Abstract

By using differing target materials and admitting reactive atmospheres, thin protective coatings having an amorphous and/or metastable character such as sialon, (Ti, Al)N and (Ti, Zr)N are deposited. Phase formation, crystalline structure, morphology and mechanical properties of these films are investigated by X-ray analysis, transmisison electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope, Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and metallographic measurements. The thermal stability of the coating systems are examined and corrosion and wear test carried out.
