- Abstract
Ti-Si-B-C-N film was deposited by DC magnetron sputtering at different argon and nitrogen ratios such as N2/Ar = 1 : 5, 2 : 4, 3 : 3, 4 : 1 and 5 : 0. The formation of TiN and TiB phases was observed because of incorporation of nitrogen. The hardness, modulus, microstructure, structure and bond formation with different nitrogen contents during the deposition were studied by nanoindentation, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. The oxidation kinetics of Ti-Si-B-C-N was investigated. The nitrogen incorporation during deposition influences different properties of the coating. Hardness and modulus decreased, and microstructure showed very fine grain presence, and film changes to fully amorphous because of incorporation of nitrogen in the film.
