Abstract

The structure, the chemical and phase compositions, and the micromechanical and tribological properties of chromium–carbon coatings obtained by the magnetron sputtering of composite and/or sintered chromium–nanodiamond targets are investigated. The coatings possess the composite multiphase structure composed of chromium and its phases formed as a result of the chemical interactions of the target material’s components both between each other and with the reactive gas if present in a sputtering atmosphere. Several technological factors influencing the structural and phase peculiarities of the coatings, their nanohardness, and the dry friction behavior at high contact pressures are studied.
