Characteristics of the Structure, Mechanical, and Tribological Properties of a Mo-Mo<sub>2</sub>N Nanocomposite Coating Deposited on the Ti6Al4V Alloy by Magnetron Sputtering

Mo-Mo<sub>2</sub>N nanocomposite coating was produced by reactive magnetron sputtering of a molybdenum target, in the atmosphere, of Ar and N<sub>2</sub> gases. Coating was deposited on Ti6Al4V titanium alloy. Presented are the results of analysis of the XRD crystal structure...
