This article discusses the possibilities of two methods for monitoring Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process parameters: multi-grid probe, which makes it possible, in particular, to determine energy distribution ions one- or two-component plasma and spectrum analyzer glow discharge electromagnetic radiation signal based on Prony–Fourier multichannel inductive spectral analysis sensor. The cur...

Abstract Currently, scientists are striving to produce innovative textile materials characterized by special properties. Therefore, attempts have been made use physical and chemical vapor deposition techniques modify the surface of materials, i.e., nonwovens, fabrics, knitted fabrics. By using these for modifying basic researchers obtained textiles with novel properties, which used in shielding...

This paper presents the Finite Element (FE) analyses carried out with aim to predict tooth root fatigue and Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF) behavior of spur gears, in terms crack propagation maximum number cycles. The combination different materials, i.e. steel titanium, surface treatments, case-hardening application layers by Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), are investigated. residual stresses i...

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) laminates have been widely used in engineering applications recent decades. This is mainly due to their superior mechanical properties compared single-phase materials. High strength-to-weight ratio, high stiffness, and excellent corrosion fatigue resistance are some of the attractive these In large structures, drilling composite panels a typical operation assemble...

a r t i c l e i n f o Solution-based chalcogenide glass films, traditionally deposited by spin-coating, are attractive for their potential use in chip-based devices operating in the mid-infrared and for ease of nanostructure incorporation. To overcome limitations of spin-coating such as excessive material waste and difficulty for scale-up, this paper introduces electrospray as a film deposition...

Lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) cathode has been widely applied in 3C products (computer, communication, and consumer), LCO films are currently the most promising materials for thin-film lithium batteries (TFBs) due to their high volumetric energy density favorable durability. Most thin fabricated by physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques, while influence of preparation on materials’ properties ...

This paper reports on the design and implementation of thin film multilayer dielectric to form Bragg reflectors on the sidewalls of micromachined atomic cells. Due to deposition shadowing, significant variations in the thicknesses of the thin films are encountered when the layers are deposited using PECVD. These gradients in thickness may limit optical performance of the reflector in atomic cel...

β-NiAl coatings on a superalloy substrate will inevitably result in severe rumpling at elevated temperatures; however, the associated mechanisms are not completely understood. The scale behavior of β-NiAlHf coating deposited by electron beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) single crystal IC21 was investigated this work. Some internal factors, including mismatch coefficient thermal expansion ...

This paper is a review on the status of hard coating of various physical vapour deposition (PVD) techniques and compare their properties. The use of hard and wear resistant PVD coatings on cutting tools is now widespread in global manufacturing for reducing production cost and improving productivity, all of which are essential if industry is to remain economically competitive. The review includ...

Die casting process is used since long, but even today problems like erosion, corrosion, soldering and sticking affect die life. These dies undergo thermal cyclic loads from 70 oC to 600 oC during processing. Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) hard coating can play an important role in such extreme applications. In the present work, we report the use of Chromium based multila...
