Документ Changes in the structural state and properties of vacuum-arc coatings based on high-entropy alloy TiZrHfNbTa under the influence of nitrogen pressure and bias potential at deposition(2018) Sobol, O. V.; Andreev, A. A.; Mygushchenko, R. P.; Gorban, V. F.; Stolbovoy, V. A.; Meylekhov, A. A.; Subbotina, V. V.; Kovteba, D. V.; Zvyagolsky, A. V.; Vuets, A. E.Complex studies have been carried out on the effect of nitrogen pressure and the negative bias potential on the structure and properties of vacuum-arc nitride coatings based on the high-entropy alloy TiZrHfNbTa. It is defined that the change in pressure during deposition (in the range 0.01...4 mTorr) mainly affects the nitrogen atoms content in the coating. The feed of a negative bias potential to the substrate (Ub = -50...-250 V) makes it possible to control the content of the metallic component using the effect of selective sputtering of atoms in the formation of coatings. Determined, that as the pressure increases the structural state associated with the predominant growth orientation (axial texture) of the crystallites changes. The texture changes in the sequence [311] → [311] + [111] → [111] with increasing pressure for a six-element (TiZrHfVNbTa)N nitride and the texture state changes in the sequence [110] → [110] + [111] → [111] for a five-element (TiZrHfNbTa)N nitride. It is shown that the presence of a bi-textured state in the coating makes it possible to achieve an ultrahard state with a hardness exceeding 50 GPa.Документ The Effect of Constant and High Voltage Pulse Bias Potentials on the Structure and Properties of Vacuum-Arc (TiVZrNbHf)Nₓ Coatings(Sumy State University, 2018) Sobol, O. V.; Postelnyk, A. A.; Mygushchenko, R. P.; Gorban, V. F.; Stolbovoy, V. A.; Zvyagolskiy, A. V.The effect of constant (Ub) and high voltage pulse (Uip) bias potentials supplied to the substrate during condensation, on the structure and properties of vacuum-arc (TiVZrN-Hf)Nх coatings has been studied. It has been determined that the number and size of the drop phase decreases with increasing Ub. The use of Uip promotes a more uniform growth in the coating volume. It is shown that due to the increase of Ub from 0 to 200 V in nitride coatings of high entropy alloys, it is possible to change the growth texture [100] to [111]. This results in increased hardness from 32 GPa to 49 GPa. The supply of high voltage potential in a pulse form leads to a relative decrease in the average size of crystallites and the formation of a bi-texture state. Conditions and mechanisms of the preferential crystallites orientation (axial texture) of vacuum arc (TiVZrNbHf)Nх coatings and texture influence on mechanical properties have been discussed.Документ The effect of the substrate potential during deposition on the structure and properties of the binanolayer multiperiod composites (TiAlSi)N/MeN (Me – Zr, Nb, Cr, Mo)(2018) Sobol, O. V.; Andreev, A. A.; Mygushchenko, R. P.; Stolbovoy, V. A.; Postelnyk, A. A.; Meylekhov, A. A.; Dolomanov, A. V.; Rebrova, Ye. M.It is proposed to use the multiperiod binanolayer composites (TiAlSi)N/MeN (Me-Zr, Nb, Cr, Mo) for controlling the structure, stress state and mechanical properties of a multi-element nitride (TiAlSi)N. The deposition of the layers was carried out by the method of vacuum-arc evaporation at different bias potentials on the substrate Ub = -110 and -200 V. It has been determined that mononitrides with a high Me-N binding energy in the binanolayer composite determine the crystallite growth in thin (nanometer) layers. The growth texture is formed in composites containing mononitrides based on transition metals with a relatively small atomic mass (Cr, Mo) at Ub = -110 V. The growth texture is formed at a larger Ub = -200 V when dealing with mononitride based on heavy metal (Zr). The greatest hardness is achieved in textured materials deposited at Ub = -200 V. This is typical both for a monolayer multi-element nitride (TiAlSi)N (hardness is 42.5 GPa) and for multiperiod nanolayer composites based on it (the highest hardness is 47.9 GPa for a composite (TiAlSi)N/ZrN).Документ The effects of nitrogen atmosphere pressure, constant and high-voltage pulse potentials of the substrate on the structure and properties of vacuum-arc ZrN coatings(Национальный научный центр "Харьковский физико-технический институт", 2015) Sobol’, O. V.; Andreev, A. A.; Stolbovoy, V. A.; Gorban’, V. F.; Pinchuk, N. V.; Meylekhov, A. A.ZrN-phase coatings with a cubic lattice (NaCl structure type) were produced by the method of vacuum-arc evaporation of a Zr cathode in nitrogen atmosphere at pressures PN between 0.02 and 0.64 Pa. The pressure increase at a bias potential of -150 V leads to formation of the growth texture [111] or to appearance of the bitextural state with the axes [111] and [311]. Additional pulsed-mode supply of high-voltage negative potential Uip = 800…2000 V, with pulse duration of 10 μs and frequency of 7 kHz, stimulates the emergence of texture [110]. At the substructure level, the Uip supply causes the microstrain relaxation and the crystallite size growth with increasing pressure. The observed changes are attributed to increased particle mobility and nitride formation activity under the action of Uip. The hardness increases with increasing pressure and reaches a value of 43 GPa. The Uip supply leads to a shift of the maximum hardness towards higher pressures.Документ Influence of Bias Potential Magnitude on Structural Engineering of ZrN-Based Vacuum-Arc Coatings(Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University, 2021) Sobol, O. V.; Postelnyk, H. O.; Pinchuk, N. V.; Meylekhov, A. A.; Zhadko, M. A.; Andreev, A. A.; Stolbovoy, V. A.The creation of the scientific foundations for the structural engineering of ultrathin nanolayers in multilayer nanocomposites is the basis of modern technologies for the formation of materials with unique functional properties. It is shown that an increase in the negative bias potential (from -70 to -220 V) during the formation of vacuum-arc nanocomposites based on ZrN makes it possible not only to control the preferred orientation of crystallites and substructural characteristics, but also changes the conditions for conjugation of crystal lattices in ultrafine (about 8 nm) nanolayers.Документ The Influence of Layer Thickness and Deposition Conditions on Structural State of NbN/Cu Multilayer Coatings(Sumy State University, 2019) Sobol, O. V.; Andreev, A. A.; Meylekhov, A. A.; Postelnyk, A. A.; Stolbovoy, V. A.; Ryshchenko, I. M.; Sagaidashnikov, Yu. Ye.; Kraievska, Zh. V.The influence of the main physical and technological factors of structural engineering (layer thickness, nitrogen atmosphere pressure and bias potential) on the structural-phase state of the NbN/Cu coatings was studied. It was established that with an increase in the thickness of niobium nitride layers from 8 to 40 nm (in the NbN/Cu multilayer composition), the phase composition changes from the metastable NbN (cubic crystal lattice, NaCl structural type) to the equilibrium ε-NbN phase with a hexagonal crystal lattice. At low pressure PN = 7·10 – 4 Torr in thin layers (about 8 nm thick), regardless of the Ub, the NbN phase is formed. The reason for the stabilization of this phase can be the uniformity of the metallic fcc crystal lattice of the δ-NbN phase with the Cu crystal lattice. As the pressure increases from РN = 7·10 – 4 Torr to 3·10 – 3 Torr, a more equilibrium ε-NbN phase with a hexagonal crystal lattice is formed. An increase in the bias potential during deposition from – 50 V to – 200 V mainly affects the change in the preferred orientation of crystallite growth. In thin layers of the NbN phase (about 8 nm), a crystallite texture with the [100] axis is formed. In layers with a thickness of 40-120 nm, crystallites of the NbN phase are predominantly formed with a hexagonal (004) plane parallel to the growth plane. At the greatest layer thickness (more than 250 nm), the NbN phase crystallites are predominantly formed with a (110) hexagonal lattice plane parallel to the growth plane. The results obtained show great potential for structural engineering in niobium nitride when it is used as a constituent layer of the NbN/Cu multilayer periodic system.Документ The Influence of Layers Thickness on the Structure and Properties of Bilayer Multiperiod Coatings Based on Chromium Nitride and Nitrides of Transition Metals Ti and Mo(Sumy State University, 2018) Sobol, O. V.; Meylekhov, A. A.; Mygushchenko, R. P.; Postelnyk, A. A.; Tabaza, Taha A.; Al- Qawabah, Safwan M.; Gorban, V. F.; Stolbovoy, V. A.The influence of the layers thickness of bilayer multi-period coatings of the CrNx/MoNx and CrNx/TiNx systems on their phase-structural state, substructure, stress-strain state and mechanical properties was studied using methods of precision structural analysis in combination with computer simulation of implantation processes during particle deposition. It is established that a two-phase structure of CrN and-Mo2N phases of the structural type NaCl is formed in the multi-period coatings of the CrNx/MoNx system with a nanometer thickness of the layers. Because of the small difference in periods (less than 0.5 %) for Λ = 20 nm, the layers form a coherent interlayer interface. The use of small Ub – 20 V during deposition makes it possible to avoid significant mixing at interlayer (interphase) boundaries even at the smallest Λ = 10 nm. Nitride layers formed under conditions of vacuum arc deposition are under the action of compressive stresses. In the СrNх/TiNх system, because of the relatively large discrepancy between periods (more than 2.5 %), during the formation of the same structural components in the layers (CrN and TiN phases of the structural type NaCl), the epitaxial growth with period adjusting does not occur, even for the smallest Λ = 10 nm. The action of the deformation factor at the interphase boundary allows achieving an ultrahard state (with a hardness of about 50 GPa), which causes a relatively low friction coefficient. The obtained results on the formation of phase-structural states with the nanoscale thickness of layers of multi-period nitride coatings are explained from the position of minimization of surface energy and deformation energy.Документ Influence of pressure of working atmosphere on the formation of phase-structural state and physical and mechanical properties of vacuum-arc multilayer coatings ZrN/CrN(2016) Sobol, O. V.; Andreev, A. A.; Gorban, V. F.; Stolbovoy, V. A.; Meylekhov, A. A.; Postelnyk, A. A.; Dolomanov, A. V.For multilayer coating system ZrN/CrN determined the effect of the pressure of the working atmosphere of nitrogen (Pɴ), DC (˗Us) and pulse (-Ui) negative bias potential during the deposition and the thickness of the layers in the period on the phase composition, texture, substructural characteristics and physical-mechanical properties. It is found that for Рɴ = (2.2...12)·10-4 Torr in the layers of chromium nitride formed on a lower nitrogen phase with the β-Cr2N simple hexagonal crystal lattice, and in the zirconium nitride layers are formed of a stoichiometric ZrN phase with a cubic lattice. Such a multilayer coating (layer thickness about 50 nm) at the maximum in this range Pɴ = 1.2·10-3 Torr is most solid (39 GPa) with a modulus of elasticity of 268 GPa and the ratio H/E = 0.145. At higher Pɴ, when the layers are formed phase stoichiometric composition with homogeneous crystal lattices (ZrN and СrN) hardness of the composition is not more than 33 GPa. The mechanisms of the effects observed are based on the higher barrier properties of the interphase boundary layers with different types of crystal lattices was discussed.Документ Influence of the Bias Potential and the Pressure of the Nitrogen Atmosphere on the Structure and Properties of Vacuum-arc Coatings Based on the AlCrTiZrNbV High-entropy Alloy(Sumy State University, 2018) Sobol, O. V.; Andreev, A. A.; Gorban, V. F.; Postelnyk, A. A.; Stolbovoy, V. A.; Zvyagolskiy, A. V.The effect of the constant bias potential (Ub) supplied to the substrate upon condensation and pressure of the nitrogen atmosphere (PN) on the elemental composition, growth morphology, texture, and physical-mechanical characteristics of vacuum-arc (AlCrTiVZrNb)Nx coatings is studied. It is established that with increasing Ub from – 110V to – 200V, the axis of preferential growth of crystallites of the fcc phase from [100] to [110] changes. Such a change is accompanied by a decrease in the hardness (H) and the ratio H/E (where E is the modulus of elasticity). The conditions for the formation of the preferential orientation of the crystallites (axial texture) of vacuum-arc (AlCrTiVZrNb)Nx coatings and the influence of texture on mechanical properties are discussed. It was established that the change in PN in the range Torr basically allows to vary the degree of filling of the coating with nitrogen atoms. Based on the revealed regularities, the conditions for achieving high hardness for vacuum-arc coatings of nitrides AlCrTiVZrNb high-entropy alloy are substantiated. Because of the presence in the alloy of elements with a relatively low heat of nitride formation, in order to achieve high hardness, it is necessary to use deposition conditions with relatively low energy of bombarding atoms. The use of a low Ub = –110 V at the highest pressure Torr allows achieving an superhard state with a hardness of 44 GPa.Документ Influence of the magnitude of the bias potential and thickness of the layers on the structure, substructure, stress-deformed state and mechanical (TiMo)N/(TiSi)N coatingsl characteristics of vacuum-arc multi-layered(2020) Sobol, O. V.; Postelnyk, H. O.; Meylekhov, A. A.; Subbotina, V. V.; Stolbovoy, V. A.; Dolomanov, A. V.; Kolesnikov, D. A.; Kovaleva, M. G.; Sukhorukova, Yu. V.Layers based on titanium nitride doped with molybdenum and silicon were used to create a multilayer composite. In this case, the mismatch between the lattice periods of (TiMo)N and (TiSi)N layers was about 1%. It was found that in the (TiMo)N/(TiSi)N multilayer composite, such a mismatch of the periods in the constituent layers does not change the single-phase state of the composite even at relatively large layer thicknesses (about 350 nm). The creation of a (TiMo)N/(TiSi)N composite with a nanometer layer thickness allows one to reduce the magnitude of macrostresses (a large value of which is characteristic of single-layer (TiMo)N coatings) and change the substructural characteristics in a wide range of values. It has been established that the use of multi-element (TiMo)N and (TiSi)N layers in a multilayer coating design allows one to achieve a high-hard state with high adhesive strength and good tribological characteristics. The highest properties (hardness – 34.8 GPa and adhesive strength 166.09 N) were achieved in coatings obtained at Ub = -200 V and a layer thickness of 80 nm, which are characterized by compression macrostresses of 7.85 GPa and microstrains 0.75%.Документ Mixing on the Boundaries of Layers of Multilayer Nanoperiod Coatings of the TiNх/ZrNх System: Simulation and Experiment(Sumy State University, 2017) Sobol, O. V.; Meylekhov, A. A.; Mygushchenko, R. P.; Postelnyk, A. A.; Sagaidashnikov, Yu. Ye.; Stolbovoy, V. A.Using the complex of methods for attestation of the structural state in combination with computer simulation and measurement of mechanical properties (hardness), the influence of the period Λ on the mixing process on the interlayer boundaries of multilayer coatings TiNх/ZrNх is studied. The formation of two phases (TiN and ZrN) with one type of crystal lattice (structural type NaCl) is identified in the layers of multiperiodic compositions TiNx/ZrNx with a period of Λ = 20 ... 300 nm. At Λ = 10 nm, the formation of a solid solution (Zr, Ti)N, as well as a small volume of the TiN phase is revealed on XRD spectras. The presence of TiN component is due to the larger initial value of the layer based on titanium nitride. To explain the results obtained, the results of computer simulation of damage at the atomic level during bombardment by ions accelerated in the Ub field are used. The critical thickness of mixing (about 7 nm) in the TiNx/ZrNx system is determined upon condition that Ub = – 110 V. It is established that a decrease in the period from 300 to 20 nm leads to increase in hardness. The highest hardness of 44.8 GPa corresponds to the superhard state. It is established that the critical thickness of radiation-stimulated defect formation has a significant effect on the stress-strain state and hardness of coatings with a small Λ ≈ 10 nm. In this case, relaxation of the stress-strain compression state occurs and the hardness decreases. However, the formation of a solid solution, while retaining part of the unreacted layer of titanium nitride at Λ = 10 nm, makes it possible to obtain an ultrahigh (44.8 GPa) hardness of the coating.Документ Single layer and multilayer vacuum-arc coatings based on the nitride TiAlSiYN: composition, structure, properties(2017) Beresnev, V. M.; Sobol, O. V.; Pogrebnyak, A. D.; Lytovchenko, S. V.; Ivanov, O. N.; Nyemchenko, U. S.; Srebniuk, P. А.; Meylekhov, A. A.; Barmin, A. E.; Stolbovoy, V. A.; Novikov, V. Yu.; Mazilin, B. A.; Kritsyna, Е. V.; Serenko, T. A.; Malikov, L. V.Using high-technological vacuum-arc evaporation in the atmosphere of nitrogen with ion bombardment, single- and multilayer coatings based on TiAlSiYN with high mechanical characteristics were obtained: hardness of the coatings reached 49.5 GPA, resistance to wear, with the value of the critical point LC5 reaching 184.92 N. The peculiarities of radiation-induced effect at applying bias potential Ub were found: formation of nitride coatings based on fcc metallic lattice with the preferred orientation of crystallites with the texture axis [111], as well as simultaneous growth of hardness. Hardness of both single- and multilayer coatings increases by 40-50 % at the increase of Ub from 50 to 200 V. Formation of silicon-containing layers of TiAlSiYN during the deposition contributes to reaching increased hardness, which, in the case of single-layer coating obtained at Ub = -200 V is 49.5 GPA, which corresponds to super hard state. The mechanisms of structure formation, defining the resulting mechanical characteristics of single- and multi-layer coatings based on TiAlSiYN nitride have been discussed.Документ Structural Engineering and Mechanical Properties of (Ti-V-Zr-Nb-Hf-Ta)N Coatings Obtained at Different Pressures(Сумський державний університет, 2019) Sobol, O. V.; Andreev, A. A.; Postelnyk, H. O.; Meylekhov, A. A.; Sagaidashnikov, Yu. Ye.; Stolbovoy, V. A.; Yevtushenko, N. S.; Syrenko, T. O.; Kraievska, Zh. V.; Zvyagolskiy, A. V.Effect of pressure of the reaction gas on the texture, structural stress state and mechanical properties (hardness and resistance to abrasive wear) in vacuum-arc coatings based on Ti-V-Zr-Nb-Hf-Ta nitrides of high entropy alloys were investigated in this work. At a bias potential of – 200V, an increase in nitrogen pressure during deposition from 2.5·10⁻⁴ to 4.5·10⁻³ Torr leads to an increase in the content of nitrogen atoms in the coating, and the formation of a bittexture state [111] + [311] is established. The formation of a biaxial texture occurs due to the presence in alloys of atoms with very different masses (Ti, V and Hf, Ta). The use of a multi-element composition in a single-phase state with a simple cubic lattice allows to achieve high values of microstrain (up to 1.4 %) with a low deposition pressure. It is determined that the increase of nitrogen pressure during deposition leads to an increase in macrostresses. The highest hardness of 53 GPa is achieved in coatings obtained at a pressure of 2·10⁻³ Torr. It has been established that coatings with high resistance to abrasive wear are found to be: crystallite grain size 12-25 nm, absent of texture (or a low level of texture perfection), and also rather high microstrain in crystallites.Документ Structural Engineering Multiperiod Coating ZrN/MoN(Sumy State University, 2016) Sobol, O. V.; Meylekhov, A. A.; Stolbovoy, V. A.; Postelnyk, A. A.Using the method of structural engineering by changing the thickness of the layers in a multiperiod ZrN/MoN system investigated the effect of the phase-texture state of the crystallites and their size on the hardness of the vacuum-arc coating. Is revealed a determining influence on the formation of ZrN layers preferential orientation growth [100] axis with a small layer thickness 7-20 nm (the deposition of 3 to 10 seconds). At high layer thickness determines the texture [311] crystallites are - Mo2N phase formed in the Mo-N layers. Pulsed high-voltage stimulation without changing the type of structural states for different layer thicknesses, leads to partial disorientation texture in thick layers. Hardness of coating with thick (80 nm) layers is 35-37 GPa. In small thickness layers pulse stimulation of atoms motility causes the formation of a planar structure with an average crystallite size of 4-9 nm in the layers, which is accompanied by increased hardness of up to 44 GPa.Документ Structural engineering of NbN/Cu multilayer coatings by changing the thickness of the layers and the magnitude of the bias potential during deposition(2019) Sobol, O. V.; Andreev, A. A.; Stolbovoy, V. A.; Kolesnikov, D. A.; Kovaleva, M. G.; Meylekhov, A. A.; Postelnyk, H. O.; Dolomanov, А. V.; Sagaidashnikov, Yu. Ye.; Kraievska, Zh. V.To determine the patterns of structural engineering of vacuum-arc coatings based on niobium nitride in the NbN/Cu multilayer composition, the effect of layer thickness and bias potential on the structural-phase state and physico-mechanical characteristics of vacuum-arc coatings was studied. It was found that the metastable δ-NbN phase (cubic crystal lattice, structural type NaCl) is formed in thin layers (about 8 nm thick) regardless of Ub. With a greater thickness of the layers of niobium nitride (in the multilayer NbN/Cu composition), the phase composition changes from metastable δ-NbN to the equilibrium ε-NbN phase with a hexagonal crystal lattice. An increase in the bias potential during deposition from -50 to -200 V mainly affects the change in the preferential orientation of crys-tallite growth. The highest hardness (28.2 GРa) and adhesive resistance is achieved in coatings obtained at Ub = -200 V with the smallest layer thickness. The highest hardness corresponds to the structurally deformed state in which the crystallite texture is formed with the [100] axis perpendicular to the growth surface, as well as a large microstrain (1.5%) in crystallites.Документ Structural Engineering of the Multilayer Vacuum Arc Nitride Coatings Based on Ti, Cr, Mo and Zr(Sumy State University, 2017) Sobol, O. V.; Postelnyk, A. A.; Meylekhov, A. A.; Andreev, A. A.; Stolbovoy, V. A.; Gorban, V. F.The possibilities of structural engineering of multi-period vacuum-arc coatings based on nitrides of transition metals Ti, Cr, Mo, and Zr have been investigated by structural studies (X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy) in combination with measurement of hardness by indentation. The formation of phases with a cubic crystal lattice under nonequilibrium conditions under vacuum arc method of production. The supply of a negative bias potential of – 200V in mononitrides leads to the predominant formation of texture of crystallites with the [111] axis. The introduction of thin (about 10 nm) metal layers leads to a decrease in texture perfection [111] and texture formation [100]. This effect is associated with a change in the stress-strain state of nitride layers. It is determined that the composite multiperiod coatings (Me1N/Me2N)/(Me1/Me2) have a greater hardness and greater resistance compared to MeN/Me. For a multiperiod system with damping metal layers – (ZrN/CrN)/(Zr/Cr), superhard coatings with a hardness of 46 GPa were obtained.Документ Structure and corrosion resistance of vacuum-arc multi-period CrN/Cu, ZrN/Cu and NbN/Cu coatings(2020) Postelnyk, H. O.; Sobol, O. V.; Stolbovoy, V. A.; Serdiuk, I. V.; Chocholaty, O.The structure and properties of vacuum-arc multi-period composite coatings of the MeN/Cu system (where Me is Cr, Zr, and Nb) are studied. It was found that at the smallest nanolayer thickness (about 8…10 nm) of composites in the layers of all systems, only a phase with an fcc lattice is formed, without a pronounced texture in the nitride layers. For ZrN and CrN, the phases with an fcc lattice are equilibrium, and for NbN, they are nonequilibrium. An increase in the thickness of nitride layers leads to the appearance of a texture in ZrN/Cu and CrN/Cu systems and the formation of an equilibrium ε-NbN phase in the layers of the NbN/Cu system. Tests for corrosion resistance in the environment of the formation of chloride ions showed that the coatings are anodic reaction. The best corrosion properties were obtained for coatings with the smallest layer thickness (about 8…10 nm).Документ Structure and mechanical properties of nitride multilayer systems on the basis of high entropy alloys and transition metals of group VI(2016) Nyemchenko, U. S.; Beresnev, V. M.; Sobol, O. V.; Lytovchenko, S. V.; Stolbovoy, V. A.; Novikov, V. Ju.; Meylekhov, A. A.; Postelnyk, A. A.; Kovaleva, M. G.The influence of technological parameters of obtaining on the possibilities of structural engineering and mechanical properties of multilayer compositions of the layers of nitrides of high entropy alloy Ti-Zr-Nb-Ta-Hf and of transition metal (Group IV) nitrides has been analysed. It is shown that with the bias potential Ub lesser than -150 V was applied to the substrate during deposition, a two-phase state with the preferred orientation of the crystallites can be reached in multilayer coatings with the thickness of the layers of 50 nm. This leads to high hardness (up to 44 GPa) and to high adhesion strength (critical load up to 125 N) as well as to low wear (with a counterbody Al ₂O₃, and with steel Ac100Cr6). High-temperature annealing (700 ⁰C) of such coatings leads to enhanced texture as a result of atomic ordering, which is accompanied by increasing of hardness up to 59 GPa. The supply of bias potential exceeding 150 V, followed by a substantial mixing at the interphase boundary results in disorientation and improves dispersion of the crystallites, reduces hardness and wear resistance. High temperature annealing of such structures leads to reduction of their mechanical properties.Документ Structure and Properties of Vacuum Arc Single-Layer and Multiperiod Two-Layer Nitride Coatings Based on Ti(Al):Si Layers(Sumy State University, 2017) Beresnev, V. M.; Sobol, O. V.; Pogrebnjak, A. D.; Lytovchenko, S. V.; Stolbovoy, V. A.; Srebniuk, P. A.; Novikov, V. Ju.; Doshchechkina, I. V.; Meylehov, A. A.; Postelnyk, A. A.; Nyemchenko, U. S.; Mazylin, B. A.; Kruhlova, V. V.The paper provides an analysis of impact of deposition conditions on structural and phase state and thermal stability of vacuum arc coatings based on Ti(Al):Si layers. We studied single-phase single-layer coatings, and multiperiod bilayer coatings with second phase nitride interlayers of one of the following three metals: Mo, Cr or Zr. It was established that hexagonal and cubic lattices may form in the coatings when transition to the cubic lattice occurs with Al content of about 25 at. %. Presence of second nanoscale (7-8 nm) layers in bilayer multiperiod compositions, which consist of one nitride from CrNx, MoNx or ZrNx group, does not change the type of lattice in [Ti(Al):Si]Nx layers. Also, an fcc lattice with a strong or weak texture [111] forms in CrNx and ZrNx layers, while crystallites with hexagonal lattice form in MoNx layers. High-temperature annealing at 700 °С during 40 minutes leads to a significant (by 23 % or up to H 47.56 GPa) increase in microhardness of coating of the [Ti(Al)]Nx/ZrNy system due to formation of a nano-size structure with an average size of crystallites of 3.6 nm in [Ti(Al)]Nx layers, and 6.3 nm in ZrNx layers.Документ Structure and Properties of Vacuum-arc Coatings of Chromium and Its Nitrides Obtained under the Action of Constant and Pulse High-voltage Bias Potential(Sumy State University, 2017) Sobol, O. V.; Postelnyk, A. A.; Mygushchenko, R. P.; Al-Qawabeha, Ubeidulla F.; Tabaza, Taha A.; Al-Qawabah, Safwan M.; Gorban, V. F.; Stolbovoy, V. A.To reveal the regularities of structural engineering of vacuum-arc coatings based on chromium and its nitrides, the influence of the main physicotechnological factors (the pressure of the nitrogen atmosphere and the bias potential) in the formation of coatings was studied. It was discovered that during the deposition of chromium coatings the formation of the texture axis [100], as well as the macrodeformation of compression is happening. The supply of a high-voltage negative pulse potential to the substrate increases the mobility of the deposited atoms and leads to relaxation of the compression deformation. As the pressure increases from Torr, the phase composition of the coatings changes: Cr (JCPDS 06-0694) → Cr2N(JCPDS 35-0803) → CrN(JCPDS 11-0065). The supply of high-voltage pulses leads to the formation of a texture of crystallites with parallel growth surfaces planes having d ≈ 0.14 nm. The structure obtained by pulsed high-voltage action makes it possible to increase the hardness of the coating to 32 GPa and reduce the friction coefficient to 0.32 in the "chromium nitride-steel" system and to 0.11 in the "chromium nitride-diamond" system. The results obtained are explained from the viewpoint of increasing the mobility of atoms and the formation of cascades of displacements when using an additional high-voltage potential in the pulse form during the deposition of chromium-based coatings.
