Greener wear resistant coatings
Thanks to some new anti-wear coatings tests, interesting results have been achieved: a step towards the identification of more eco-friendly and safer supplies.
A study that was carried out by Il Sentiero International Campus, MBN Nanomaterialia and the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, led to the identification of a new composite material consisting of titanium carbide in nickel-chromium alloy. In the future, it could replace the tungsten carbide in cobalt-chromium alloy, the ceramic-metallic composite most widely used for anti-wear and corrosion coatings, which is at risk of supply and harmful.
