Are coatings produced by ion-beam-assisted deposition superior? A comparison of chemical and mechanical properties of steel coated using different deposition techniques

Microstructure and corrosion resistance of the layers formed on the surface of precipitation hardenable plastic mold steel by plasma-nitriding

“…Increase in corrosion potential with an increase in nitriding time could be possibly attributed to an increase in the amount of nitrides formed at a higher nitriding temperature and time. A thicker and dense nitrided layer would always enhance the corrosion resistance [21]. The trend of corrosion potential in Fig.…”

Martensitic stainless steel modified by plasma nitrocarburizing at conventional temperature with and without rare earths addition

“…1. In the previous papers, Ensinger et al [25] proposed that a dense nitrided layer irrespective of the identity of the type of nitrides would always enhance corrosion resistance of steel. Bosso et al [26] recently also find that the microstructure has a significant influence on the corrosion behavior of the nitrocarburized steel.…”

Optical and electrical properties of Ti-doped In2O3 film deposited on flexible transparent substrates by ion beam assisted deposition under different oxygen flow rate

“…For solving the problems, the ion beam-assisted process is use, which can be controlled the oxygen flow rate resulting in hardness and the coefficient of friction accumulates is decreased. Consequently, it has enhanced adhesion when using ion beam-assisted techniques 13,14 . For this reason, we are focusing on the ion beamassisted technique for ITiO film-coated PET substrates, which could be enhanced properties of transmittance and lower resistivity.…”
