Control of the structural, mechanical and tribological properties TiCN films play an important role in its numerous applications, including cutting tools, components, aeronautical biomedical engineering industries. Direct-current magnetron sputtering (DCMS) system was applied to deposit onto n-type silicon (100) at room temperature. The Ti-TiN interlayer used enhance adhesive strength between c...

Abstract Moisture - in the form of water or ice – has adverse consequences on performance an aircraft including wing stall, tail loss thrust, engine flameout, and material damage arising from corrosion electrical shortcuts. During flight, a large flux supercooled droplets surface hybrid electric per unit time could result into icing. A prototype to detect accretion using acoustic emissions is d...
