This doctoral thesis by Rikard Forsén focuses on alloying quaternary transition metal nitride hard coatings to enhance their properties such as hardness and oxidation resistance at high temperatures. The research particularly emphasizes Ti-Cr-Al-N coatings, exploring how the addition of a third metal to a ternary nitride system can improve thermal stability and hardness retention up to 1100 ºC. By using alloying and controlling coherency strain, the study demonstrates the ability to engineer improved hard nitride coatings for cutting tools used in high-speed and dry cutting applications. The work is intended for scientists and engineers in materials science, particularly those involved in developing advanced coatings for industrial applications.

The plastics industry is a major player for consumer items, notably for the automotive, consumer electronics and packaging industries, and is necessarily very active in innovation. As a result, moulded thermoplastics are achieving new heights in decorative appearance and quality. Many striking aesthetic effects are possible by employing new polymer blends coupled with a diverse range of decoration and surface treatment technologies. These can produce three-dimensional and tactile finishes, high definition images, flawless high gloss and metallic surfaces, as well as effects ranging from imitat

One of the first thing that comes to your mind after hearing the term “corrosion” is corrosion of a metal. Corrosion is a basically harmful phenomenon, but it can be useful in some cases. For instance, environment’s pollution with corrosion products and damage to the performance of a system are among its harmful effects, whereas electric energy generation in a battery and cathodic protection of many structures are among its advantages. However, these advantages are almost nothing as compared to the costs and effects imposed by its detrimental influences. The enormous costs of this phenomenon can be better understand through studying the published statistics on direct and indirect corrosion damages on economy of governments. The direct cost of corrosion is near 3 % of the gross domestic product (GDP) of USA. Considering this huge cost, it is necessary to develop and expand the corrosion science and its protection technologies.
