Nano‐Microcomposite and Combined Coatings on Ti‐Si‐N/WC‐Co‐Cr/Steel and Ti‐Si‐N/(Cr ₃ C ₂ ) ₇₅ ‐(NiCr) ₂₅ Base: Their Structure and Properties

Effect of ion implantation on the physical and mechanical properties of Ti-Si-N multifunctional coatings for biomedical applications

“…7c, d). Nevertheless, the implanted coating has worse elastic strain prior to the plastic deformation after 30 nm, depth at which the hardness values are reliable, which will decrease its wear resistance [3,4,13,21,22]. Moreover, the resistance of the Ti-Si-N coating to the formation of cracks (H 3 /E r 2 ) decreases after Cu ion implantation, which is well visible in Fig.…”

“…: by adding a third component such as (Si), may enable them to significantly improve their mechanical properties and therefore extend their applicability [3,5]. A great interest to the Ti-Si-N coatings resides on their high hardness (≥40 GPa), thermal stability (1100°C), resistance to oxidation at high temperatures (600°C) and high resistance to abrasion [13,21,22].…”

Structure and Properties of Nanostructured (Ti‐Hf‐Zr‐V‐Nb)N Coatings

“…Due to the low grain size (≤10 nm) and the great importance of the boundary zones (a surface boundary in particular) surrounding individual grains and nanograin joints, behavior and properties of nanocomposites crucially differ from conventional materials with the grain sizes of more than 100 nm [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Therefore, fabrication of new combinations of nanocomposite materials (nanostructured coatings) based on (Ti-Zr-Hf-V-Nb)N using cathodic vacuum-arc deposition and studies of their physical and mechanical properties turns to be a very promising trend of modern material science [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. On the other hand, the theory of multicomponent high entropy alloys, which demonstrated improved thermal stability, was already proposed and demonstrated experimentally [5-7, 14, 20-23].…”
