Dr. Anas Ghailane, Engineer at Avaluxe International GmbH Introduction: In order to make the surface of an engineering product capable of withstanding loads in service whether mechanical (wear) or electrochemical (corrosion), surface engineers use different approaches to enhance the properties of the surface. We distinguish between heat treatment of the surface (heating and quenching), thermochemical diffusion (example: carburizing, nitriding) or mechanical treatment (for example shot...

High entropy alloys (HEAs) have emerged as promising candidates for high-temperature applications due to their ability to withstand high...

The technique of electroplating involves plating different metals onto a metal or plastic component. This enhances the part's functioning...
