Retraction note: Anti-corrosion and Wear Properties of Binary Ni–P/Cow Horn Particulate Composite Coatings on Mild Steel via Electroless Method (Journal of Bio- and Tribo-Corrosion, (2020), 6, 4, (137), 10.1007/s40735-020-00431-1)

The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, a number of concerns were raised by a third-party. In Fig. 9, concerns were raised over possible editing, including unusual characteristics in the sizes and shapes of the lines and appearance crossing into the Y-axis. Furthermore, the EDS spectrum in Fig. 2 appears to overlap with that in Fig. 4a in a later paper sharing one of the same authors [1], but the origin and the composition of the steel reported to be different in the Methods and in Table 1 of both papers. The authors did not respond to requests for raw data. The Editor-in-Chief has lost confidence in the data and conclusions of this article. All authors did not respond to correspondence from the publisher regarding this retraction.
