Abstract
A TiN coating formed in the vacuum-arc discharge plasma is studied, which possesses artificially created thickness non-uniformity due to the use of the shadow mask technique. The influence of the width between the mask channels and the samples on the distributions of the coating thickness, microhardness, and adhesion is examined. A sharp decrease of the thickness in the shadow region is found to be from 45 to 95% and that of the microhardness—from 60 to 80%. No coating delamination is revealed in measuring the coating adhesion by scratch testing.
期刊介绍:
Russian Physics Journal covers the broad spectrum of specialized research in applied physics, with emphasis on work with practical applications in solid-state physics, optics, and magnetism. Particularly interesting results are reported in connection with: electroluminescence and crystal phospors; semiconductors; phase transformations in solids; superconductivity; properties of thin films; and magnetomechanical phenomena.
