The strengthening hard phases TiN/C1-xNxTi were generated by in-situ solid-gas reaction in Ni-based composite coatings prepared using a plasma spray welding process to reinforce the wear resistance of the coatings. The microstructures and properties of the coatings were investigated. The results showed that the coatings mainly consisted of phases such as TiN, C1-xNxTi, TiC, etc. A small amount ...

The effect of wax-containing microcapsules incorporated in silicone composite coatings deposited on aluminum (Al) alloy substrates on the tribological performance of the coatings was systematically investigated. The wax-containing microcapsules were prepared via in situ polymerization. The tribological behavior of the composite coatings was evaluated using ball-on-disk tribological test. It was...

Ni-Co duplex coatings were cladded onto Cu to improve the antiwear properties of Cu products. Prior to laser cladding, n-Al₂O₃/Ni layers were introduced as interlayers between laser cladding coatings and Cu substrates to improve the laser absorptivity of these substrates and ensure defect-free laser cladding coatings. The structure and morphology of the coatings were characterized by scanning e...

in this research, tribological behavior of ti-ni-p intermetallic coatings on titanium substrates have been investigated under dry reciprocating conditions. hardness profile testing results exhibit that high surface hardness has been attained and static indentation result shows that the intermetallic coating has better adhesion strength than the conventional ceramic coatings. in this respect, th...

development of argillic horizon in loess derived soils under xeric and udic soil moisture regimes was studied in golestan province. soils were classified as hapludalfs and haploxeralfs. high leaching, stability of the surface, forest vegetation,structure and well drainage conditions provide appropriate conditions for clay migration through the profile and formation of argillic horizons. in the ...
