In this study nanosized TiO2coatings on the 316L stainless steel substrate were prepared by means of dip-coating technique in which thickness of the coating layer increased byrepeating the coating cycles in two different routes: (I) dipping and drying,respectively, were repeated one, three and five times and finally the dried coated sample was heat treated (single); (II) multiple heat treatment...

Aluminide coatings have been studied for many years because of their excellent corrosion resistance in oxidizing, sulfidizing and carburizing environments. One of the factors that inhibits their application is a lack of sufficient data about their potential benefits. In order to address this issue, model coatings are being fabricated using a chemical vapor deposition (CVD process on ferritic (F...

Degradation caused by silicate deposits limits the lifetime of protective coatings in gas turbine engines. In order to design more durable coating materials and architectures it is important understand behavior ingested debris leading formation on component surfaces, subsequent reaction those with materials. This article reviews recent advances thermodynamic models databases capable predicting ...

Polymers in the form of composite electrolytes, as binders and protective coatings are used to modify interfaces facilitate manufacture lithium solid-state batteries with inorganic solid electrolytes.

Calcium tannate was synthesized, characterized, and dispersed into an epoxy coating as inhibitive pigment. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) employed to monitor the anti-corrosive performance of formulated with as-prepared pigment after exposure salt spray chamber. Reference coatings commercial calcium phosphate unpigmented were also evaluated for comparison reasons. EIS results show...

An arc-sprayed amorphous Al–Ti–Ni coating on S355 structural steel was processed by laser remelting (LR) at powers of 600, 800, and 1000 W. The surface-cross-sectional morphologies, chemical element distributions, and phase compositions of the as-obtained Al–Ti–Ni coatings were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and X-ray diffractometer (X...

Graffiti on facades often has a heavy impact in social and economic terms, particularly when historical and artistic artefacts are affected. To limit the damages to the surfaces, preventive plans are implemented and anti-graffiti coatings are used as a protective measure. In this study, the distribution of a spray paint inside a highly porous stone, with and without anti-graffiti protection, wa...
