Researchers have extensively investigated 2D nanomaterials of TMN owing to its superior chemical and physical characteristics and numerous potential uses. Research on the synthesis of TMNs was insufficient and remained stagnant. Here, we alter precursor types and substrates and develop three CVD procedures for synthesizing TMN. High-quality signal-crystal MoN nanoflakes were synthesized using sodium molybdate precursors. The same growth conditions directly induced the formation of Mo5N6 nanofilms on sapphire substrate. We synthesized large-area MoN nanofilms on silicon substrates by conducting a nitrogen substitution reaction on MoS2 nanofilms. MoS2 serves as the precursor for MoN nanofilms synthesis via nitridation. MoN's characteristic peak at 143.34 cm−1 was located using Raman spectroscopy. We obtained epitaxial growth of Mo5N6 nanofilms at low pressure (66 cm Hg) on a sapphire substrate. Mo5N6 nanofilms exhibited a distinctive Raman spectroscopy signal at 154.03 cm−1. In anticipation of its prospective applications, we assessed the electrical properties of Mo5N6 nanofilms. Additionally, the resistivity of Mo5N6 was found to be 1.555*10−5 Ωcm. Large-area 2D nanomaterials, such as Mo5N6, have the potential to be employed as graphene or other semimetal materials in the electronic device industry, as evidenced by the temperature dependency of the conductivity test.

To improve the oxidation resistance of C/C composites, a SiCNWs-reinforced SiC (SiCNWs-SiC) coating was successfully fabricated in-situ by a simple chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process on C/C composites. Microstructural analysis revealed uniform β-SiCNWs with diameters of 50–200 nm and lengths up to tens of micrometers. The thickness of porous SiCNWs layer is approximately 300 μm. Elevated deposition temperatures deteriorated coating density, with optimal performance at 1373 K. The SiCNWs enhanced deposition efficiency, boosting bending strength from 107.2 MPa to 134.3 MPa and adhesion strength from 6.74 MPa to 14.18 MPa. Oxidation resistance tests at various temperatures confirmed superior performance of SiCNWs-toughened SiC coatings. Thermal shock tests showed minimal weight loss (2.5 %) after 30 cycles, outperforming pure SiC coatings (6.2 %). The 1873 K gas erosion test showed that the weight loss of the SiCNWs-SiC coated C/C samples was only 5.2 % for 53 h, while the pure CVD-SiC coated C/C composite samples broke after 19 h of gas erosion, and the weight loss of pure C/C composite samples reached as high as 38.5 % after 1.3 h of gas erosion.

In this work, we demonstrate epitaxial growth of multiprincipal-element alloy TiZrNbTa nitride thin films at substrate temperature below 50 °C. They were deposited on c-plane sapphire substrates by reactive high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) without external heating. Reference layers were also grown by direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS) at 400 °C as well as without external heating on the same type of substrates. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analysis showed single phase films, with the HiPIMS films having a reduced mosaicity along both in-plane and out-of-plane orientations as compared to the DCMS layers grown at 400 °C. The optical and electrical properties determined by spectroscopic ellipsometry and room-temperature four-point probe measurements showed that the HiPIMS films exhibit higher absorbance in the near-infrared wavelength and higher electrical resistivity than the DCMS films deposited at 400 °C. Furthermore, ion-beam analysis of the HiPIMS grown films revealed nitrogen-to-metal ratio close to unity. This study shows that epitaxial film growth of multiprincipal-element nitrides can be realized without the need of intentional substrate heating provided that the growing film surface is irradiated by metal ions. This reduces the total process energy consumption by ~50 % (as compared to DCMS film at 400 °C) with the added benefit of possibility to grow film on temperature-sensitive substrates.

Using a modified Si-Al deposition strategy in the process of halide-activated pack cementation, conventional and novel Mo(Si,Al)2 coatings are fabricated on molybdenum substrate to assess their distinct formation mechanism and oxidation performance. The results show that the conventional coatings are composed of an inner layer containing pure C11b MoSi2 and an outer layer containing C11b MoSi2 with a little Al. By contrast, the new coating is composed of pure C22 Al8Mo3 as the inner layer and C40 Mo(Si,Al)2 as the outer layer (unexpectedly low Al percentage of 13 at.%). Notably, the two kinds of coatings have different microstructures and formation characteristics. The former's synthesis pathway includes the sequential formation of C22 Al8Mo3, C40 Mo(Si,Al)2, and C11b MoSi2, accompanied by a reduction in the proportion of solidified Al in Mo(Si,Al)2. The latter's synthesis path includes the transformation from C11b MoSi2 to C40 Mo(Si,Al)2, and the Al content is always maintained at the highest level with the coating growth. Meanwhile, the phase transition between Al8Mo3 and Mo(Si,Al)2 is an irreversible process and neither coating forms the C54 structure of Mo(Si,Al)2 due to the low temperature. Besides, the different oxidation mechanisms are elucidated on basic of the two deposition procedures and corresponding to oxidation performance. Hence, the newly developed Mo(Si,Al)2 coating of first silicon and then aluminum in the process of pack-cementation can be effectively used to fabricate a protective α-Al2O3 barrier layer at a temperature of 1300 °C.

One of the biggest players in the world economy is the naval industry, which mainly controls the merchandise transportation sector. Any issue with ships could represent millions of USD of loss and increases in the cost of goods for the population worldwide. Two main problems which this industry has fought are corrosion and biofouling. Lastly, the pollution of the sea has gained importance, and more strict policies have been applied regarding the use of certain products by this industry. One of these is paintings, which represented this industry's definitive solution to avoid the mentioned problems for a long time. This situation allowed to explore other solutions like PVD coatings through multifunctional coatings. Zirconium nitride has been demonstrated to be useful in resisting corrosion with reliable mechanical properties. However, this material does not possess antimicrobial action. The present study presents a nanostructured coating combining ZrN with Cu, which works as a biocide, contributing to the desired multifunctionality. The developed coating was obtained using a hybrid magnetron co-sputtering employing High-power impulse (HiPIMS) and direct current (DCMS) power sources under a reactive atmosphere. SEM, EDX, XRD and Raman spectroscopy were used to assess the physico-chemical properties of the coatings. Besides, depth-sensing nano-indentation explored the mechanical properties. The tribological performance was tested by a reciprocating tribometer under dry and wet (with 3.5 % w/w NaCl solution) contact conditions and employing a soda lime glass ball as a counterbody. The results showed that adding Cu to ZrN through this technology resulted in a limited hardness reduction from 19 (pure ZrN) to 14 GPa. Also, the chemical activation with NaOCl solution softens the obtained coating and, together with the saline solution, influences the wear resistance. However, the nanostructured coating has been demonstrated to be suitable for use under real conditions, without loss of its protection over the used substrate. It opens a new possibility of a solution for the naval industry.

The effect of a Sb micro addition on the reactive wetting of Fe-(2−10)Mn-(0.00/0.03)Sb (at. pct) by a Zn(Al,Fe) galvanizing bath was determined. Despite the presence of surface oxides prior to immersion, an integral zinc coating was obtained on all Fe-Mn-Sb steel substrates. It was found that Sb segregation at the external oxide/substrate interface resulted in a decrease in the size of the external oxide particles, which facilitated contact between the Zn bath and the substrate. Moreover, it was determined the size of the closely packed FeAl intermetallics at the coating/steel interface increased as a result of adding Sb to the steel, which was attributed to the finer and thinner external oxide particles formed on the surface of these steel prior to dipping and lower stability of the oxide/substrate interface, which allowed for facilitating the advancement of reactive wetting occurred through mechanisms such as the aluminothermic reduction of MnO, oxide bridging, and oxide lift-off. In addition, a mechanism for the efficacy of Sb as a surface-active element during the continuous galvanizing process was determined. The analysis revealed that the segregated Sb dissolved into the liquid Zn and disrupted the oxide bond with the substrate. This can be attributed to Sb higher electronegativity with Zn compared to Fe and its sufficient solubility in liquid Zn at 460 °C. After the formation of the desired interfacial layer, no Sb segregation was observed at the interface between the interfacial layer and the substrate. These results highlight the considerable advantages of applying a Sb micro-addition for enhancing the reactive wetting of AHSSs with higher Mn contents in the continuous galvanizing process.

This study integrates graphene-based nanostructures as reinforcement in a Ti matrix to produce coatings using the Cold Gas Spray (CGS) technique, aiming to enhance mechanical and tribological properties while overcoming some of the limitations of conventional thermal spray methods. The hypothesis holds that incorporating Carbon Nanofibers (GFs) into Ti matrices significantly reinforces these properties compared to pure Ti coatings. The study employed ball milling for the powders obtaining, CGS deposition, and various analytical tests to evaluate the performance of Ti-GFs and pure Ti coatings. Results revealed that Ti-GFs coatings significantly improved in mechanical properties, achieving ultimate tensile strength up to 456 MPa and a strain increase to 2.27%. These improvements are attributed to effective load transfer across the Ti-GFs interfaces, facilitated by strong chemisorption interactions. Additionally, heat treatments at 1000 °C relieved residual stresses and promoted microstructural changes via atomic diffusion, further contributing to the coatings’ strength and ductility. Tribological assessments revealed a 21% reduction in the coefficient of friction for Ti-GFs coatings compared to as-sprayed Ti, though was 2% higher than that of Ti-Bulk. This suggests the potential of graphene as a nanoscale lubricant, though further optimization of GFs dispersion and interface interactions may result in even lower coefficient.
These findings highlight the potential of GFs reinforced metal matrix composites applied by CGS for critical applications in sectors such as aerospace and biomedical, which demand materials with high strength and reduced mechanical wear. The study also identifies key areas for future research, including the optimization of graphene dispersion and interface bonding, to fully exploit the benefits of GFs in CGS coatings.

This work deals with the effect of cooling rate on microstructure, dislocation density, and microhardness of laser direct energy deposited Inconel 718. Thermocycles were captured during direct energy deposition process using an infrared pyrometer. Cooling rate was estimated from the thermocycles at various laser powers and scanning speeds. In addition, a numerical model was developed to calculate cooling rate at different laser process parameters, and the same was verified with the experimental results. Microstructure and phases of the direct energy deposited Inconel 718 were observed using a scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffractometer, respectively. Top layer of the cladding was found to consist of fine equiaxed grains, whereas columnar dendrites were observed at the interface region of cladding layer and substrate. This is attributed to the variation in cooling rates between the top layer of the cladding and the interface region. γ, γ′, γ″ and Laves phases were identified to be the primary phases in the cladding layer. Moreover, niobium content was found to be high and varying with the cooling rate in the direct energy deposited Inconel 718. Dislocation density at varying scanning speed, i.e., cooling rate was estimated using the Williamson-Hall method. An increase in the dislocation density and concomitant improvement in the hardness was found with an increase in the cooling rate.

The deposition of tetragonal yttria-stabilized zirconia on β-(Ni,Pt)Al bondcoat was successfully achieved using suspension plasma spraying, resulting in various structures including columnar and vertical-cracked formations. This study aims to investigate the deposition mechanism of suspension plasma sprayed topcoats on β-(Ni,Pt)Al bondcoat by adjusting suspension characteristics and spraying distances. The results demonstrated that increasing ethanol contents gradually transitioned the structure from vertical-cracked to columnar. Moreover, the spraying distance effectively controlled the deposition rates, surface roughness, and porosity of the deposited topcoats. Additionally, both columnar and equiaxed crystals were uniformly distributed within the deposited topcoats, with a comprehensive discussion on their formation mechanisms.

To obtain compatible properties of high-temperature performance and mechanical strength properties, AlCoCrFeNiTi high-entropy alloy (HEA) was designed as a new candidate material for metal-based thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems. The aim of this study is to investigate potential applications of AlCoCrFeNiTi-HEA as a coating material for TBC systems and to determine its behavior under high temperature conditions. CoNiCrAlY bond coatings were produced on the Inconel-718 substrate surface using high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) technique. AlCoCrFeNiTi-HEAs were produced on CoNiCrAlY bond coatings using atmospheric plasma spray (APS) technique and a typical TBC system structure was obtained. The produced AlCoCrFeNiTi-HEA TBC system was exposed to oxidation at temperatures of 1000 °C and 1100 °C for time periods of 5 h, 25 h, 50 h and 100 h in order to determine the oxidation resistance under isothermal conditions and to investigate formation and growth behavior of oxide structures formed at the coating interface. As a result of oxidation tests, the growth behavior of the thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer formed between the coating interfaces and the microstructural changes occurring in the coating system were investigated depending on temperature and time processes. In the TBC system with Ti-containing HEA content, a transformation from body-centered cubic (BCC) structure to rhombohedral crystal lattice structure occurred as a result of increasing temperature. Many spinel compound forms were formed at the coating interface. It was observed that the coating system with AlCoCrFeNiTi-HEA content maintained its structural integrity without any damage such as microstructural and mechanical spalling and cracking under conditions of high temperature and different time periods.
