Diffusion carbide layers produced on steel surface in vacuum titanizing process have been investigated. Studies of layers thickness, their morphology, titanium, carbon, chromium and iron concentration depth profiles in the diffusion zone of titanized layers have been carried out. The effect of process parameters such as time and temperature on the kinetics of layer growth on steel surface has been investigated. Wear resistance of titanized layers has been determined.

The paper presents the results of examinations of the structure and properties of duplex layers of the CrC+(Co-W) type, produced in a vacuum chromizing process on a tool steel surface covered with Co-W electrolytic alloy. A comparison of the CrC+(Co-W) type duplex layers with the CrC type single carbide layers, produced in vacuum chromizing process, were performed. Studies of layers thickness, their hardness, structure, and concentration depth profiles of elements in the diffusion zone of these layers were carried out. Tribological properties of the layers and corrosion resistance were determined. It has been proven that the wear resistance by friction of the CrC+(Co-W) type duplex layers, produced by means vacuum chromizing of tool steel covered with Co-W alloy electrolytic coating, is as good as single carbide layers of the CrC type, but their corrosion resistance is higher.

A new technological processes combining a vacuum titanizing with a preliminary electrolytic deposition of Co-W alloy on the tool steel surface have been proposed to increase the corrosion resistance of carbide layers of TiC type. As a result, duplex layers of TiC+(Co-W) type on the steel surfaces have been obtained. It has been proved, that the wear resistance by friction of these duplex layers, produced by means vacuum titanizing of steel covered with electrolytic coating, is such good as the TiC carbide layers, produced on the steel surface without electrolytic coating, but their corrosion resistance is higher.

The objective of the research in this work was the modification of the structure of chromized carbide layers on a bearing steel surface by the combination of diffusion chromizing with subsequent treatment, chromium nitride deposition by the PVD method, carried out to improve their tribological properties. As a result, CrC+CrN type hybrid layers on the surface of bearing steel were obtained. For comparison, the properties of single chromized carbide layers produced on a bearing steel surface in diffusion chromizing by the pack powder method were tested. Investigations of the layers’ microstructures, phase composition, depth profiles of elements in the layer diffusion zone, and hardness were carried out. Tribological properties (linear wear) of the layers were performed by means of taper-three rolls tests. It has been proved, that the resistance to abrasive wear of the CrC+CrN type hybrid layers is almost two times higher than that for single CrC carbide layers.

Automating sheet steel visual inspection can improve quality and reduce costs during its production. While many manufacturers still rely on manual or traditional inspection methods, deep learning-based approaches have proven their efficiency. In this paper, we go beyond the state-of-the-art in this domain by proposing a multi-task model that performs both pixel-based defect segmentation and severity estimation of the defects in one two-branch network. Additionally, we show how incorporation of the production process parameters improves the model’s performance. After manually constructing a real-life industrial dataset, we first implemented and trained two single-task models performing the defect segmentation and severity estimation tasks separately. Next, we compared this to a multi-task model that simultaneously performs the two tasks at hand. By combining the tasks into one model, both segmentation tasks improved by 2.5% and 3% mIoU, respectively. In the next step, we extended the multi-task model using sensor fusion with process parameters. We demonstrate that the incorporation of the process parameters resulted in a further mIoU increase of 6.8% and 2.9% for the defect segmentation and severity estimation tasks, respectively.

The selection of electroless nickel-phosphorus plating (ENP) has been inclined towards their properties and advantages with complex geometry applications. These properties include coating uniformity, low surface roughness, low wettability, high hardness, lubricity, and corrosion- and wear-resistance. Materials used in geothermal environments are exposed to harsh conditions such as high loads, temperature, and corrosive fluids, causing corrosion, scaling, erosion and wear of components. To improve the corrosion- and wear-resistance and anti-scaling properties of materials for geothermal environment, a ENP duplex coating with PTFE nanoparticles was developed and deposited on mild steel within the H2020 EU Geo-Coat project. ENP thin adhesive layer and ENP+PTFE top functional layer form the duplex structure of the coating. The objective of this study was to test the mechanical and tribological properties of the developed ENP-PTFE coatings with varying PTFE content. The microstructural, mechanical and tribological properties of the as-deposited coating with increasing PTFE content in the top functional layer in the order: ENP1, ENP2 and ENP3 were evaluated. The results showed maximum wear protection of the substrates at the lowest load; however, increasing load and sliding cycles increased the wear rates, and 79% increased lubrication was recorded for the ENP2 duplex coating. The wear performance of ENP3 greatly improved with a wear resistance of 8.3 × 104 m/mm3 compared to 6.9 × 104 m/mm3 for ENP2 and 2.1 × 104 m/mm3 for ENP1. The results are applicable in developing low friction, hydrophobic or wear-resistive surfaces for geothermal application.

ABSTRACTClose-spaced isothermal vapor phase epitaxy (VPE) was used to grow quaternary Hg1−x−yCdxZnyTe epillayers on Cd1−zZnzTe substrates. Composition, resistivity, and carrier concentration depth profiles were determined in the epilayers. p-n junctions were produced from material with appropriate properties using the Hg diffusion method. The junctions showed excellent I-V characteristics and high spectral detectivities.

Paper presents the results of the growth rate of the interaction layer of uranium-molybdenum dispersed fuel in aluminum matrix and influence of silicon alloying on it. The growth process of amorphous interaction layer depends on the radiation diffusion which is proportional to the fission rate in the power of 1⁄4. The alloying of the matrix by silicon does not lead to a change in the mechanism and kinetics of the interaction layer growth, but only slows it down.

We studied the heat resistance of AuTiBx (ZrBx) barrier contacts to n-SiC 6H and n-GaN. The Schottky barrier diode (SBD) parameters, the concentration depth profiles for contact structure components and the phase composition of contact metallization were measured both before and after rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at temperatures up to 900 °С (1000 °С) for contacts to GaN (SiC 6H). It is shown that the layered structure of metallization and electrophysical properties of Schottky barriers (SBs) remain stable after RTA, thus indicating their heat resistance. The ideality factor n of the I-V characteristic of SBDs after RTA was 1.2, while the SB height φВ was ~0.9 eV (~0.8 eV) for the gallium nitride (silicon carbide) barrier structures.
