Measuring the surface roughness of sputtered coatings by microgravimetry.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel application of quartz crystal microgravimetry is described to enable determination of the roughness of native and sputtered oxide coatings. The technique is applicable to coatings that may be too rough for accurate atomic force microscopic imaging where measurements may be limited by the dimensions of the probe tip.

Wettability of Y2O3: A Relative Analysis of Thermally Oxidized, Reactively Sputtered and Template Assisted Nanostructured Coatings
The wettability of reactively sputtered Y₂O₃, thermally oxidized Y-Y₂O₃ and Cd-CdO template assisted Y₂O3 coatings has been studied. The wettability of as-deposited Y₂O3 coatings was determined by contact angle measurements. The water contact angles for reactively sputtered, thermally oxidized and template assisted Y₂O3 nanostructured coatings were 99°, 117° and 155°, respectively. The average ...
متن کاملThick Sputtered Tantalum Coatings for High-Temperature Energy Conversion Applications
Thick sputtered tantalum (Ta) coatings on Inconel were investigated as a potential replacement for bulk refractory metal substrates used for high-temperature emitters and absorbers in thermophotovoltaic energy conversion applications. In these applications, high-temperature stability and high reflectance of the surface in the infrared wavelength range are critical in order to sustain operationa...

In this study, the effect of surface morphologies on the isothermal oxidation behavior of MCrAlY coatings fabricated by high-velocity oxyfuel (HVOF) processes was investigated. To do so, free standing coatings with as-sprayed and polished surfaces were isothermally oxidized at 1050°C. The thickness of the bond coat was approximately 380μm. The Ra of the as-sprayed and polished surfaces were 6.4...
