TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of Al content on the microstructure, mechanical, oxidation resistance and tribological properties of Mo-Al-N films were investigated and the results showed that the synthesized Mo-al-n films exhibited the face-centered cubic (fcc) structure with (111)-preferred orientation.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of ZrN-Ag films with various Ag contents (Ag/(Zr+Ag), at.%) were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering and their microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties at various testing temperatures were investigated by the energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Xray photoelectron spectraopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoindenter and high temperature tribometer.

TL;DR: In this paper, W-Si-N composite films were deposited on both stainless steel and silicon wafers using a reactive magnetron system and the silicon content of the film was varied to evaluate the effect of silicon on films' elemental composition, microstructure, oxidation resistance, mechanical and tribological properties.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of Si content on the microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of Ti-Mo-Si-N films were investigated and the results showed that the face-centered cubic (fcc) interstitial solid solution was formed by dissolution of Si into TiMo-N lattice with the Si content in the range of 3.1-5.0% Si.
