Summary: In this study, an Ir-Ta-Ni-Nb bulk metallic glass (BMG) with outstanding high-temperature wear resistance was demonstrated and its potential applications in extreme environments were revealed. The wear behavior and mechanism were systematically investigated from room temperature to 750 degrees C. The results showed an improvement in wear resistance at a higher temperature of 750 degrees C, attributed to the formation of an oxide layer, which avoids violent wear of the BMG.

Summary: Laser shock peening (LSP) treatment significantly affects the phase structure and properties of titanium-based BMG materials, promoting rejuvenation and introducing heterogeneity. This leads to improved plasticity and resistance to crack propagation. LSP-1 specimen exhibits higher hardness and plasticity, reducing fatigue peeling wear caused by brittleness. However, excessive LSP results in increased susceptibility to pitting and significantly reduces tribocorrosion resistance.

Summary: This study investigates the creation of bidirectional friction using microscale ellipsoidal asperity textures, relying on the adhesive component of friction. Measurements showed higher friction coefficients perpendicular to the asperity major radii, with larger asperity dimensions leading to increased friction. Numerical analysis indicated that this effect is mostly related to elastic asperity deflection, and bidirectional friction differences can be controlled by asperity dimensions, spacing, and material properties.

Summary: In this study, titanium films were deposited on complex bowl-shaped workpieces using DCMS and HiPIMS methods, and the differences in film properties were investigated. The results showed that HiPIMS films exhibited better uniformity in terms of crystal texture, microhardness, and microstructure compared to DCMS films. This can be attributed to the reduced self-shadowing effect and enhanced energetic bombardment in HiPIMS.

Summary: Severe tool wear occurs in hot stamping, primarily due to compaction galling where fractured particles from the part's coating become compacted on the tools. Investigation of AlSi coating fracture reveals a strong correlation between fracture, strain, and temperature. I-type coating fractures widen and eventually lead to II-type fractures along the coating-substrate interface.

Summary: Amorphous carbon films were deposited using bipolar HiPIMS with different pulse lengths and argon as the sputter gas. The films were compared with those deposited using conventional unipolar HiPIMS in terms of deposition rate, compressive stress, sp3 fraction, and mechanical properties. It was found that optimal positive and negative pulse lengths are needed in bipolar HiPIMS to increase the sp3 fraction and reduce the argon content. Bipolar HiPIMS not only increases the energy of depositing ions but also reduces the probability of sputter gas incorporation, resulting in reduced argon content. The coatings with reduced argon content exhibit high residual stress, high hardness, and improved cutting functionality.
