Comparative tribology studies of hard ceramic and composite metal-DLC coatings in sliding friction conditions
(1995)The design of anti-friction coatings able to perform well in different wear conditions without lubricants requires a combination of adequate hardness and toughness, good adhesion, a low friction coefficient and a low wear ...

Composite DLC-metal/metal-carbide coatings produced by electron enhanced unbalanced magnetron sputtering
(1997)Composite coatings consisting of metal containing diamond like carbons were produced by unbalanced magnetron sputtering in a closed field magnetic configuration. Targets of Pta and W were poisoned with acetylene during the ...

Deposition and characterization of nitrogen containing stainless steel coatings prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering
(1996)Nitrogen containing austenitic stainless steel coatings were deposited with nitrogen concentrations up to 14.1 at% using electron enhanced closed field unbalanced DC magnetron sputtering. The reactive gas flow was controlled ...

The structure and complexity of Nash equilibria for a selfish routing game
(2002)In this work, we study the combinatorial structure and the computational complexity of Nash equilibria for a certain game that models selfish routing over a network consisting of m parallel links. We assume a collection ...

Structure, hardness and mechanical properties of magnetron-sputtered titanium-aluminium boride films
(1999)TiAlB films nominally 2 μm thick were produced by simultaneous sputtering from TiAl and TiB2 targets onto Si-(110) and AISI316 stainless steel substrate materials at a temperature of 170°C. The influence of different B/Al ...

Structure, mechanical and tribological properties of sputtered TiAlBN thin films
(1999)TiAlBN films were produced by simultaneously sputtering from TiAl and TiB2 targets in Ar/N2 mixtures at a substrate temperature of 150 °C. The goal of this investigation was to study the influence of the nitrogen content ...

Studies of the tribological and mechanical properties of laminated CrC-SiC coatings produced by r.f. and d.c. sputtering
(1997)Multilayer CrC-SiC coatings were produced by both direct current and radio frequency sputtering of Cr and Si targets in an Ar-C2H2 atmosphere. Coatings of constant thickness of about 4 μm, but with the number of layers ...

Tribological properties of twin electron-beam evaporated Cr-N and Al-Cr-N coatings under laboratory sliding and drill experiments
(2008)The tribological behavior of substoichiometric Cr-N and Al-Cr-N coatings prepared by twin electron-beam evaporation at 450°C was studied. Al-Cr-N coatings with Al to Cr ratios in the range of 1-8 (and nitrogen concentrations ...

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