The application of an assisting gas plasma generator for low-temperature magnetron sputtering of Ti-C-Mo-S antifriction coatings on titanium alloys
The positive effect of assisting influence of high-density gas plasma formed by an independent plasma generator PINK on mechanical and tribological characteristics of Ti-C-Mo-S magnetron coating on titanium alloys at lowered to 350Β°Π‘ temperature of coating regardless of alloy structural condition was revealed by methods of calotest, nanorecognition, scratch testing and frictional material tests. The coating formed by means of a combined magnetron plasma method reduces titanium alloys friction coefficient in multiple times and increases wear resistance by two orders of magnitude. At the same time the mechanical properties of ultra-fine-grained titanium alloys obtained by nanostructuring do not deteriorate
Comparative physical-tribological properties of anti-friction ion-plasma Ti-C-Mo-S coating on VT6 alloy or 20X13 and 40X steels
Results of comparative tests mechanical and tribological properties of solid antifriction Ti-C-Mo-S coating, deposited by magnetron-plasma combined sputtering method on substrates of VT6 titanium alloy, 40X and 20X13 hardened steels are provided. Coating is sputtered using the same conditions and technological regimes on substrates of different materials. However, the friction tests results showed significant difference in tribological characteristics of coating depending on type of material used for substrate, first of all by wear-resistance ability. Authors suppose that this is due to difference between physical properties such as composition and structure of substrate materials that determines hardness and coating adhesion to surface

Structure and Properties of CrN/TiN Multi-Layer Coatings Obtained by Vacuum-Arc Plasma-Assisted Deposition Method
The paper presents the study results of CrN/TiN multi-layer coatings, as well as single-layer TiN and CrN coatings on Cr12MoV cold work die steel deposited by the vacuum-arc plasma-assisted method. Three CrN/TiN coatings of 8-, 16-, and 32-layers were deposited, in which the thickness of each layer was 500 nm, 250 nm and 125 nm, respectively. All of the coatings reveal a face-centered cubic structure with highly oriented (111) growth. The hardness of the CrN/TiN multi-layer coatings was about 27 GPa. Changing the architecture of CrN/TiN multi-layer coatings by reducing the thickness of the CrN and TiN layers from 500 nm to 125 nm promotes a smooth decrease in both the wear parameter and the coefficient of friction. By using an X-ray phase analysis with synchrotron radiation, it was found that 32-layer CrN/TiN coating retained thermal stability during heating in air to a temperature of 1120β1125 Β°C, and in a vacuum at least to a temperature of 1200 Β°C
