Characterisation and tribological evaluation of nitrogen-containing molybdenum-copper PVD metallic nanocomposite films
(2005)This paper reports on the structural, mechanical and tribological properties of molybdenum-copper nanocomposite films 'doped' with small amounts of nitrogen, which contain either no nitride phase (i.e. the nitrogen is held ...

Correlation of elastic modulus, hardness and density for sputtered TiAlBN thin films
(2006)This paper describes the correlation between the elastic modulus, hardness and density of mainly X-ray amorphous TiAlxByNz (0.29 ≤ x ≤ 1.32

The effect of boron additions on the tribological behaviour of TiN coatings produced by electron-beam evaporative PVD
(1999)TiN coatings containing small amounts of boron were synthesized by electron beam evaporating a Ti-B alloy material from a single crucible source into a plasma comprising Ar or an Ar/N2 mixture at a substrate temperature ...

Nanostructural studies of PVD TiAlB coatings
(2006)TiAlB coatings with different compositions were deposited by co-sputtering from TiAl and TiB2 targets onto AISI316 stainless steel substrates at a temperature of 170 °C. The stoichiometry and nanostructure have been studied ...

Plasma-based surface engineering processes for wear and corrosion protection
(1995)Vacuum plasma-based coating and treatment methods have considerable potential for reducing wear and corrosion. However, they have not been widely applied to engineering components other than tools such as those used in ...
