Mechanical properties of nickel-cobalt alloys (0-10% Co) electroformed with low internal stress in sulfamate-based solutions were investigated in as deposited and heat treated conditions. It was demonstrated that alloy properties can be modified by selecting deposition conditions and alloy composition. Recommendations on alloy selection are made based on application requirements. The higher str...

The morphology and composition of Ni–Sn Ni–Sn–TiO2 coatings have been studied by scanning electron microscopy energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. electrochemical behavior the obtained in a 3% NaCl solution has examined. influence inclusion titania coating on mechanical antibacterial properties revealed. Dependences incubation time exposure to UV radiation concentration living bacteria cells surfa...

Coatings are vital to protect and to increase the productivity of cutting tools in high speed and dry cutting applications. During the cutting operation the temperature may exceed 1000 oC it is therefore necessary that the coatings withstand high temperatures. A lot of development and research has been carried out during the last 30 years on finding new coating material systems providing enhanc...

The formation of nanostructured transition metal nitride coatings by introducing a small amount silver (Ag) content has been proven to be good strategy for enhancing the physical properties these materials. In this investigation, ZrN with different Ag contents were deposited on an AISI 316L substrate using DC reactive magnetron sputtering technique. influence chemical composition, morphology, a...

The environmentally friendly electrodeposition of iron‑carbon coatings with excellent mechanical properties is a promising alternative for the banned hazardous hard chrome coatings, but internal structure electrodeposits still matter debate. analysis microstructure and phase constitution challenging nanocrystalline which contain in addition to an essential amount carbon also oxygen hydrogen, un...
