摘要
The quaternary (VAl) 1-xTaxNcoatings were deposited by react ive magnetron co-sputtering on substrate of Corning Eagle glass. The impact of the growth conditions, including but not limited to the Ta-doping, sputtering power, substrate temperature and ratio of Ar/N2 flow rates, on the microstructur es and mechanical properties of the coatings were investigated with X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and conventional mechanical probes. The results show that the Ta-content significa ntly affects the mechanical properties of the <200> preferentially oriented coatings. For instance, as the Ta-content increased from below x≤0.31 to above x≥0.57, the dominated (111) preferentially oriented cubic VN turned completely into <200> oriented cubic TaN, accompanied by significantly increasing hardn ess, modulus, toughness, and compactness, but strongly decreasing wear-resistance and friction coefficient. Possible mechanisms responsible for the changes in its mechanical and tribological behavior were also tentatively discussed. ©, 2015, Zhenkong Kexue yu Jishu Xuebao/Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology.
