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

Abstract The optimal electrolyte composition for electrolyte-plasma surface hardening of 40XH steel, which does not lead to the surface layer to erosion, oxidation and decarburization are determined in this work. It is shown that after electrolytic-plasma surface hardening a modified layer with a thickness of 1–1.2 mm is formed with high hardness and wear resistance which consisting of a hardened layer of fine-grained martensite, an intermediate layer of perlite and martensite.
