Abstract
The study aims to prepare several nanocomposite coatings on low-carbon steel, acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, and alumina substrate two nanoparticles TiC and SiC were used. FESEM, EDX, XRD, contact angle, nanoindentation test, ball on-disc tribometer, and polarization tests were done. The results show different coating properties can be obtained using different deposition conditions. Two multi-criteria decision-making methods, the weighted sum model and the analytic hierarchy process were utilized to distinguish and choose the best coating for each substrate.
After the discussion committee recorded its observations on the thesis, which were divided between explanation and correction, and the student’s defense of her thesis, and the end of the discussion, the committee sat down to evaluate the thesis, and decided to grant the student a doctoral degree with a pass grade.
