Electromagnetic flowmeters are used to measure the speed of water flow in water distribution systems. Corrosion problem in metal pipelines can be solved by cathodic protection methods. This paper presents a research on corruptive effects of the cathodic protection system on electromagnetic flowmeter depending on its measuring principle. Experimental measurements are realized on the water distri...

A series of TiAlON coatings were synthesized in a gaseous mixture of argon, nitrogen and oxygen by cathodic arc evaporation method using a Ti–Al mosaic target. Oxidation of coatings was carried out by heating the coated samples at the temperatures of 500, 600, 700, and 800°C for 1 h in air atmosphere. It was found that heat treatment changed the microstructure and composition of the coating. Th...

The influence of pulsed substrate bias duty cycle on the growth, microstructure, and defects Ti1-xAlxN coatings grown by cathodic arc deposition was investigated. varying compositions (x = 0.56, 0.38, 0.23) were deposited cemented carbide substrates with 10, 25, 50, 95% cycles −50 V pulsed-bias under 10 Pa pure N2 gas. Coatings at low (10 25%) showed strongly textured, under-dense facetted colu...

The high corrosion resistance of stainless steel (SS) reinforcing bars is widely recognized. However, little information is available on how much cathodic current a passive SS rebar assembly could produce to support a local anode as corrosion eventually starts. The ability of SS to perform as a cathode would have a direct impact on the corrosion rate of the anodic region. To address this issue,...

Titanium and its alloys have good biocompatibility with body cells and tissues and are widely used for implant applications. However, clinical procedures place more stringent and tough requirements on the titanium surface necessitating artificial surface treatments. Among the many methods of titanium surface modification, electrochemical techniques are simple and cheap. Anodic oxidation is the ...

Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) is the main component for Maritime Security and Defence. Because of that, TNI AL needs Indonesian Warship (KRI) to covered Maritime area. The main requirement from KRI is fulfilled by demand. To pock of fuel demand from KRI at Naval Base, it needs a new pipeline of fuel distribution network system. The pipeline network system used for maximum lifetime must be protected ...

(AlCrTiMoV)N high entropy nitride film was prepared on 17-4PH stainless steel substrate using cathodic arc evaporation (CAE). The composition, microstructure, and thermal stability were investigated scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD). Mechanical properties such as hardness Young’s modulus coating performance against wear erosion also evaluated. resul...
