Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this study explores the properties and performance of FeCrAl coatings applied to steel substrates, focusing on thickness, hardness, and surface roughness. The coating thickness varied between 215.95 µm and 270.35 µm across the samples. Hardness measurements consistently averaged around 94 HRB, indicating that thickness had minimal impact on this property. Surface roughness analysis revealed a decreasing trend with increasing coating thickness, attributed to enhanced uniformity in deposition. These results underscore the critical role of optimizing deposition parameters and surface preparation techniques to produce uniform FeCrAl coatings with reliable mechanical characteristics.
