Based on previous experiences, a full factorial plan was developed and tested through the Design of Experiments (DOE) methodology to find a relation between parameters and properties. After validating the setup and the significance of the three input process parameters, a statistical model for copper electrodeposition is presented; the latter takes into account the physical interaction of the graphene nanoplatelets (GNP). From the results, the GNP amount is able to modify the electrical resistance of the copper coating; in detail, the resistance passes from 0.0319 to 0.02 mΩ, allowing a reduction of about 35% at the highest GNP content. Furthermore, an optimization following the new experimental model to decrease the electrical resistance of the graphene-based coating is presented.

An equivalent circuit of the second-order nonlinear structure can be proposed from the transient load waveform and the arc image recorded during pulsed bipolar PEO treatment. The transfer function of the linear part of the model was derived from Kirchhoff's law and Laplace's transformation rule; the nonlinear part of the model was fitted using Fitting Theory. Then the calculation method of each element value was derived in the equivalent circuit. The characterisation results of the coating properties show that the changes of different element values by the equivalent circuit can reflect the changes in coating thickness, coating density and discharge intensity. The relationship between the values of several elements and the microstructure of the coating is analysed comprehensively; a prediction method for the corrosion resistance of the coating is provided.","PeriodicalId":21995,"journal":{"name":"Surface Engineering","volume":"39 1","pages":"112 - 124"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43927104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The wear properties were compared on a ball-on-disc tribometer with and without a coated specimen. The bearing tests were performed in contaminated and clean lubrication conditions to prove the coating’s effect on bearing life in surface distress conditions. Results show that coated roller bearings perform at least two times that of the standard bearing.

For this reason, the reactivity and corresponding surface chemistry of stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric single crystals of titanium dioxide have been widely studied. In Part II of this review, special attention is paid to the role of individual surface sites and the effect of available charge on the adsorption processes on stoichiometric and reduced single crystal rutile and anatase surfaces. In addition, the most appropriate surface science methods used to study the surface chemistry of these surfaces are also highlighted. An understanding of the interaction of H2O and O2 with oxide surfaces is extremely important because these adsorbates form a de facto part of the environment in all technological applications. Moreover, they play an extraordinarily important role in the processes taking place in high-performance devices in the fields of energy, environment, and health. Consequently, special consideration is given to the adsorption and dissociation processes of the most technologically important inorganic adsorbates, such as H2O and O2, on model low Miller index single crystal surfaces of titania. In addition, light-induced reactivity of TiO2 and its application is also considered. Furthermore, the engineering of TiO2 nanocrystals with well-defined facets, their unusual photocatalytic properties, and applications are also briefly considered.","PeriodicalId":21995,"journal":{"name":"Surface Engineering","volume":"38 1","pages":"846 - 906"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2022-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43336186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
