The use of cutting tools in progressively more severe conditions in the metal-mechanics industry and the requirement to increase tool life against friction, wear and high temperature corrosion made of surface treatments ...

The search for materials that can be modified at molecular level has been the subject of several studies worldwide. Thus, the production techniques of thin films stand out due to the possibility of reducing costs and ...

Zirconium nitride (ZrN) nanometric films were deposited onto different substrates, in order to study the surface microstructure and also to investigate the electrochemical behavior to obtain a better composition that ...
