The gradient Cr-Zr layer was formed onto Zr-1Nb substrate by magnetron sputtering of chromium and zirconium targets and ion mixing (Ar+ with 25 keV). The distribution of Cr and Zr elements in the deposited coatings was measured by using a glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy. The optimal ion fluence onto the substrate was 8×1019 ion/m2. At higher ion dose, the intensive sputtering of the deposited coating was observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
