Abstract TiNi shape memory alloy exhibits an excellent cavitation erosion resistance. Therefore, it's effective method for preventing by applying this material as a coating. In paper, the effect of Co element addition on resistance based coating deposited atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) was investigated. The microstructure and microhardness were characterized. results show that lamellar micro...

Polyimides are widely used for the external surfaces of spacecraft. In low Earth orbit (LEO), they are exposed to atomic oxygen (AO) and to problems of electrostatic discharge (ESD). This work demonstrates that liquid-phase deposition (LPD) of titania creates a protective coating on Kapton polyimide that is effective in reducing AO-induced surface erosion and in preventing ESD. Adherent titania...

The purpose of this study was to develop a new method of releasing fluorine in a controlled manner for applications in the field of orthodontic Ti-based wire, namely the coating of fluorides on Ti. Thin films of two fluoride compounds, CaF(2) and MgF(2), were coated on Ti via the electron-beam evaporation method. The fluorine was released rapidly from the as-deposited MgF(2) coating within a sh...

This article describes fretting behavior of zirconia and silicon nitride balls on an electro-deposited coating. Fretting tests are performed using a ball-on-flat configuration. The evolution of the kinetic friction coefficient is determined, along with slip ratio. Experimental results show that the steady-state friction coefficient between ceramic balls (Si₃N₄ and ZrO₂) and an electro-deposited...

Titanium and its alloys are wildly used in industries. Shrouded plasma spray can be considered as a useful technology to produce low oxide containing titanium coatings. In this paper, the effect of shroud spraying on chemical composition thickness coatings were investigated. plasma-sprayed deposited onto mild steel substrates. Air also for comparison under same parameters. Those then studied te...

The degradation of SiO, coatings deposited on alloys by metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) in sulphidizing high-temperature environments is determined by delamination and crack formation. With increasing water concentration during deposition, the crack density in silica decreases and the critical thickness for delamination of SiO, coatings increases. This improvement is supposed t...

Selective Separation Sintering (SSS) is a powder layer based Additive Manufacturing approach. SSS can fabricate high temperature ceramic and metallic parts at comparatively lower cost with high quality. In the printing process a dry powder of higher sintering temperature is deposited into the base material which makes up the part. The inserted powder defines the boundary of the part and separat...

Optical properties and structure of antireflective coatings (AR) deposited from hydrolysed TEOS sol have been characterized in detail. The influence of various parameters on the formation of colloidal silica antireflective coatings by the dip-coating technique has been investigated. For the characterization of colloidal silica films, the UV-visible spectroscopy, laser ellipsometry, and atomic f...
