Spark plasma sintering technique is used for the fabrication of dense materials with a fine-grained microstructure. In this process, a powder is placed into a graphite mold and a uniaxial pressure is applied by two graphite ...

Titanium nitride films were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering on Si (100) wafers, glass and Ti6Al4V substrates. The film deposition was carried out in a gas mixture of Ar and N2. The nitrogen content was varied ...

This research work presents a modelling strategy to analyse thermal conversion rates of two thermal wood modification processes based on time-temperature superposition method. It gathers in a single study different original ...

This study presents the plasma nitriding of Cr–Mo–V tool steel to protect it from environmental degradation. The steel samples after metallographic polishing were nitrided in the glow discharge plasma of N2 and H2 gas ...
