摘要
We report on the thermal stability of sputter-deposited Cu/304 stainless steel nanoscale multilayer films. For individual layer thickness of approximately 70 nm, the layered morphology was stable up to 600 degrees C with no significant change in the hardness. The stainless steel layer had a duplex bcc+fcc structure that was also preserved in annealed films. After annealing at temperatures of 650 degrees C or higher, the hardness of these multilayer films decreased from 4.75 to 3.4 GPa due to morphological evolution from layers to equiaxed grains and coarsening of the nanolayers.
