The nanostructure, wear and corrosion performance of arc-evaporated CrBxNy nanocomposite coatings
(2009)
The composition, nanostructure, tribological and corrosion behaviour of reactive arc evaporated CrBxNy coatings have been studied and compared to CrN. The CrBxNy coatings were deposited on a commercial Oerlikon Balzers RCS ...
Nanostructure, mechanical and tribological properties of reactive magnetron sputtered TiCx coatings
(2008)
This study describes the correlation between microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of TiCx coatings (with x being in the range of 0–1.4), deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering from a Ti target in ...
Deposition and nanotribological characterization of Sub-100-nm thick protective Ti-based coatings for miniature applications
(2011)
Ti-based protective thin films with thicknesses below 100 nm, intended for miniature applications were deposited using physical vapor deposition magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, ...
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 ...
Adaptive VN/Ag nanocomposite coatings with lubricious behavior from 25 to 1000 °c
(2010)
A two-phase nanocomposite coating that consists of inclusions of silver in a vanadium nitride matrix (VN/Ag) was investigated as a potential adaptive coating with a reduced friction coefficient from 25 to 1000 °C. This ...

This study describes the correlation between the microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of Ti 1-xCx coatings (with x being in the range of 0-0.5), deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering from a Ti target ...
Textured VN coatings with Ag3VO4 solid lubricant reservoirs
(2011)
Silver oxovanadate powders were produced using a low temperature hydrothermal synthesis method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman microscopy revealed the formation of the α-Ag3VO4 phase, and differential scanning calorimetry ...
Structure and mechanical properties of low temperature magnetron sputtered nanocrystalline (nc-)Ti(N,C)/amorphous diamond like carbon (a-C:H) coatings
(2010)
This paper reports on the structure and mechanical properties of 2μm thick nanocomposite (nc-) Ti(N,C)/amorphous diamond like carbon (a-C:H) coatings deposited on 100Cr6 steel substrates, using low temperature ( 200°C) DC ...
Novel CeO2-based screen-printed potentiometric electrodes for pH monitoring
(2011)
Nuclear waste repositories are being installed in deep excavated rock formations in some places in Europe to isolate and store radioactive waste. In France, the Callovo-Oxfordian formation (COx) is a possible candidate for ...
