    <title language="eng">Effect of O2 flow rate on the structure, wettability and tribo-mechanical behaviour of Zr-O-N thin films</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Structural and tribo-mechanical properties of Zr-O-N films deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering in a mixture of Ar (flow rate = 80 sccm), N2 (flow rate = 20 sccm) and O2 with a varying flow rate of 0 to 12 sccm were investigated. The films were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray analysis, atomic force microscopy, nanoindentation and wear tests. Oxygen content have a significant effect on the microstructure, wettability, tribo-mechanical properties of Zr-O-N films. The Zr-O-N films showed a dense structure with a mixture of zirconium oxides and nitrides and the preferred orientation changed from (111) ZrN to (200) ZrN with increasing O2 flow rate. The ZrON film, deposited at an oxygen flow rate of 10 sccm exhibited the highest contact angle (147°), the highest hardness (27.1 GPa), the lowest friction coefficient (0.36) and the lowest wear rate (5.8 × 10−7 mm3.Nm−1). The improvement in the tribological performance of the ZrON film deposited at 10 sccm is attributed to the improved hardness and increased H/E and H3/E2 ratios, due to the formation of a hard solid solution by the diffusion of oxygen.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Experimental investigation of structural, wetting, mechanical and Tribological properties of TiZrN thin films deposited by magnetron sputtering</title>
    <abstract language="eng">TiZrN thin films were deposited on Si (100) wafers and XC100 steel substrates by reactive R.f. magnetron sputtering using titanium and zirconium targets in an Ar-N2 mixture atmosphere to evaluate the effect of varying Zr content (0 to 22.2 at.%), on the film structure, surface wettability, hardness and wear resistance. The presence of different phases such as TiN, ZrN, and ZrO2 were confirmed by XRD analysis. Results showed that, the lattice parameter and film thickness increased while the crystallite size and average roughness decreased with increasing Zr content. Total surface energy between the film surface and testing liquids decreased with the addition of Zr. TiZrN film containing 18.3 at.% of Zr showed the lowest surface energy of 38.7 mN/m, indicating its hydrophobicity. The nanoindentation measurements, friction and wear tests showed that the TiZrN thin film containing 18.3 at.% of Zr had the best tribo-mechanical performance. The TiZrN (18.3 at.% Zr) film exhibited the lowest friction coefficient (0.31), and the lowest wear rate (6.65 × 10−5 mm3/Nm), which corresponds to the highest H/E ∼ 0.139, and H3/E2 ∼ 0.49 GPa ratios. The improvement in the tribo-mechanical properties is attributed to the solid solution strengthening due to the incorporation of Zr atoms in TiN system, which results in the highest hardness of 25 GPa for TiZrN (18.3 at.% Zr) film.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Effect of He and N2 gas on the mechanical and tribological assessment of SS316L coating deposited by cold spraying process</title>
    <abstract language="eng">In this study, simulation and experimental methods were used to investigate the influence of cold spray conditions on AISI 316L stainless steel coatings. The effect of both helium and nitrogen gases used was investigated. The temperature, particle sizes of spraying powder, and distance from the nozzle throat to the impinging point were estimated by using the Kinetics Spray Solutions GmbH software. The 316L stainless steel (SS) coatings were examined by X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Microanalysis. The tribological behavior was evaluated under different loads (2 N and 5 N) in dry conditions. It was found that the nitrogen and helium propellant gas with high speed and fine particles led to produce good coatings with dense microstructures. From the nanoindentation experiments, the Young's modulus and hardness of the SS 316L samples were enhanced of about 8% with helium due to the high particle velocity. It was shown that the wear resistance of SS 316L produced with helium was higher than that of the standard SS 316L coatings. The coatings produced with helium revealed lower friction coefficient (0.65) and wear rate (6.9 × 10–4 mm3/Nm) under 2 N applied load than that obtained nitrogen. It was also found that the SS 316L cold sprayed by helium with dense structure presents high hardness and good tribological performance that can be suggested for several applications.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Tribo-mechanical performance and antibacterial activity in (Cu, Zr)-alloyed Ti(Al)N coatings synthesized by reactive magnetron sputtering</title>
    <abstract language="eng">In this work, copper and zirconium were added into the Ti(Al)N matrix to form deposited on TiAl(Cu, Zr)N coating using RF magnetron sputtering system in order to improve the mechanical, wear performance, and antibacterial activity. Results revealed that the TiAl(Cu, Zr)N coatings have a dense structure with (111) preferential orientation. The deposited TiAl(Cu, Zr)N coatings exhibited fcc-TiN structure, whereas the addition of Zr and Cu into the Ti(Al)N induced the appearance of Cu and ZrN. The solid solution strengthening and the increase in compressive residual stress (− 2.54 GPa) of Ti(Al, Zr)N coating with higher lattice strain (+ 0.1520) by the addition of Zr improved the hardness from 20.9 GPa. For the tribological property, the friction coefficient and wear rate decreased from (0.45, 5.9 × 10−3mm3/Nm) for the TiAlN to (0.29, 4.2 × 10−5mm3/Nm) for the Ti(Al, Zr)N, respectively, with high elasto-plastic H/E, H3/E2 (0.076, 0.121 GPa) ratios due to the low surface roughness, high adhesion, and nanocomposite structure. The results indicated the addition of Zr improves the friction property of Ti(Al)N coating. Although with their lower hardness than Ti(Al)N coating, the Ti(Al, Cu)N coating with 9.2 at.% Cu exhibited an excellent wear resistance and good antibacterial activity, which demonstrates its potential as a candidate material for biomedical application.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">In Vitro Corrosion and Wear Investigation of Multifunctional TiAlMoN Sputtered Coatings on Cold-Sprayed SS316L</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Although TiAlN has been thoroughly studied, there is still an ongoing demand for developing new-based TiAlN films with enhanced protection efficiency for a long lifetime and high load-bearing capability linked to friction and corrosion mechanisms. This work aims to present the effect of Mo content by studying the structural tribo-mechanical, wettability, and corrosion behaviors in TiAlMoN coatings deposited by magnetron sputtering on cold-sprayed stainless steel 316L substrates. TiAlMoN coatings showed a dense columnar structure with the coexistence of titanium and molybdenum nitrides, and TiN (200) preferred orientation changed to TiN(111) with increasing Mo content. The surface energy of the TiAlMoN coatings decreased gradually with the increase in Mo content. The TiAlMoN coating containing 16.09 atom % Mo possesses the highest hardness and Young’s modulus (29.5 and 334.5 GPa, respectively) and the maximum H/E and H3/E2 of 0.092 and 0.237, respectively. Formations of tribolayer oxides reduced the friction and enhanced the wear resistance of TiAlMoN coatings in atmospheric conditions and reached the minimum values of 0.3 and 0.849 × 10–6 mm3/N, respectively, at 16.09 atom % of Mo under 5 N load charge. Corrosion examination in simulated seawater revealed that TiAlMoN coating-coated SS316L exhibited a significant positive shift of about −16 mV in corrosion potential with a notable reduction in corrosion current density (1.41 nA/cm2), confirming the improved corrosion performance. The combination of both cold spray and magnetron sputtering techniques for producing this kind of component is shown to have great potential in processing applications.</abstract>
