Formation of Ti2AlN nanolaminate films by multilayer-deposition and subsequent rapid thermal annealing

Tailoring of the thermal expansion of Cr2(Alx,Ge1−x)C phases

“…The MAX phases have been extensively studied not only in order to shed light on their unique combination of properties but also to explore their potential for numerous industrial applications (see review articles [1,2,3,4] and recent examples [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]). It has long been appreciated that a promising strategy to tailor properties is to form solid solutions on the M, A and/or X sites [1,2].…”

Opportunities of the glow discharge optical emission spectrometry (GDOES) in investigating coatings

“…Отличие в положениях пиков для профи-лей алюминия и титана составляет 10-15 нм. От-метим, что ранее методом оптической эмисси-онной спектроскопии были исследованы нано-слойные покрытия в системах Ti/Al [13], Ti/AlN [14], Cr/CrN [15] и TiC/VC [16]. Высокое разре-шение для покрытий Cr/Ti по глубине было полу-чено благодаря высокоточному подбору параме-тров травления [7,17].…”

Tribological behavior of selected Mn+1AXn phase thin films on silicon substrates

“…The elemental layer thicknesses, the count of stack repetitions, total film thicknesses of all samples and the annealing parameters are listed in Table 2. More details about these synthesis processes were recently published [20][21][22].…”

“…Another approach of thin film MAX phase synthesis is the multilayer synthesis approach depositing elemental multilayer by magnetron sputtering at room temperature and subsequent rapid thermal annealing as used in this work [20][21][22]. Furthermore, depositing of multilayer systems at elevated temperatures [23], and longer thermal processing [24,25] was applied.…”

“…Due to their interesting property combination MAX phase materials are promising as surfaces in electrical sliding contacts or other tribological systems used in thermal or chemical aggressive environments. As the applied thin film syntheses are based on the deposition of elemental multilayers and subsequent annealing [20][21][22], also the sliding properties of the deposited multilayers were investigated to gain information about the influence of the annealing process and the formation of the MAX phases on the tribological properties. In this paper experimental results on the tribological behavior of the thin films against the counterpart material 1.3505 are presented.…”
