Theoretical Aspects on some Mechanical and Tribological Properties of MeNx (Me = Ti, Zr, Ta) Thin Films
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2010, Vol 11, Issue 29
Abstract
This paper presents a bibliographical study concerning the mechanical and tribological properties of MeNx type (Me = Ti, Zr, Ta) coatings. Various researches have shown that these types of MeNx compounds revealed good properties in terms of hardness, friction, wear and corrosion aspects. Wishing to extend the practical applicability area of these compounds, in the last time, the researches were focused for finding optimal compositions which could offer the multifunctional character. That means, coating with good mechanical, tribological, electrical, optical and decorative aspects, in a simultaneously mode.
