Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The use of coatings is becoming increasingly widespread. Initially used to increase the service life of cutting tools, they are now used in practically all areas of science and technology. They are successfully employed in vehicle components, medical technology and in general industry. Progress in the field of coating and their application technology not only increases the service life of components but also reduces the operating costs of technical facilities. Thin anti-wear coatings make it possible to produce machine and equipment parts with increasingly better properties and a low friction coefficient, which translates directly into operational safety. Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to present current research results on the practical applications of coatings in industry and means of transport.

In particular, the topic of interest includes but is not limited to:

  • Coatings in means of road, rail, air and sea transport;
  • Coatings in cosmonautics;
  • Coatings in medical engineering;
  • Coatings in food processing and packaging;
  • Coatings in the energy and fuel industry;

The coupled resonance mechanism of interface stratification of thin coating structures excited by horizontal shear waves is investigated by the forced vibration solution derived from the global matrix method, the integral transformation method, and the plane wave perturbation method. The interface shear stress reaches the peak at coupling resonance frequencies which are an inherent property of the structure, and decreases with the increase of coating thickness or the increase of shear wave velocity difference between the substrate and coating. At the coupling resonance frequency, the thin coating structure is more easily stratified at the interface. The result could provide a theoretical basis for the popularization and application of ultrasonic deicing/defrosting/de-accretion technology. Full article

In this study, Ti/Cu multilayer film was deposited by magnetron sputtering and then nitrided at 800 and 900 °C in N2. The microstructure and wear performance were studied. The deposited Ti/Cu multilayer film mainly consisted of Ti and Cu phases. After nitriding, the film mainly consisted of Cu4Ti3, CuTi, and TiN phases, indicating the interface reaction and nitriding reaction occurring. The surface microstructure of the Ti/Cu multilayer film became denser after nitridation. The wear resistance of the Ti/Cu multilayer film improved after nitriding. After nitriding at 900 °C for 2 h, the maximum wear track depth of the multilayer film was ~0.73 μm, which is just 65% of the deposited Ti/Cu multilayer film. The wear mechanism of the Ti/Cu multilayer film before and after nitriding was abrasive and adhesive wear. Full article

This paper presents the influence of production parameters and analysis of ZrC coatings production on Monel®400 substrate. The effects of laser beam power on the microstructure, chemical composition, corrosion resistance and on selected mechanical properties such as microhardness and wear resistance were investigated. The investigation consisted of the production of composite coatings using laser processing of pre-coatings made in paste form on a nickel based alloy (Monel®400). In the studies, a diode laser with a rated power of 3 kW was used. The laser processing was carried out using a constant laser beam scanning speed of 3 m/min and three different laser beam powers: 350, 450, 550 W. It was found that it is possible to form composite coatings on a nickel-copper alloy substrate, where the matrix is made of nickel-copper based alloy from substrate and the reinforcing phase is ZrC. Investigation was carried out for single and multiple laser tracks. Based on the studies it was found that reinforcing phase content decreased as laser beam power increased. A similar relationship was found for all the other investigated properties such as microhardness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. As laser beam power increases, the microhardness of the Ni-Cu-based matrix decreases. However, is still greater than for the Monel®400 substrate. It was found that the amount of hard carbide phases in the Ni-Cu-based matrix affects the corrosion and wear resistance of the coatings. Full article

Due to their excellent mechanical properties, Co-based alloys are one of the main candidates to replace Ni-based alloys in high temperature application. Knowledge about oxidation resistance of Co-based alloy MAR M-509 and the extent of its aluminizing on its oxidation resistance is limited. Therefore, in the present study, an aluminide layer was manufactured by low activity chemical vapor deposition (LA-CVD) on MAR M-509. Aluminized and uncoated alloys were investigated in terms of oxidation kinetics and oxidation resistance during isothermal and cyclic oxidation at 1000 and 1100 °C. Material in the as-cast and after exposure was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetry (TG) and glow-discharge optical emission spectrometry (GD-OES). Obtained results allowed for elucidating of degradation mechanism including nitridation process of carbides for MAR M-509. It was found that aluminizing of MAR M-509 significantly decreases its oxidation kinetics by the factor of 2.5 and 1.5 at 1000 and 1100 °C respectively. Moreover, the suppression of identified degradation mechanism in case of aluminized alloy was found until occurrence of breakaway oxidation of the aluminide layer. It was also proposed that further increase in oxidation resistance can be successively achieved by an increase in aluminide layer thickness. Full article

In this article, sample damage and wear of forced-in joints is presented, and their reliability evaluated. Compared were shafts without additional finish treatment, rolled shafts and those with a TiSiN coating. Tribological samples under investigation operated in rotational bending conditions. Recorded was the number of fatigue cycles at which damage might occur. Reliability indicators were plotted, which demonstrated that coated shafts are distinguished by the highest reliability and low damage intensity. Macroscopic observations of shaft surfaces demonstrated the traces of adhesive wear and, in the case of shafts without additional treatment and in the case of rolled shafts, fretting wear traces in the form of a ring comprising the entire shaft circumference. Microscopic observations showed numerous build-ups on the surface, microcracks, and the occurrence of wear products in the gap between the shaft and sleeve. The highest fatigue strength was demonstrated by shafts with a TiSiN coating. The shaft section change area was the place where fatigue wear occurred. Full article

The aim of this paper is to find an effective way to reduce the friction and wear of steel. CrCN coating was deposited on AISI 304 stainless steel by magnetron sputtering technology, and the friction and wear properties of the coating under glycerol lubrication were studied. The hardness of CrCN coatings on stainless steel surface can reach to 17.87 GPa when the carbon target deposition current is 2A. The CrCN coating presents low friction coefficient (COF) under the lubrication of glycerol, a highly efficient green lubricant. When the load is 0.5 N, the lowest friction coefficient is only 0.01. XPS analysis on the wear track suggested that glycerol decomposed during sliding and a fluid lubricating layer was formed, which provides ultralow friction. The paper shows that the glycerol could be used as an efficient lubricant for the CrCN coating. Full article
