In the present study, CrN, TiN and (Ti, Cr)N coatings were deposited on D6 tool steel substrates. Physical and mechanical properties of coatings such as microstructure, thickness, phase composition, and hardness were evaluated. Phase compositions were studies by X-ray diffraction method. Mechanical properties were determined by nano-indentation technique. The friction and wear behaviour of the ...

In this investigation PVD Ti-Cr)N coatings were deposited on hardened and tempered tool steel substrates using reactive arc evaporation. Physical and mechanical properties of coatings such as roughness, thickness, phase composition, hardness and modulus young and coefficient friction were evaluated. Phase compositions were studies by X-ray diffraction method. The surface microstructure and morp...

Ion implantation has been shown to improve adhesion strength of AlCrSiN coatings due a synergic enhancement on fracture toughness and load bearing capability the substrate that can potentially increase in-service efficiency coated cutting tools. In this work, deposited by PVD WC-Co substrates implanted with Ti, Cr N ion species have processed. The mechanical properties characterized contact tec...

calcareous deposits formed on the part of steel that cathodic reactions occur on their surface. the purpose of this research is an investigation of the effect of potential on crystal form of the calcareous deposits and effect of them on the corrosion resistance of the mild steel in natural seawater. the electrochemical tests such as impedance and polarization tofel tests were used in order to i...

The structure of 3 nm and 15 nm diamond-like carbon films, grown on Si(001) by filtered cathodic arc, was studied by angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ARXPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The ARXPS data was deconvolved by employing simultaneous-fitting, which allowed for a clear deconvolution of the Si 2p and C 1s spectra into their different chemical contributions....
