Microscale interpretation of tribological phenomena in Ti/TiN soft-hard multilayer coatings on soft austenite steel substrates The mechanical and behavior physical vapor deposited substrate materials gains increasing interest due to economical environmental aspects - e.g. substitution steels by light-weight metals or polymers transport vehicles. Nevertheless, such require surface protection against wear contacts. Single layer hard at room temperature are brittle with a relatively poor...
The tribological protection of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites (CFC) is essential for broadening their use from structural to functional applications, e.g., linear bearings in mechanical engineering. However, wear resistance sliding and rolling contacts low. This work focusses on the possibility improving properties by application thin hard multi-layered coatings. Chromium nitride (CrN) single layer chromium-CrN multilayer coatings ~4 µm thickness, partly finished with a 1...
The paper presents research on coatings with advanced architecture, composed of a Cr/Cr 2 N ceramic/metal multilayer and graded carbon layers varying properties from Cr/a-C:H to a-C:N. microstructure the was analysed using transmission electron microscopy Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, mechanical were tested by nanoindentation, spherical indentation, scratch testing, tribological tests also conducted. proper selection subsequent in allowed high hardness fracture resistance be obtained as...
Abstract Long‐term placement of facial implants requires avoiding the formation fibrous tissue capsules around artificial material by creating osteoconductive properties surface. Most promising approach is deposition coatings made materials very similar to bone mineral components, that is, calcium phosphates such as hydroxyapatite (HAp). As part research work, an innovative, cost‐effective atmospheric pressure plasma (APPD) system was used a low‐temperature coating technology for generating...
Development of a new generation multilayer coatings as well microstructure understanding the mechanisms operating at smallest length scale (nano- and atomic-scale) during wear, opens an avenue for fabrication future high-tech functional surfaces. Coatings presented work were fabricated by pulsed laser deposition supported magnetron sputtering. Microstructure characterization has been performed on as-deposited after mechanical wear test. Thin foils detailed TEM observation cut directly from...
Formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI3)-based perovskite solar cells have gained immense popularity over the last few years within research community due to their incredible opto-electronic properties and record power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) achieved by cells. However, FAPbI3 is vulnerable phase transitions even at room temperature, which cause structural instability eventual device failure during operation. We performed post-treatment of surface with octyl ammonium (OAI) in order...
