      Polychronopoulou, K.; Rebholz, Claus; Demas, N. G.; Polycarpou, A. A.; Gibson, P. N. (Affiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Eng., University of Cyprus, Nicosia, CyprusAffiliation: Department of Mechanical Science and Eng., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL, United StatesAffiliation: Institute for Health and Consumer Protection, Joint Res. Centre of the European Commission, Ispra (VA), ItalyCorrespondence Address: Polychronopoulou, K.Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Eng., University of Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus, 2010)
      Cr-N and Cu-Cr-N coatings with Cu content between 3-65 at.%, Cu/Cr ratios in the 0.04-4.5 range and 21-27 at.% N, synthesized by twin e-beam Physical Vapor Deposition (EBPVD) at 450°C, were investigated. Using X-ray ...

      Structure, mechanical and tribological properties of nitrogen-containing chromium coatings prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering 

      Rebholz, Claus; Ziegele, H.; Leyland, A.; Matthews, A. (1999)
      Cr(1-x)N(x) coatings were deposited by magnetron sputtering at a substrate temperature of 200°C onto AISI 316 stainless-steel substrates immersed in an Ar/N2 plasma. The goal of this investigation was to study the influence ...

      Wear behaviour of carbon-containing tungsten coatings prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering 

      Rebholz, Claus; Schneider, J. M.; Leyland, A.; Matthews, A. (1999)
      W(1-x)C(x) coatings (with x being in the range of 0.05-0.19) were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering on to AISI 316 stainless-steel substrates in order to study the influence of the carbon content on the tribological ...

      Wear resistant composite coatings deposited by electron enhanced closed field unbalanced magnetron sputtering 

      Voevodin, A. A.; Rebholz, Claus; Schneider, J. M.; Stevenson, P.; Matthews, A. (1995)
      There is presently considerable interest in wear resistant coatings produced using closed field unbalanced magnetron sputtering technology. For example, layered films of diamond-like carbon (DLC) with tungsten or titanium ...
