Wear and corrosion properties of (Ti1–xCrx)N coatings produced by the ion-plating method

Ion assisted deposition of titanium chromium nitride

“…0.3, is equal to that for pure CrN [9,16,17]. Auger spectroscopy [16,17] combined with Transmission Electron Microscopy [18] show that the surface, for high Cr content in the film, is formed of pure Cr 2 O 3 , which determines the corrosion rate. Superior wear resistance of TiCrN has been shown by other workers [7,8,15,17].…”

“…Auger spectroscopy [16,17] combined with Transmission Electron Microscopy [18] show that the surface, for high Cr content in the film, is formed of pure Cr 2 O 3 , which determines the corrosion rate. Superior wear resistance of TiCrN has been shown by other workers [7,8,15,17]. It was found, that the maximum wear resistance, as well as the lowest friction coefficient, was reached for x values between 0.4 and 0.85.…”

Tribocorrosion behaviour of duplex surface treated AISI 304 stainless steel

“…According to the Pourbaix diagram of Cr in pure water [26], it can be inferred that chromium shows a passivation region up to approximately 0.4 V vs. SCE at neutral pH. Lee et al [27] indicate that chromium nitrides will transform to oxides following this reaction:…”

Growth and Characterization of Nanostructured TiCrN Films Prepared by DC Magnetron Cosputtering

“…Recently, the ternary nitride films such as TiCrN [5][6][7][8][9][10], CrZrN [11], TiAlN [12], and CrAlN [13] are greatly interesting to enhance the mechanical and chemical properties at high temperature. TiCrN, especially, has been attracting more attention owing to high hardness, high temperature oxidation resistance, and low friction coefficient [5][6][7][8][9][10][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Actually, it is well known that the film properties strongly depend on the microstructure of the films such as phase, grain, and defect structure which relate to the deposition parameters.…”
