Mechanical and tribological features of TaN(Ag-Cu) duplex nanocomposite coatings: their response to heat treatment

ABSTRACT: AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel samples and silicon (100) were coated with tantalum nitride doped with copper and silver nanoparticles TaN(Ag-Cu) to improve their hardness and wear resistance. The coatings were deposited by unbalanced DC Magnetron Sputtering technique, using a tantalu...
