Wear and corrosion properties of wollastonite and boron nitride doped,hydroxyapatite-based HAp-Wo-BN composite coatings prepared by pulsed laser deposition

In this study, hydroxyapatite-based hydroxyapatite-wollastonite-boron nitride (HAp-Wo-BN) composite film was formed on the surface of Ti6Al4V by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Based on a survey in scientific literature, it is presumed that this is the first time such a process is being undertaken. The wear and corrosion resistance of this film were analyzed comparatively in simulated body fluid (SBF) to simulate the human body environment. In the coating, HAp was used to form a bone-like layer, wollastonite was to enhance bone-tissue regeneration and BN was used for its bone-tissue healing and anti-bacterial properties. The results showed that the wear as well as the corrosion resistance of all samples after PLD treatment increased. Relatively the best wear resistance was achieved from boron nitride and wollastonite doped hydroxyapatite layers, where the best corrosion resistance was from the ones that consisted of only hydroxyapatite.     

Complex study of protective Cr3C2–NiAl coatings deposited by vacuum electro-spark alloying,pulsed cathodic arc evaporation,magnetron sputtering,and hybrid technology

Coatings were obtained by vacuum electro-spark alloying (VESA), pulsed cathodic arc evaporation (PCAE), magnetron sputtering (MS) techniques and VESA-PCAE-MS hybrid technology using Cr₃C₂–NiAl electrodes. The structure of the coatings was analyzed using scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. Mechanical properties were determined by nanoindentation, while tribological properties were assessed using pin-on-disk tribometer. Corrosion resistance was estimated by voltammetry in 1 N H₂SO₄ and 3.5%NaCl solutions. Oxidation resistance tests were performed at 800°С in air. The VESA coating had the highest thickness, low friction coefficient and high wear resistance. PCAE coating demonstrated the highest hardness (24 GPa) and elastic recovery (59%), oxidation resistance and superior corrosion resistance both in 1 N H₂SO₄ (i_corr = 70 μА/cm²) and 3.5%NaCl (i_corr = 0.74 μА/cm²) solutions. The MS coating had average mechanical properties and low corrosion current density (71 μА/cm²) in 1 N H₂SO₄. Deposition of coatings using VESA-PCAE-MS hybrid technology led to an increase in corrosion and oxidation resistance at least by 1.5 times in comparison with the VESA coating.     

Realization of 1 μm thick,crack-free and smooth PMN-PT film in the MPB through PLD: A comprehensive study

This paper presents a comprehensive study on the various hurdles and solutions in the realization of phase pure, pinhole-free and crack-free, 0.65PMN-0.35PT/LSCO/Pt/TiO₂/SiO₂/Si heterostructures using pulsed laser deposition. A few major inquiries were i) effect of excess PbO in the target, ii) modulation of deposition and annealing temperatures for the growth of LSCO buffer layer, iii) thickness of the buffer layer iv) effect of the flow of oxygen in the chamber during and after deposition and v) the annealing conditions; on the phase formation, morphology and leakage response demonstrated by the films. Ferroelectric response parameters viz. P_sat = 47.7 μC/cm², P_r = 20.03 μC/cm², E_C = 62.03 kV/cm and absolute area = 21460 units attest the quality of the grown film.

This paper summarizes the basics of pulsed thermal nondestructive testing (TNDT) including theoretical solutions, data processing algorithms and practical implementation. Typical defects are discussed along with 1D analytical and multi-dimensional numerical solutions. Special emphasis is focused on defect characterization by the use of inverse solutions. A list of TNDT terms is provided. Applications of active TNDT, mainly in the aerospace industry, are discussed briefly, and some trends in the further development of this technique are described.     

Micro-RBS characterisation of the chemical composition and particulate deposition on pulsed laser deposited Si1−xGex thin films

The formation and deposition of particulates by pulsed laser deposition of Si_1−xGe_x semiconductor alloy thin films are discussed. Using Rutherford backscattering spectrometry with micrometer lateral resolution (micro-RBS) the film composition was measured with high accuracy, even in the presence of particulates with a high areal density of 20,000–30,000 particulates per mm². We show that on impact of a particulate, the part of the thin film which is already deposited probably melts and its Ge content segregates to the surface.

Influence of the deposition atmosphere on the characteristics of Pd–Mg thin films prepared by pulsed laser deposition

Bilayered palladium (30 nm thick)–magnesium (350 nm thick) thin films were prepared using the pulsed laser deposition technique in the presence of various background gases (Ar, He and a mixture He + H₂) under different partial pressures (47 and 27 Pa). According to the deposition atmosphere, the Pd/Mg interface shows either a sharp or an extended transition. The electrochemical hydriding properties and the mechanical stability upon cycling of the Pd/Mg film are greatly improved when an extended «intermixing» zone between the Pd and Mg layers is present. The Pd–Mg films prepared under pure helium fulfill these conditions.     

Treatment of slices from carrot (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Daucus carota</Emphasis>) using high intensity white pulsed light

Experiments with washing of carrot slices using distilled water and 0.9% (w/w) NaCl in combination with varying number and pulses of high intensity white were carried out. Slices of carrot 3.5 cm in diameter and 2 mm thick were inoculated using diluted dispersions of yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) for varying time (0–240 min) and then the slices were treated with high intensity pulsed white light (one pulse = 0.7 J/cm²) using from none to 24 pulses. The major part of the yeast cells were killed using two pulses of light. The studies included washing of inoculated slices up to five times using salt 0.9% (w/w) NaCl and distilled water and inoculation at 22 °C for between 5 and 120 min. It was concluded that treatment of carrot slices with high intensity white light may reduce the load of yeast cells with up to 6 log cycles. Inoculation time at 22 °C had no effect on the maximum load of yeast cells.
