High-pressure torsion was employed to refine the microstructure of grade 2 Ti under an imposed pressure of 3.0 GPa at room temperature. The microhardness of grade 2 Ti increased from 1.82 GPa for the coarse grain state to 3.05 GPa after high-pressure torsion processing, where this value is very close to the hardness of the Ti–6Al–4V alloy. Subsequently, several diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings with thicknesse...
W–S–N films were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering from WS2 target in Ar/N2 atmosphere. Besides the standard evaluation of composition, structure, morphology, hardness and cohesion/adhesion, the core objective of this paper was to analyze coating tribological behavior. The chemical composition was 34 at.% N, 12 at.% O, 29 at.% W and 25 at.% S, and the as-deposited films were completely amorphous. The f...
This paper deals with three fundamentally different concepts of self-lubricant coatings based on the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) and deposited by magnetron sputtering. The first two designs could be considered as traditional: the TMD films doped by carbon or nitrogen. The main attention is aimed at qualitative description of surface and sub-surface modification of the films as the result of the slidi...
Abstract W-S-C films were deposited by non-reactive sputtering from a carbon target incrusted with WS2 pellets in the eroded zone. This process allows depositing coatings with a wide range of compositions, with a precise control of their carbon content. Before the deposition, a Ti interlayer was interposed between the film and the substrate to improve the final adhesion. The carbon content in W-S-C system was ...
W-S-C films were deposited by non-reactive magnetron sputtering from a carbon target with several pellets of WS2 incrusted in the zone of the preferential erosion. The number of the pellets was changed to modify the carbon content in the films, which varied from 26 up to 70 at.-%. Alloying W-S films with carbon led to a substantial increase in the hardness in the range of 4-10 GPa; the maximum hardness was obta...
