The effect of nanolayer thickness on the structure and properties of multilayer TiN/MoN coatings

“…A proton microbeam (μ PIXE) with an initial energy of 1.4 MeV was used on the basis of an IAP electrostatic accelerator (Sumy) with a beam size of 0.5 μm (a charge of 3 × 10 -10 C/pixel, a 50 × 50 scan pattern, and a scanning pitch of 0.5 μm) [10].…”

“…This can be attributed to the two stage pattern of for mation of the phase composition of nanostructured multilayer coatings [9][10][11][13][14][15]. At the onset of growth of Mo 2 N, the determining factor for nucle ation is the atomic sequence of the basic TiN lattice by local epitaxy.…”

“…At the onset of growth of Mo 2 N, the determining factor for nucle ation is the atomic sequence of the basic TiN lattice by local epitaxy. Thus, during growth of a molybdenum nitride layer, the cubic modification of γ Mo 2 N undergoes stabilization, which, under the action of structural macrostresses upon the achievement of a relatively large thickness, is accompanied by the removal of macrodeformation and the formation of an interface [9,10,15].…”

“…Therefore, the strength of the nanocomposite increases by pre venting grain boundary shearing (sliding). In terms of the Koehler model [9], valence charge transfer, nan ograin size reduction, and a decrease in the entropy of mixing is a possible mechanism for increasing the hardness of these heterostructures [3,8,[10][11][12][13][14][15]. The lowest wear was observed during deposition of layers with thicknesses of 2 and 10 nm; it was 0.148 and 2.327 × 10 -5 mm 3 N -1 mm -1 for the counterbody and the coating, respectively.…”

Formation and Characterization of Nanostructured Composite Coatings Based on the TiN Phase

“…The TiAlN and TiSiN nanocomposites consisting of TiN nanocrystals embedded in the amorphous AlN or Si 3 N 4 phases have exhibited a super hardness and excellent thermal stability, being widely applied in dry and high-speed cutting treatments [10]. The TiCrN nanocomposite is also of great interest from the point * corresponding author; e-mail: komarovF@bsu.by of view of practical applications [11]. The goal of this research is the investigation of a correlation between the composition and structure of the coating and its mechanical and nanotribological properties.…”
