Large-area high-rate pulsed laser deposition of smooth TiCxN1−x coatings at room temperature—mechanical and tribological properties

Growth of titanium oxynitride layers by short pulsed Nd:YAG laser treatment of Ti plates: Influence of the cumulated laser fluence

“…As an earlier study has already shown [22], there is carbon on the extreme surface of a layer produced by a laser source Nd:YAG with a longer pulse duration. These carbides may be formed from the high reactivity of the elements in the plasma [23,24] or in the liquid [25]. Since the energy from the laser source serves essentially to heat the metallic vapours, a reduction in the duration of the pulse favours the phenomena related to plasma at the expense of those related to a liquid bath like diffusion [12].…”

Microstructure and property of composite coatings on titanium alloy deposited by laser cladding with Co42+TiN mixed powders

“…Lackner et al [27], the partial replacement of nitrogen atoms by carbon atoms led to distortion of the FCC lattice and resulted in the increase of hardness. Hence cracks between the cladding coating and the substrate.…”

Contribution of TiN/Ti/a-C:H multilayers architecture to biological and mechanical properties

“…Additionally to reduce a residual stress concentration, thin metallic titanium (Ti) layers were deposited at each interface. More details of the deposition process can be found in [12,13]. A set of multilayer coatings with a different number of constituting layers and phases ratio at the constant total coating thickness of 1.5 µm was produced.…”
