For a large number of non-oxide ceramic/metal as well as for non-oxide particulate reinforced composite/metal tribocouples, oxidative wear is reported to play a major role in the overall damage and material removal process. The designing of new materials with improved resistance to oxidative wear requires understanding of the combined effect of the material properties and operating parameters o...

In this study, Mo-(Y,Zr)-Si-B coatings were obtained by direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS) and high-power impulse (HIPIMS) using mosaic targets. The results showed that the addition of Y Zr into composition Mo-Si-B led to suppression columnar grain growth, a decrease in crystallite size h-MoSi2 phase from ~50 ~5 nm, an increase amorphous crystalline phases ratio Doping coating with prom...
