Properties of Spark Plasma Sintered Compacts and Magnetron Sputtered Coatings Made from Cr, Mo, Re and Zr Alloyed Tungsten Diboride

To enhance the properties of tungsten diboride, we have synthesized and characterized solid solutions of this material with chromium, molybdenum, rhenium and zirconium. The obtained materials were subsequently deposited as coatings. Various concentrations of these transition metal elements, ranging...
