In this study, 6061 Al alloy was galvanostatically anodized under the Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) condition. A factorial design of 22 carried out using two variables (anodization time and presence silver in electrolyte) on levels, i.e., 20 60 min anodization absence/presence ions electrolyte. The performed sodium silicate electrolyte, applying a constant current density mA cm−2. oxide c...

Tin (IV) oxide (SnO2) sols have been synthesized from SnCl2·2H2O precursor solution by applying two different processing conditions. The prepared were then deposited on UV-Ozone-treated quartz and soda lime glass (SLG) substrates spin coating. as-synthesized film was soft baked at about 100 °C for 10 min. This process repeated 5 times to get a compact film, followed air annealing 250 2 h. prist...

GIXRD analysis reveale...

Functionally graded and composite materials are known as new materials, which exhibit higher performances provide a comprehensive application. This paper introduces bi-layer Ni-rich/NiTiCu alloy with structure comprising nano-crystal, glassy amorphous microstructure. The successive crystallization of thin films deposited at room temperature was studied by annealing 773 K for 15, 30, 60 min. Dif...

The direct liquid injection chemical vapor deposition (DLI-CVD) of uniform and dense zirconium oxide (ZrO2) thin films applicable as corrosion protection coatings (CPCs) is reported. We present the entire development chain from rational choice thermal evaluation suitable heteroleptic precursor [Zr(OiPr)2(tbaoac)2] over detailed DLI-CVD process design finally benchmarking CPC behavior using elec...

18% Ni-Co-Mo-Ti ferrous base alloys are special materials, widely used in the industry of isotopic enrichment after specific annealing and aging thermal treatment. The desirable high mechanical properties can then be attained by adequate heat treatment, answering structural materials specifications required defense applications aerospace nuclear engineering. For instance, enrichment, rocket eng...

Conducting polymers are potential candidates for thermoelectric (TE) applications owing to their low thermal conductivity, non-toxicity and low cost. However, the coil conformation and random aggregation of polymer chains usually degrade electrical transport properties, thus deteriorating TE performance. In this work, we fabricated poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) films with highly oriented morpho...
