Microstructural modeling of adaptive nanocomposite coatings for durability and wear

Nanoscale design of adaptive tribological coatings for gold–ytrium based nanocomposites

“…To further understand how grain size would affect behaviour for the nanocomposite coatings, a specialised finite element technique [23][24][25] was employed to represent the coating microstructure using two-dimensional Voronoi tessellations of the Au, MoS 2 and YSZ constituents in the form of inclusions separated by the DLC matrix phase (Fig. 6).…”

Defect Accumulation in Nanoporous Wear-Resistant Coatings Under Collective Recrystallization. Simulation by Hybrid Cellular Automaton Method

“…Recent years have witnessed the works on modeling of either behavior of wear resistant and heat-proof coatings under mechanical loading [8,9], or the process of their creation [10][11]. The majority of them is dedicated to the investigation of titanium-aluminum alloys.…”

Synthesis and properties of ceramic-based nanocomposite layer of aluminum carbide embedded with oriented carbon nanotubes

“…In the case of mechanical properties, however, the friction and wear resistance of nanocomposite coatings, modified by embedding some hard nanoparticles [18][19][20] but application of self-lubricant and oriented nanocomposite coatings can be of interest, especially for ceramic based nanocomposite coatings, which seems to have been studied less than other types of nanocomposite coatings. So in the present work, our main www.elsevier.com/locate/ceramint attempt was to fabricate of aluminum carbide matrix nanocomposite coatings containing carbon nanotubes (CNT) with an average diameter of 54 nm.…”
