(author), Petrov, Ivan (author), Birch, Jens (author), Hultman, Lars (author), Greczynski, Grzegorz (author)We study microstructure, mechanical, and corrosion properties of Zr<sub>1-x</sub>Cr<sub>x</sub>B<sub>y</sub> coatings deposited by hybrid high-power impulse/DC magnetron co-sputtering (CrB<sub>2</sub>-HiPIMS/ZrB<sub>2</sub>-DCMS). Cr/(Zr + Cr) ratio, x, increases from 0.13 to 0.9, while B/(Zr + Cr) ratio, y, decreases from 2.92 to 1.81. As...journal article 2022

(author), Hultman, Lars (author), Petrov, Ivan (author), Greene, J. E. (author), Greczynski, Grzegorz (author)Refractory transition-metal (TM) diborides have high melting points, excellent hardness, and good chemical stability. However, these properties are not sufficient for applications involving extreme environments that require high mechanical strength as well as oxidation and corrosion resistance. Here, we study the effect of Cr addition on the...journal article 2021

Koleva, D.A. (author), Zhang, X. (author), Petrov, P. (author), Boshkov, N. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author), De Wit, J.H.W. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author), Tsvetkova, N. (author)This study reports on a comparative investigation of the corrosion behavior of zinc (Zn) and nano-composite zinc (ZnC) galvanic layers in 5% NaCl solution. The metallic matrix of the ZnC layers incorporates nano-sized, stabilized polymeric aggregates, formed from the amphiphilic tri-block co-polymer: poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) - poly ...journal article 2008
