The aim of our study is to evaluate the tribo-corrosion properties of conversion coatings on Vanadis 6 type of steel. Vanadis 6 cold work steel is a high-carbon, high alloyed steel known for its favourable mechanical properties even in very harsh operating conditions, including high loads, contact stresses, contact temperatures and severe wear [1]. Mechanical properties were recently reported...

INTRODUCTION
Driven by factors such as sedentary lifestyles and age-related degeneration, the increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders has heightened the need for innovative orthopaedic solutions [1]. Biomedical alloys, meticulously designed to operate...
Doped TiAlN thin films are gaining unprecedented attention in recent times due to their functionality and tuneable properties to meet specific demands. The present article focuses on the influence of phosphorus-doped TiAlN thin films deposited using high-power impulse magnetron sputtering. Thin films of different elemental compositions of Ti, Al, and P were sputtered on AISI 5206 steel. The...
