I need some general information about hard coatings and their basic oxides, but I cannot find any good links... Is it possible that you could know a link or two?
Netrinobuster said:Actually, MATLABdude, Ti oxides (and others) are referred quite often at articles about hard coatings. I'm not too sure about their advantages yet, but I'll make sure to post what I'll find. :)
Hard coatings are thin layers of materials that are applied onto the surface of a substrate to increase its hardness and durability. Basic oxides are a type of inorganic compound that contain oxygen and a metal element, and are widely used in the production of hard coatings.
Hard coatings and basic oxides have a wide range of applications in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical, and electronics. They are used to improve the wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability of materials.
Hard coatings are typically produced using physical vapor deposition (PVD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques, while basic oxides are commonly produced through chemical reactions between metal elements and oxygen at high temperatures.
The use of hard coatings and basic oxides can greatly enhance the mechanical and chemical properties of materials, making them more resistant to wear, corrosion, and high temperatures. This can lead to increased lifespan and efficiency of products.
The production of hard coatings and basic oxides may involve the use of toxic chemicals and high energy consumption, which can have negative impacts on the environment. However, efforts are being made to develop more sustainable production methods and reduce the environmental footprint of these materials.
