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...
Selective laser sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing process which nowadays receives abundant attention from industry sectors. However, the number of materials can be processed by SLS still very limited and requires further research. The present work aims to contribute this topic investigating mechanical properties neat short carbon fibre reinforced polyamide 1212 SLS. specimens were built in different spatial alignments obtain ample details on tensile behaviour. detailed...
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...
The aim of the current work is transfer multilayer design knowledge on Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) technique for industrially-scaled room-temperature growth titanium–titanium nitride (Ti–TiN) structures. Because almost all PVD and CVD coating techniques require substrate temperatures >200°C sufficiently adhering dense coatings, there high demand development large-area high-rate low-temperature vacuum deposition process like PLD, e.g. temperature-sensitive or shape-distortion-sensitive...
The development of the model multistep nanoindentation test with Berkovich indenter, accounting for residual stress distribution, is one aims present paper. specimen unloaded in intervals between deformation steps. Substrate, which composed a ferritic steel and biocompatible pulsed laser deposition TiN coating, considered. selection was inspired by its perspective application as coating constructional element heart prosthesis (blood chamber aortic valves).

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...
