Abstract
.For surface hardening of a continuous casting mold component, a thermal spray coating of NiCrBSi (Metco-16C) and CoCrWC (Stellite-1) was performed followed by laser heat treatment of the coatings. To support selective modification of the thermal spray coating, a metallurgically determined surface temperature was maintained during the laser heat treatment,..... More

Abstract
A mixed potential-type NiO･YSZ (yttria stabilized zirconia) gas sensor employing 8YSZ solid electrolyte film was fabricated using a thermal spray coating method, and tested in a NO₂ atmosphere at various operating temperatures. The thermal spray coating method is useful for mass producing solid electrolytes without a forming, sintering or bonding..... More

Abstract
Silver nanowire (AgNWs) networks offer a promising approach for producing cost effective transparent electrode materials. However, high temperature annealing is necessary to achieve low sheet resistance, which limits the use of AgNWs for low temperature processing applications such as flexible electronics, and perovskites solar cell fabrication. This study shows that..... More
