Maintenance optimization is applied by organizations to develop robust maintenance programs while attempting to establish a trade-off between competing maintenance requirements and resources. For this reason, maintenance ...
In this work, the wear behaviour of thin aluminium thin films (thickness range of 750-
1500 nm) deposited on rough stainless-steel substrate through radio-frequency (rf) magnetron
sputtering at varying substrate temperature ...
