Title: | Physical and mechanical properties of Ti1 - xSixN films | Authors: | Vaz, F. Rebouta, L. Ramos, S. Cavaleiro, A. Silva, M. F. da Soares, J. C. |
Keywords: | Rutherford back-scattering spectrometry; Silicon; Titanium; X-ray diffraction | Issue Date: | 1998 | Citation: | Surface and Coatings Technology. 100-101:(1998) 110-115 | Abstract: | Ti1 - xSixN coatings with 0 <- x <- 0.30 and thicknesses ranging from 1.2 to 3.3 [mu]m, were deposited on to polished high-speed steel substrates by r.f. reactive magnetron sputtering. The atomic composition of the samples was measured by Rutherford backscatering spectrometry (RBS), and the texture was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Great improvements in hardness and adhesion behaviour were obtained when compared to TiN. Hardness results and adhesion behaviour as a function of the Si content will be shown and discussed. The Ti0.85Si0.15N sample presented the best results with a hardness value of about 36 GPa and a critical load for total failure around 70 N. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/4327 | Rights: | openAccess |
