P. Cavaliere, A. Perrone, A. Silvello, A. Laska, G. Blasi and I. Garcia Cano https://doi.org/10.3390/met12050780 Abstract: Cold-spray coatings were produced by FeCoCrNiMn high-entropy alloy powders depositedon carbon steel substrate. The coatings were realized at intermediate temperature and highpressure (at 1100 °C and 7 MPa). The coating microstructure was characterized by scanning electronmicroscopy and X-ray diffraction,…

Rodolpho Vaz, PhD student at CPT-Universitat de Barcelona, has actively participated in this investigation of corrosion issues in the petrolchemical sector. (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfcoat.2022.128398) Abstract: During the regular operation of a petrochemical plant, the degradation and corrosion of some metallic parts frequently occur. These parts are exposed, from the oil extraction to refining processes, to an environment…
