Structural and mechanical properties of titanium nitride films modulated by assisting ions
Metal nitride superhard coating is an important way to protect metallic materials from wear and corrosion. In this work, series of TiNx films were prepared by dual ion beam deposition, in which ion-sputtered particles were bombarded by low energy assisting ions on substrates. The crystal structure and mechanical properties of the films deposited by assisting ion energy Ea and current density Ja were studied. The films exhibit fcc-(111) optimal alignment. Assisting ion bombardment can further enhance the crystallinity of the films. Assisting ions can also promote the performances of the hardness, elastic modulus, critical load and wear resistance of the films to a significant extend. The results show that assisting ion beam is a promising technique to fabricate and modulate the properties of superhard nitride coatings.
期刊介绍:
Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.
