Journal ArticleDOI
Characterisation of Ti1−xSixNy nanocomposite films
Filipe Vaz,L. Rebouta,Ph. Goudeau,J. Pacaud,H Garem,J.P. Rivière,Albano Cavaleiro,Eduardo Alves +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-phase system composed of a nanocrystalline f.c. structure was synthesized by RF reactive sputtering from Ti and Si elemental targets, in an Ar/N 2 gas mixture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review on self-lubricant transition metal dichalcogenide nanocomposite coatings alloyed with carbon
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the results on the tribological behavior of nanocomposite coatings composed of nanoplatelets of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) immersed in a C-rich amorphous matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultra-microhardness testing procedure with Vickers indenter
TL;DR: In this article, a study concerning the hardness and the Young's modulus results determined by Vickers indentation on different materials was performed, and two methods were proposed for performing the indentation geometrical calibration of the contact area; these are compared with a former method proposed by Oliver and Pharr (OP).
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructure and mechanical properties of nanocomposite (Ti,Si,Al)N coatings
Sandra Carvalho,L. Rebouta,Albano Cavaleiro,Luís Augusto Rocha,José R. B. Gomes,Eduardo Alves +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a mixture of two phases whose structure is similar to TiN was observed to form in the presence of reactive magnetron sputtering, which can be associated with the segregation of the SiN phase, though the formation of an amorphous AlN phase cannot be excluded.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanostructured TiC/a-C coatings for low friction and wear resistant applications
TL;DR: In this article, closed-field unbalanced and balanced magnetron sputtering was used to deposit nanocrystalline TiC (nc-TiC)/amorphous carbon (a-C) nanocomposite coatings with hydrogenated or hydrogen-free a-C matrix, respectively.
