Surface properties of the material can affect efficiency and behavior when in service. Modifying tuning these surface to meet specific demand for better performance is feasible has been vastly employed a different aspect life. This be achieved by coating via deposition thin film. study provides review existing literature techniques used modification coating. The two major areas interest discussed are physical chemical vapor techniques, area applications was briefly highlighted this report.
Plastics are the most utilized materials for product packaging in manufacturing industries, from electronics to food and fashion accessories. However, numerous challenges surround plastics because of their non-biodegradability, which poses a severe threat environment. This study has uncovered possibilities replacing discouraging use products. A few scholarly articles have successfully proven that biopolymers valuable polymers obtained plant-based organic better Unlike plastics, biocompatible...
Pure aluminium thin films were deposited on stainless and mild steel substrates through rf magnetron sputtering at powers of 150 200 W. Surface analysis the was undertaken using atomic force microscopy. The surface structure evolution, roughness distribution examined discussed. Power spectral density, skewness Kurtosis parameters used to explain nature structures as reported from line profile analyses. result shows that morphologies Al vary with power substrate type. coatings also exhibited...
The effect of ZrB2-Si3N4 particle reinforcement on the tribological behavior and microstructure AA8011 alloy has been studied. particles were varied from 0 wt% to 20 with an interval 5 wt%. Dry sliding pin-on-disc tests at a room temperature condition conducted investigate wear performances aluminium alloy/ composites. varying loads, 40 N. results depicted that rates alloy/ZrB2-Si3N4 composites are lower than further decreases increasing content, Also, friction coefficient matrix is higher...
Solar and wind power systems have been prime solutions to the challenges centered on reliable supply, sustainability, energy costs for several years. However, there are still various in these renewable industries, especially regarding limited peak periods. Solar–wind hybrid technology introduced mitigate setbacks has significant drawbacks suffers from low adoption rates many geographies. Hence, it is essential investigate faced with technologies analyze viable proposed. This work examined...
