In the present study, a conversion layer mainly composed by cerium oxide was prepared by means of a novel ultrasound-assisted coating process. The formation of a conversion layer on top of the Mg alloy provides physical barrier properties improving the corrosion protection. In addition, the incorporation of cerium oxide within the coating enables the formation of a protective layer on the pores...

A 0.5 μm thick layer of rhodium was deposited on the CMSX 4 superalloy by the electroplating method. The rhodium-coated superalloy was hafnized and aluminized or only aluminized using the Chemical vapour deposition method. A comparison was made of the microstructure, phase composition, and oxidation resistance of three aluminide coatings: nonmodified (a), rhodium-modified (b), and rhodiumand ha...

This paper considers the explicit solutions of free-edge stresses near circumferential cracks in surface coatings of circular torsion bars and their application in determining the progressive cracking density in the coating layers. The problem was formulated within the framework of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). The free-edge stresses near crack tip and the shear stresses in the cros...

Three layered pellets of budesonide were prepared for colon delivery by the extrusion-spheronization method. The coatings consisted of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) (as barrier layer), Eudragit E (as rate controlling layer) and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose acetate succinate (HPMC AS) (as enteric layer). The rate controlling layer was further modified using various pore formers. Dissolut...

The study the hardness, wear corrosion resistance of as-coating, heat treatment and plasma-nitriding Ni- B electroless coatings was deposit on 4340 steel. After procees coating, samples were in percentage hydrogen/nitrogen ratio (50%), temperature 400°C, at 4 hours compared with treatment. characterization by FESEM, XRD, microhardness, Corrosion Resistance surface roughness measurements. Microh...

An AlCoCrCuFeNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) coating was fabricated on a pure magnesium substrate using a two-step method, involving plasma spray processing and laser re-melting. After laser re-melting, the microporosity present in the as-sprayed coating was eliminated, and a dense surface layer was obtained. The microstructure of the laser-remelted layer exhibits an epitaxial growth of columnar de...

these days, most of the marine structures which are constructed and used in persian gulf, are made of st37 steel. due to oil and gas sources excavated, the number of these structures is constantly increasing. on the other hand, these types of structures are exposed to corrosive environments and it is seriously critical for these structures to be used for many years. coal tar epoxy (trade name),...

The structural and magnetic properties of nanostructured Fe 100-x Ni x -C (0<x<100) coatings produced by electroless plating with different carbohydrates as reducing agents have been investigated. phase-structural state the films was studied diffraction electron microscopy. concentration ranges FCC BCC phases existence in deposited were determined. surface morphology, saturation m...

The addition of magnesium to Aluminum alloys has become increasingly popular due their lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance properties. Our research on high-content Mg doped 90, Al-10 wt% alloy shown that coating it with electroless Ni-P codepositing nano-Al2O3 (0, 2.5, 5 7.5 wt%) can significantly improve its mechanical properties, wear & tear, even resistance. Ni-P-5 Al2O3...
