摘要
We report on the synthesis of Ti-containing diamondlike hydrocarbon (Ti-DLC) coatings by plasma-assisted physical vapor deposition and the characterization of coating microstructure and mechanical properties. We find that Ti-DLC coatings with Ti compositions higher than 5.5 at. % an composites consisting of nanocrystalline TiC in an amorphous hydrocarbon matrix. The hardness and elastic modulus of Ti-DLC coatings are found to increase monotonically with increasing Ti composition, while the ratio of the hardness to the modulus remains approximately constant.
