Low temperature nitriding of iron by alternating current pretreatment

Enhanced anodization growth of self-organized ZrO2 nanotubes on nanostructured zirconium

“…Surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) has been proven to be an effective approach to obtain a nanocrystalline structure in the surface layer of a bulk metal [21][22][23][24]. More importantly, it has been reported that nitriding of the SMATed carbon steel [21,24] and SMATed iron [22,23] with the nanostructured surface layer could be greatly enhanced.…”

Effect of nanostructured titanium on anodization growth of self-organized TiO2nanotubes

“…Surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) has been proven to be an effective approach to obtain a nanocrystalline structure in the surface layer of a bulk metal [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. More importantly, it has been reported that nitriding of the SMATed iron [16,18] and SMATed carbon steel [17,19] with the nanostructured surface layer could be greatly enhanced.…”

Although some works such as [13][14][15] revealed that electropolishing and pre-anodization of Ti could influence the morphology of the formed TiO 2 nanotubes, up to now no work has involved the effect of Ti substrate structure, such as grain size and crystal defects, on the anodization formation of TiO 2 nanotubes.…”

Mathematical modelling of heat exchange between the coating sprayed by explosion and the surface

“…At present, renewing parts as well as manufacturing new machines, various coatings are widely used [1][2][3][4]. Thermal spraying is a family of coating deposition processes in which molten, semi-molten or solid particles are deposited onto a substrate.…”
