Temperature-sensitive parts that can't stand a lot of heat are now fair game for high-performance coatings. Vapor-deposition processes let designers apply finishes that are both functional and ...

Fastener coatings or finishes improve appearance, increase corrosion resistance, and provide lubricity. Electrodeposited coatings: Zinc, cadmium, tin, nickel, and chromium coatings are most common for ...

University of Sheffield researchers developed a machine learning framework to improve coating properties in a roll-to-roll slot die coating process. The work is seen as an initial step toward broader ...
