“…There are not many refractory materials with both metallic and plasmonic characters that are suitable for thermo-photovoltaics and solar-thermal applications and that can replace the precious metals like silver and gold [ [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] ]. There is a renewed interest in titanium nitride (TiN) as a plasmonic metamaterial [ 4 , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] ] as a cathode material for energy storage [ [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] ] and catalysis [ [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] ]. The nanomechanical properties, surface defects and stoichiometry are crucial for the overall device functionality and reliability [ 5 , 6 , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] ].…”

“…Vacuum-based physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques such as sputtering [ 28 , 29 ], high-power impulse magnetron sputtering [ 24 ], pulsed laser deposition [ 30 , 31 ], and cathodic vacuum arc (CVA) deposition [ 32 ] have been widely used for synthesizing the TiN thin films. However, measuring the local properties of metal-nitrides is a daunting task as the inert nature of the nitrogen molecules and the undesirable formation of oxides can lead to nanoscopic inhomogeneities in mechanical properties [ [33] , [34] , [35] ]. The nanoindentation technique can be a promising method to investigate the nanomechanical properties [ 36 ].…”

“…Films nitride as NbN (Glowacka et al , 2014), ZrN (Abdallah et al , 2013; Wang et al , 2010), TiN (Abdallah et al , 2019, 2021a) and CrN (Zalnezhad et al , 2013) have attractive tribological manners/behaviors, elevated hardness, good quality wear, good thermal stability and resistance of corrosion. Also, they can be used in higher temperature and corrosive environments.…”

Purpose Niobium Nitride (NbN) was interesting material for its applications in the medicinal tools or tools field (corresponding to saline serum media) as well as in mechanical properties. The aim of this work was depositing NbN thin films on two types of substrates (stainless steel (SS304) and silicon (100)) using plasma technique at varied powers (100–150 W). Design/methodology/approach DC magnetron sputtering technique at different powers were used to synthesis NbN films. Film structure was studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern. Rutherford elastic backscattering and energy dispersive X-ray were used to examine the deposited film composition. The films morphology was studied via atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy images. Corrosion resistance of the three NbN/SS304 films was studied in 0.9% NaCl environment (physiological standard saline). Findings All properties could be controlled by the modification of DC power, where the crystallinity of samples was changed and consequently the corrosion and microhardness were modified, which correlated with the power. NbN film deposited at higher power (150 W) has shown better corrosion resistance (0.9% NaCl), which had smaller grain size (smoother) and was thicker. Originality/value The NbN films have a preferred orientation (111) matching to cubic structure phase. Corrosion resistance was enhanced for the NbN films compared to SS304 substrates (noncoating). Therefore, NbN films deposited on SS304 substrate could be applied as medicinal tools as well as in mechanical fields.

“…Naturally, this mineral undergoes electrochemical reactions (also called corrosion reactions) with surrounding areas to form dynamically stable products – rust. This phenomenon is serious and very challenging in various industries (Cen et al , 2019; Rana et al , 2017; Abdallah et al , 2021a).…”

Purpose The low carbon steel used in industrial water conveying pipes in the Dora refinery is corroded. This study aims to reduce corrosion rate in these pipes by using green inhibitor extracted from dill plant. This inhibitor is sustainable environmentally. Design/methodology/approach The inhibitor extracted from the dill plant was added at different temperatures (25, 40, 60 and 80°C) and at a fixed concentration of 1,400 ppm, as the best protection was obtained at this concentration. The study was carried out under the same conditions using a polarization technique and scanning electron microscope. Findings From the results obtained from the polarization curves, it was found that the inhibition efficiency was 92.12% at a concentration of 1,400 ppm and a temperature of 20°C. Potentiodynamic curves showed that both cathodic and anodic reactions were affected by the addition of the inhibitor, indicating that the used inhibitor acted as a mixed type inhibitor, which means that the addition of these inhibitors to the industrial water reduced the anodic dissolution of iron and also retarded the cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction. This reveals that the inhibition mechanism is of the mixed type with a predominant anodic reaction. The results of the fourier transform infrared test indicated that the dill plant contained different chemical bonds (C–H, C = O, S = O, N–O and C–N) that were included in the construction of the barrier layer to protect the steel surface from corrosion. Originality/value The dill plant is abundant in nature, its cost is low and its extraction is very easy. It can be used as an environmentally friendly inhibitor to reduce the rate of corrosion in water-carrying pipes used in oil refineries because it contains effective groups (aromatic rings) that combine with metal atoms to form strong bonds that stick to the surface of the metal, which protect it from the attack of the corrosive medium.
