In the present work, structural characteristics and tribological properties of the Ti-Al-Cr-(Si)-C-N nanocomposite films coated on the SPK 1.2080 tool steel byPVD technique have been investigated. The PVD coating process was carried out using Ti (Si) Al and CrAl cathodes at 150 A current, 40 V bias and (Ar)0.1(CH4)0.45(N2)0.45 gas mixture for 50 min. Evaluations were conducted by OM, FESEM, AFM...

The oxidation of Nb-silicide-based alloys is improved with Al, Cr, Ge or Sn addition(s). Depending on addition(s) and its(their) concentration(s), alloyed C14-AB₂ Laves and A15-A₃X phases can be stable in the microstructures of the alloys. In both phases, A is the transition metal(s), and B and X respectively can be Cr, Al, Ge, Si or Sn, and Al, Ge, Si or Sn. The alloying, creep and hardness of...

This licentiate thesis reports experimental and theoretical work on the high temperature mechanical properties and the thermal stability of cubic (c)-(Ti-Cr-Al)1-N1 coatings. It is demonstrated that it is possible to tailor and improve the properties of hard nitride coatings by different degrees of multicomponent alloying. When Cr is added to Ti-Al-N the coatings exhibit age hardening up to 100...

Hierarchical macro-mesoporous silica materials co-incorporated with Cr and Ti 12 (MM-Si-Cr-Ti) were directly synthesized by adopting close-packed array of polystyrene 13 microsphere as hard template for macropore through a simple soaking-calcination way, where 14 the Si/Ti ratio was fixed at 200 and Si/Cr ratio varied from 200-10. Ti specie is highly dispersed 15 in the porous matrix and Cr spe...

Silicon carbide grains of type X constitute ~1% of all presolar SiC grains found in primitive meteorites. These grains have N and Si excesses, mostly light C, high inferred Al/Al ratios, and evidence (from Ca and Ti excesses) for the initial presence of the short-lived radioisotopes Ti and V. These isotopic signatures clearly indicate an origin in the ejecta of Type II supernovae (SNe) and mate...

This paper studies the influence of different substrate materials on phase composition, microstructure, microhardness, and wear resistance Ni-Cr-B-Si-C-Ti-Al plasma spray coatings. Two types metals were studied – AISI 1045 steel Pig-P3 Si grey cast iron. It has been found that in as-coated condition surface layers have a composition γ-Ni, Cr23C6, γ-TiAl, TiN, α-Ti(N, O) substrate, α-Ti, Ni3B, C...
