Structure–property–performance relations of high-rate reactive arc-evaporated Ti–B–N nanocomposite coatings

The nanostructure, wear and corrosion performance of arc-evaporated CrBxNy nanocomposite coatings

“…These results are in agreement with other work in which it has been observed that for TiB x N y and CrB x N y coatings with varying a-BN contents, the friction coefficient remains in the range 0.4 -0.6 [46][47][48]. The friction coefficient for the coatings at 500°C is similar to that obtained at RT, suggesting that oxidation does not have a strong effect on the friction coefficient.…”

Structure and mechanical properties of TiBN coatings fabricated by dc reactive sputtering technique

“…Ti-B-N nanocomposites coatings [2,3] have high potential for technological applications such as protective coatings with excellent mechanical, chemical and thermal stability properties [4,5]. Industrial applications of TiBN coatings include cutting and forming tools, as well as favourable tribological properties (i.e., low friction coefficient and high wear resistance), and allied to good oxidation and corrosion resistance [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. It is possible to control the mechanical and tribological properties of TiBN coatings by controlling the boron and nitrogen content of the coatings [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

“…Although numerous studies have been published, the majority is given on the boron addition into TiN coatings. Few studies have been carried out on TiBN coatings controlling the nitrogen flux [6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

The effect of droplets in arc evaporated TiAlTaN hard coatings on the wear behavior

“…5a shows beneath the top platinum layer the coating which has overgrown the droplet core. This area is characterized by compositional variations originating from substrate rotation during the deposition process [23], which is best seen in the titanium and nitrogen mappings in Fig. 5b and c. Also the TiN adhesion layer close to the cemented carbide substrate is clearly seen.…”
