Ti–B–N (nc-TiN/ a-BN) composite coatings with various boron contents were deposited by magnetron sputtering. nano-indentation, ball-on-disc dry sliding X-ray diffraction, and, Raman spectroscopy was used in evaluating the ...

Tungsten titanium nitride films were synthesized by the reactive magnetron sputtering system and the influence of titanium content on the crystal structure, mechanical and tribological properties of the films were investigated. ...

W-Si-N composite films were deposited on both stainless steel and silicon wafers using a reactive magnetron system. The silicon content of the film was varied to evaluate the effect of silicon on films' elemental composition, ...

Ti–W–V–N composite films with different vanadium contents were synthesised by multi-target reactive magnetron sputtering. The microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of Ti–W–V–N films were investigated by ...

Composite TiN-Ag films with various Ag content (Ag/(Ti + Ag)) were deposited using reactive magnetron sputtering and the influence of Ag content on the crystal structure, mechanical and tribological properties were ...

spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Raman spectrometry, nano-indentation, and high-temperature sliding ...
