“…However, the primary drawbacks of aluminum and its alloy-based powder coatings, which hinders their wider application, are its low wear resistance and mechanical properties. These shortcomings are addressed through the development of composite coatings that are achieved by reinforcing aluminum powders with ceramic microparticles such as SiC [5,6], Al 2 O 3 [7], B 4 C [8][9][10], ZrO 2 [11], diamonds [12], and nanoparticles such as B 4 C [10], TiB 2 [13], and nanodiamonds [14,15].…”
