Abstract-Structure and properties of (Zr-Ti-Cr-Nb)N multicomponent nanostructured coatings fab ricated by a vacuum arc deposition have been investigated. It has been found that the coatings thickness attained 6.2 μm, hardness and indentation load that is responsible for the stress exceeding cohesion strength of coatings were H = 43.7 GPa and L c = 62.06 N, respectively. In coatings structures have been identified that consist of three interstitial phases having cubic, hexagonal, and tetragonal lattices. The nanocrystallites sizes were from 4 to 7.3 nm. The results of the SEM, TEM, EDS, and XRD analysis have been also considered.
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.
