Nanocomposite nc-ZrCN/a-C:H(N) films were prepared by filtered cathodic vacuum arc technique using the C2H2 and N2 gas as the precursor. The effect of the C2H2 and N2 flow rate on the microstructure, internal stress, phase composition, and mechanical properties of nanocomposite nc-ZrCN/a-C:H(N)...

Nanocomposite nc-TiC/a-C:H films have been deposited via filtered cathodic vacuum arc technique, employing Ti target and C2H2 gas as material precursors. The composition and nanostructure of film, correlated to mechanical and tribological properties of film, are varied by changing C2H2 flow rate...

Nanocomposite nc-TiC/a-C:H films, with an unusual combination of superhardness and high elastic recovery, are prepared by using dual plasma technique. The effect of the filter coil current on the compositional and structural properties of the nc-TiC/a-C:H films has been investigated. It is found...

Microarc oxidation (MAO) treatment produces a thick Al2O3 coating on the 15SiCp/2024 aluminum matrix composite. After pretreatment of Ti ion implantation, a thin diamond-like carbon film (DLC) was deposited on the top of polished Al2O3 coating by a pulsed filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA)...
