Engineers have developed a new high-performance tungsten–copper metallic coating in one step using plasma spray, for future high heat flux (HHF) plasma facing components (PFC), specifically in the ...

Plasma-spraying deposition, like many applications that guarantee a high reproducibility of processes, requires the use of free-flowing powders. In this example, the substrate needs to receive a ...

Lead, which has been used for radiation shielding in medicine, is currently sought to be replaced by an eco-friendly shielding material. Therefore, it should be replaced with shielding materials ...

Surface coatings are used to provide corrosion, wear and tarnishing resistance as well prolong electrical, optical, and/or thermal properties of substrate materials. Coatings allow depositing ...
