Pt-aluminide (PtAl) bond coat is used as a part of Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) system on Ni-base superalloy components in advanced gas turbine aeroengines. The thickness of B2-NiAl intermetallic based diffused coating ...

Here, we investigate the effect of high-pressure torsion (HPT), a severe plastic deformation process, on the mechanical properties, corrosion, and cytotoxicity of Mg-6Zn-0.2Ce alloy, a candidate material for bioresorbable ...

Bacterial colonization and biofilm formation on abiotic surfaces effectuate corrosion, fermentation, and infection resulting in tremendous economic and human losses each year. Aggravating the situation, new multi-drug ...

The bending of cantilevers is an alternate technique for the extraction of power-law creep parameters of materials. It has been shown earlier that in homogeneous systems showing tension-compression symmetry, digital image ...

The substantially higher strengths of nanocrystalline metals has been to attributed to the well-known Hall-Petch relationship σ= σ_o+k_HP d^(-1/2) where 𝜎 is the yield stress, 𝜎𝑜 is the lattice friction stress, 𝑑 is ...

Conventional metallic coatings are widely used for protection against corrosion. This study investigates the correlation between microstructure and corrosion properties in SnCr and CuCr electrodeposited coatings. The wide ...

Water is fundamental to human life, sustaining ecosystems, supporting livelihoods, and underpinning human well-being. Despite its importance, water scarcity is a growing global issue due to population growth, economic ...

The isolation of graphene in 2004 sparked a revolution in the study and applications of 2D nanomaterials in various disparate fields. Separation technology is no exception. 2D nanomaterials possess numerous desirable ...

Conventional metallic coatings such as Ni and Zn are extensively used in corrosion protection applications. In most studies on the corrosion behavior of metallic coatings, the emphasis is on correlating morphology and ...

Over the last two decades, printing of oxide semiconductors has received special attention due to its advantages such as low processing temperature, even at room temperature; high electron mobility; good transparency due ...
