types of probes that must be used. Additionally, throughput is a major concern for serial writing techniques, so for a scanning prob...

From the great variety of methods to improve efficiency cutting tools, it is necessary highlight applying wear-resistant coatings, which in recent years are increasingly used. Applying coatings on tool can significantly increase its and intensify machining modes. Mechanisms strengthening coating for materials have been analyzed under impact technological parameters condensation process structur...

simple and economic coating monitoring technology. The light-emitting properties of the novel coating can serve as an indicator layer, which warns when the coating has worn off, replacing or recoating is necessary [7]. When we inspect on coating with a hand-held UV-lamp, the yellowgreen light of SrAl2O4:Eu, Dy3+ will disappear. It means that the functional coating is worn out and that recoating...

In this paper, the possibility of mechanical coating of aluminum with either Ni or SiC using planetary ball mill was studied. The Al substrate was fixed inside of the vial lid of a planetary ball mill filled with milling balls and starting powder. The phase analysis and crystallite size measurement of the coatings were carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. Scanning electron micro...

Calcium silicate (CS) ceramic is a good coating candidate for biomedical implants to improve biocompatibility and accelerate early osseointegration. However, the poor fracture toughness and wear resistance of this ceramic material restricts the long-term performance of implants. In this study, graphene plates (GPs) were used as reinforcement to improve the mechanical properties of CS coating. C...

Abstract Cold spray is considered as an emerging technique for preparing wear-resistant metal matrix composite coatings on the surface of various kinds metallic materials. In this work, a viable strategy “cold spraying + hot rolling post-treatment” was successfully applied to prepare B 4 C/6061 Al coating commercially available 6061 plates. The results revealed that post-treatment in uniform di...

Currently, carbide cutting tools are mainly used for processing blanks of machine parts. Increasing the working life plates is one urgent tasks in mechanical engineering. The paper proposes to increase due complex modification surfaces tool. Modification tool surface proposed be carried out on basis electron beam alloying with an alloy based niobium and hafnium, followed by application a wear-r...

The wear failure mode of a paver spiral blade was simulated by EDEM software. High-manganese steel, medium chromium alloy and high steel were selected as matrix materials; SiC particles WC surface particle reinforcement the prepared EPC process. performance mechanism analyzed microstructure, hardness, impact, pin disk, erosion test, morphology. Modeling with software applying discrete element a...
