This work studies the surface characteristics and, particularly, the rolling contact fatigue (RCF) behavior of austempered ductile iron (ADI) samples coated with TiN based coatings of about 1 μm in thickness. Films synthesized ...

This work studies the rolling contact fatigue (RCF) behavior of austempered ductile iron samples coated with Ti/TiN by cathodic arc deposition. The influence of the TiN layer thickness on the characteristics and RCF life ...

TiO2 thin films deposited by a vacuum arc on a glass substrate were characterized by X-ray reflectivity (XRR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Several thin ...

A simple method has been used to synthesize nanostructured La 0.5 Ba 0.5 CoO 3 (LBCO) powders, by confining chemical precursors into the pores of polycarbonate filters. The proposed method allows us to obtain powders formed ...

Among the many methods developed for the synthesis of titanium dioxide, cathodic electrosynthesis has not received much attention because the resulting amorphous oxy-hydroxide matrix demands a further thermal annealing ...

Nanostructured Ti films were obtained employing a cathodic arc with a straightmagnetic filter. The films were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron andatomic force microscopy. The films were found to be ...
