      Deposition and characterisation of TiAlBN coatings produced by direct electron-beam evaporation of Ti and Ti-Al-B-N material from a twin crucible source 

      Rebholz, Claus; Leyland, A.; Matthews, A. (1999)
      TiAlBN coatings were synthesised by evaporating Ti and hot isostatically pressed TiAl0.68B3.67N2.44 material from a twin crucible source in an Ar plasma at 450°C. A combination of optical emission spectroscopy and partial ...
