Cobalt-based alloy coatings and WC-Co-based ceramic–metal (cermet) coatings have been widely used because of their desirable mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. In this work, the influence of Co content on the microstructure, mechanical properties and cavitation erosion (CE) resistance were investigated. A cobalt-based alloy coating, a WC-12Co coating, and a WC-17Co cermet coating were deposited by high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spraying on 1Cr18Ni9Ti substrates. Results indicate that the cobalt-based alloy coating had the largest surface roughness because surface-bonded particles of lower plastic deformation were flattened. The existence of WC particles had led to an increase in hardness and improved the fracture toughness due to inhibit crack propagation. The pore appeared at the interface between WC particles, and the matrix phase had introduced an increase in porosity. With the increase in Co content, the cohesion between matrix friction and WC particles increased and then decreased the porosity (from 0.99% to 0.84%) and surface roughness (Ra from 4.49 to 2.47 μm). It can be concluded that the hardness had decreased (from 1181 to 1120 HV0.3) with a decrease in WC hard phase content. On the contrary, the fracture toughness increased (from 4.57 to 4.64 MPa∙m1/2) due to higher energy absorption in the matrix phase. The WC-12Co and WC-17Co coatings with higher hardness and fracture toughness exhibited better CE resistance than the cobalt-based alloy coating, increasing more than 20% and 16%, respectively. Especially, the WC-12Co coating possessed the best CE resistance and is expected to be applicable in the hydraulic machineries.

Effect of Ti (C,N) based cermets granule on the microstructure, mechanical properties, sintering and fracture behavior of Ti (C,N) based cermets was investigated. Results show that the Ti (C,N) based cermets granules distribute in the matrix homogeneously. A nanoindentation study was performed on hard phase and binder phase in the matrix and granule. With the increase of granules content, sintering properties is worse. With the increase of granules content, transverse rupture strength (TRS) and relative density decrease gradually, while the hardness has an opposite trend. The fracture toughness increases firstly with increasing granule, and then decreases with the further increase of granules. Higher fracture toughness of the cermets is mainly owing to the crack branch and higher fracture energy of coarse granule.

There are many methods widely applied in the engineering of biomaterials to improve the mechanical properties of the dental composites. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of modification of dental composites with liquid rubber on their mechanical properties, degree of conversion, viscosity, and cytotoxicity. Both flow and packable composite consisted of a mixture of Bis-GMA, TEGDMA, UDMA, and EBADMA resins reinforced with 60 and 78 wt.% ceramic filler, respectively. It was demonstrated that liquid rubber addition significantly increased the fracture toughness by 9% for flow type and 8% for condensable composite. The influence of liquid rubber on flexural strength was not statistically significant. The addition of the toughening agent significantly reduced Young’s modulus by 7% and 9%, respectively, while increasing deformation at breakage. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations allowed to determine the mechanisms of toughening the composites reinforced with ceramic particles. These mechanisms included bridging the crack edges, blocking the crack tip by particles and dissipation of fracture energy by deflection of the cracks on larger particles. The degree of conversion increased after modification, mainly due to a decrease in the matrix resin viscosity. It was also shown that all dental materials were nontoxic according to ISO 10993-5, indicating that modified materials have great potential for commercialization and clinical applications.

Electroless Nickel-Phosphorus (ENi-P) coating is well-known in surface engineering techniques and is preferred in various mechanical, chemical and electronic industries view its extraordinary resistance to wear and corrosion. The paper summerizes the effect of surfactant on the mechanical properties of electroless Nickel-Phosphorus (Ni-P) alloy coating obtained from an acidic bath. The endeavor of this study is to analyse the influence of surfactant Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (ALS) concentration on the microhardness, surface roughness and wettability of ENi-P deposit on AZ91 Mg alloy substrate. It was observed that there was significant improvement in the rate of deposition, microhardness and wettability, along with reduction in surface roughness (Ra) by addition of ALS surfactant in the chemical bath.

Cavitation erosion tests of composite coatings based on vacuum fusion sintered cobalt alloy containing tungsten carbide particles were carried out in 30 percent HCl and 50 percent H2SO4 solutions. The technique used included an ultrasonic vibratory apparatus at 30°C, 25μm amplitude and 30 kHz frequency. Weight loss was measured with an analytical balance and the microstructure was observed with SEM. The test results showed that the cavitation erosion resistance of the composite coatings was increased by increasing the tungsten carbide content. The cavitation erosion is mainly caused by removal of the matrix material. The steady-state erosion rates have a linear relationship with the volume fraction of the tungsten carbide phase.

The mechanical properties of the matrix and the fiber/matrix interface have a relevant influence over the mechanical properties of a composite. In this work, a glass fiber-reinforced composite is manufactured using a carbon nanotubes (CNTs) doped epoxy matrix. The influence of the CNTs on the material mechanical behavior is evaluated on the resin, on the fiber/matrix interface, and on the composite. On resin, the incorporation of CNTs increased the hardness by 6% and decreased the fracture toughness by 17%. On the fiber/matrix interface, the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) increased by 22% for the nanoengineered composite (nFRC). The influence of the CNTs on the composite behavior was evaluated by through-thickness compression, short beam flexural, and intraply fracture tests. The compressive strength increased by 6% for the nFRC, attributed to the rise of the matrix hardness and the fiber/matrix IFSS. In contrast, the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) obtained from the short beam tests was reduced by 8% for the nFRC; this is attributed to the detriment of the matrix fracture toughness. The intraply fracture test showed no significant influence of the CNTs on the fracture energy; however, the failure mode changed from brittle to ductile in the presence of the CNTs.
