Resistance reduction of patterned surface inspired by cuticle structure of Achalinus spinalis by Jiahui Zhao, Keju Ji, Qin Chen, Muhammad Niaz Khan, Chongwen Tu, Ze Ma, Jianming Wu, Jian Chen, Zhendong Dai

“…We have compared the frictional performance of our fabricated AITPS with other competitive microstructure, using a smooth steel ball and commercial clay as an interacting surface. After performing massive friction tests with steel ball and clay, AITPS still maintains good resistance reduction performed compared to the patterned surface with straight microgrooves, which is most likely due to the reduction of actual contact areas at the frictional interface.…”

Surface passivation of high purity granular metals: zinc, cadmium, lead by Л. А. Пироженко, C. C. Пояркова, А. П. Щербань, Ю. В. Горбенко, О. В. Рибка

“…Chemical passivation allows storing metals in the normal atmospheric conditions for more than half a year for Zn and Cd and up to 30 days for Pb without changing the state of the surface. The use of the glycerol-DMF solution in the processes for obtaining Pb granules provides self-passivation of metal surfaces and eliminates the additional chemical processing while maintaining the quality of corrosion protection.…”
